Nifty Gateway bots on Telegram are not the marketplace

Gemini’s NFT venue lived at niftygateway.com. Random *NiftyGateway* bots are a different business: yours.

Nifty Gateway was a known NFT marketplace (later under Gemini) at niftygateway.com, with ordinary web login and support — not a swarm of unofficial Telegram trading robots. Parent-company notices in 2026 described a platform wind-down and withdrawal guidance on the real site. That history is public. It does not authorise @NiftyGateway… bots in chat apps.

Those bots borrow the brand, show a painted “portfolio”, and then invent barriers at withdrawal: network fee, insurance, identity deposit, minimum top-up. The names mutate — Gateway, Nifty, Gate_bot — but the invoice does not. There is no licence page tying them to the real operator.

If you still need anything from the genuine service, use niftygateway.com paths published by the operator. Never fund a Telegram robot because the display name matches a marketplace you once trusted. For paid “recovery” after an NFT-bot loss, read Fake recovery first.
