Gigaverse sets 1st December cutoff for Gigling NFT migration as Gigling Racing awaits a rework - eGamers.io
Gigaverse has set December 1 as the cutoff for owners to migrate their Gigling NFTs off Abstract ahead of the platform's shutdown on December 15.
Owners must connect an Ethereum wallet on the studio's migration site to complete the process. The migration comes as Abstract prepares to shut down completely on December 15, forcing all games to transition their assets and functionality.
Racing Mode Rework
Gigling Racing, the race mode unlocked by Giglings, won't return immediately. Gigaverse plans to relaunch it after Gigaverse Online goes live, with significant reworks to reduce friction and transaction costs. The studio aims to make the mode more scalable and affordable for players.
Giglings serve as pets and mounts in the game, with ownership required to participate in racing. The rework represents a critical test of whether simplified onchain mechanics can retain players after the migration.
New Marketplace
Post-migration, Giglings will only trade on Gigaverse's in-house marketplace, the Gigamarket, where prices are set in Gigabit. This currency can be purchased with crypto or fiat. The new system allows for live trait updates as pets evolve and cross-chain compatibility.
Gigaverse has also confirmed that Giga Legends will serve as its primary NFT collection moving forward, though their future role remains unspecified. The studio aims to have Giglings tradeable on the Gigamarket before the end of 2026.
Other Deadlines
Additional deadlines include November 15 for Abstract Global Wallet users to link EVM wallets, and ROM holders must mint Giga Legends before Abstract's shutdown. These deadlines highlight the broader transition affecting multiple projects on the platform.
