Summary
JPEG Store, long the biggest NFT marketplace in the Cardano ecosystem, is shutting down, which means NFT holders and project teams need to decide where their listings go next. In this episode, Peter walks through a practical migration from JPEG Store to WayUp and shows what the process looks like using a real wallet and live listings. The tutorial covers why this migration matters, how WayUp pulls in existing JPEG Store listings, what the wallet transaction is doing behind the scenes, and how to verify the contract movement on Cardanoscan. Peter also shares an important clarification on timing: even after the JPEG Store interface goes down, smart contract level migration may still be possible, but it is better to test before the UI disappears in case edge cases need manual relisting. Key Takeaways: - JPEG Store is shutting down, so NFT holders should review and migrate active listings before the interface goes offline. - WayUp offers a migration feature that can pull in existing JPEG Store listings and move them into a new marketplace contract. - The migration requires a wallet signature, so users should review the transaction addresses and metadata before confirming. - Cardanoscan can be used to verify that assets moved from the JPEG Store ask contract into the WayUp contract. - Supporting active marketplaces helps keep NFT trading infrastructure alive during a weak market cycle. - The JPEG Store website going offline does not necessarily mean NFTs are lost, because the assets remain in smart contracts. - There may still be contract mismatch edge cases, so testing the migration before the UI shutdown is the safest approach.
