Three weeks in: a YGG reminder, and Hamieverse says its move is done

Three weeks after Abstract announced it is winding down, Yield Guild Games reminded $YGG holders on Oct. 27 to swap or bridge their tokens, saying "YGG liquidity is no longer on Abstract." The chain shuts down on Dec. 15. Our one-week survey and two-week destination map recorded where projects said they were going. This installment covers Oct. 20 to Oct. 27 (Witty's shutdown post is from Oct. 20, a catch-up item): a YGG reminder, Hamieverse's completion notice, new migration counts, and one studio shutting down. Background is in the Day-0 report, the asset guide and the deadline guide.

YGG: a reminder after a September announcement

YGG announced on Sept. 29 that "On October 9, we're removing the YGG/ETH liquidity pair on Abstract." It tied the move to the YGG Play sunset: "After sunsetting YGG Play, we're concentrating our attention and liquidity where it best supports the work ahead." It told holders to swap or bridge $YGG using the Abstract Native Bridge and said "$YGG on Ethereum and other networks are not affected."

The Oct. 27 post, published at 11:34 UTC, is a "Friendly reminder for $YGG holders on Abstract." It says "YGG liquidity is no longer on Abstract, so we recommend moving your $YGG tokens," repeats the swap-or-bridge instruction, and says "$YGG on Ethereum and other networks is not affected." It quotes Abstract's Oct. 6 announcement as the "full guide" and adds that the YGG team "will never DM you first or ask for your wallet details."

Neither post says where the liquidity went or how much $YGG sits on Abstract. Yield Guild Games names no destination chain for the liquidity; the only networks it mentions are Ethereum and "other networks," where the token is unaffected.

Hamieverse says Genesis has migrated

On Oct. 21 at 16:04 UTC Hamieverse posted that "Hamieverse Genesis has officially migrated to Ethereum Mainnet." This is the project's own account. The post gives three figures: 888 Genesis NFTs migrated, 770 airdropped to 152 holders, and the OpenSea collection updated. It says holders who missed the deadline "will be able to claim their Genesis through a dedicated website soon." Hamieverse had told holders on Oct. 17 to move Genesis out of an AGW wallet by Oct. 20 at 23:59 UTC; the Oct. 21 post is the completion notice. Its Oct. 6 post had promised that "one week after the snapshot, we'll open the official claim site for eligible holders." A week after the Oct. 20 snapshot is Oct. 27.

Five days later, on Oct. 26, Hamieverse wrote that "150 Genesis NFTs have been added to the Hamieverse treasury" to "support the next stage of our growth on Eth," funding community activations and giveaways. In the posts we reviewed through Oct. 27 we found no announcement of the claim site for late holders. See Hamieverse.

Bearish and Fugz: two counts, two paces

Bearish posted on Oct. 21 at 19:05 UTC, in a post it titled "24 hours later on ETH," reporting that 4,278 bears had migrated, 61.2% "up from 48.7%." It also reported 91 Customs claimed and 577K $BURR in rewards claimed, and said "Abstract closes Dec 15." Its Oct. 18 announcement set Dec. 16 at 00:00 UTC as last call, when "Bears and BURR not claimed by then go to the team wallet." Our Bearish guide covers the steps.

Fugz founder Yot (@yotdog69) posted on Oct. 21 that 4,951 of 5,555 Fugz had migrated (89.1%), with "almost 1200 unique holders," and that "December 14th, our migration website closes." Earlier counts from the same account were 4,887 on Oct. 9 and 4,907 on Oct. 16. By our arithmetic that is 64 more Fugz in 12 days and 604 not yet on Ethereum, about five a day. Yot has said Fugz processes migration submissions every two weeks, so counts move in batches rather than daily. At that pace the remainder would not clear by Dec. 14, although the rate can change as the deadline nears. Yot has said the decision on burning unclaimed Fugz depends on final numbers and that the burn may not happen if enough migrate.

Fugz also announced a free Halloween collector card. The Fugz account said the card, "Midnight Fuggin' Mayhem," lands Thursday, Oct. 29 at 11 AM EST in limited supply. Yot added that just 500 are available, only through the Collector Hub, and that a 3D version of the card is coming to "the NFT." Neither post names a chain for the mint, and we do not state one.

Anichess: the last Pass reward and a longer OG window

On Oct. 23 Anichess announced that 800K $CHECK had landed. It split the distribution by chain: on Abstract, Checkmate Reign rewards for the OG pool and Checkmate Pass rewards; on Base, Checkmate Reign rewards for the public pool, Streamers League Stage 4, the prior week's events and Road to Magnus. A second post said "Abstract is sunsetting, so this is the last reward of the Checkmate Pass," with 100K $CHECK going to holders plus an in-game skin.

Earlier that day Anichess extended the staking entry for the OG pool to Sunday, Oct. 25 at 00:00 UTC. The original cutoff was Oct. 20, and the Oct. 15 post it quotes put the OG pool's move to Base at "top of November." The Oct. 23 distribution shows the OG pool still paying out on Abstract. Anichess has not published a date for the Checkpoints migration in the posts we reviewed.

Witty: shut Oct. 31, Bearish keeps Blinko

Witty announced on Oct. 20 that "Witty Games will be shutting down on October 31, following the shutdown of Abstract." It lists MoonSheep Cannon, Space Exploration, Lingo and Blinko, "and all other Witty games," and tells players to "check for any outstanding winnings that have gone unclaimed." On Oct. 23 Bearish wrote: "Thank you, Witty. Blinko lives on." Season 2 is live in beta, blinko.gg will point to it, and Bearish "handles all Blinko support and any Season 1 disputes." Neither post says which chain Blinko Season 2 runs on, or what happens to the other Witty titles. See Witty and Blinko.

Already covered: Tollan

Tollan Universe said on Oct. 16 that it is on Robinhood Chain and that account migration is live, with a Dec. 15 deadline. Our Robinhood Chain report covers it.

What the week shows

The first two surveys were about announcements: which chain, and when. This week's items are about infrastructure leaving. Witty says its games close Oct. 31, and Anichess calls its Oct. 23 payout the last Checkmate Pass reward. In the same window two projects reported progress by count (Bearish at 61.2% in a day, Fugz at 89.1%) and one reported completion (Hamieverse).

Open items, per the posts above: YGG has not said where its liquidity went; Hamieverse has not opened its claim site for late holders; Bearish has not named a chain for Blinko Season 2; Anichess has not dated the Checkpoints migration. The Fugz question is whether the next count, now 604 short, moves faster than the Oct. 9 to Oct. 21 rate before the Dec. 14 close.
