Why can't I create a new crowdfund, edition, or split?
In order to serve creators and communities over the long-term, we’ve decided to double down our focus on creating the home for web3 publishing.
As a result, we discontinued support for plugins like crowdfunds, NFT editions, and splits to reimagine how funding tools can natively integrate into a toolkit centered on publishing and growing an audience.
Previous crowdfunds, NFT editions, and splits will continue to be accessible via their static pages and active entries. For additional information on closing crowdfunds and withdrawing funds you can check out the guides here in the support portal.
Also, check out the announcement on our dev blog for more info.
