Pentas.​io, a Malaysian bootstrap NFT marketplace, has temporarily suspended operations due to unsustainable AWS hosting costs.​ The self-funded platform faced challenges securing additional funding in Malaysia's skeptical Web3 environment.​

Key points:

  • No external funding or VC backing
  • Team actively sought funding but faced regional skepticism
  • Plans to return with more sustainable operations
  • Will provide guidance for users to access NFTs via alternative platforms like Tofu

The team emphasizes this is a strategic pause, not a permanent closure.​
