Gigaverse requires owners to move Gigling NFTs off Abstract by Dec 1, with the race mode to return after Gigaverse Online launches, and future trades limited to its Gigamarket.
Gigaverse announced that holders of its Gigling NFTs must migrate their assets off the Abstract platform by Dec 1, 2026, ahead of Abstract’s planned shutdown on Dec 15, 2026. The migration will be performed through a dedicated studio site where users connect an Ethereum wallet. The deadline is part of a broader transition as the studio shifts its browser‑based roguelike to a persistent MMORPG called Gigaverse Online.
While the migration deadline is immediate, the popular Gigling Racing mode will not resume until after Gigaverse Online goes live. The studio says the pause allows it to redesign the race mechanic to reduce transaction friction and lower costs for players, aiming for a more scalable on‑chain experience.
Post‑migration, Giglings will no longer be tradable on open marketplaces. Instead, they will be listed exclusively on Gigaverse’s own Gigamarket, with prices denominated in the platform’s Gigabit token. Gigabit can be purchased with crypto on any chain or with fiat, and the marketplace is expected to be operational before the end of 2026. This closed‑loop model is intended to enable live trait updates and cross‑chain compatibility.
Abstract users must also link an EVM wallet by Nov 15, 2026 to retain access to their accounts, and ROM token holders have a separate window to act on the Giga Legends mint before Abstract winds down. These parallel deadlines underscore the extensive overhaul Gigaverse is undertaking across its ecosystem.
Key indicators will include the proportion of Giglings migrated by the Dec 1 deadline and the performance of the Gigamarket once it launches. Observers will also monitor how the redesigned Gigling Racing mode functions after Gigaverse Online’s release, testing whether a lower‑transaction on‑chain game can sustain player engagement.
