playgigaverse has expanded payment options for its in-game currency, gigabit, now accepting USDC in addition to ETH as of March 6, 2026.

The key feature of the update is a built-in automatic swap: players holding ETH no longer need to manually convert to USDC before completing a purchase. The conversion happens within a single transaction, reducing friction in the buying process.

What Is Gigaverse?

playgigaverse is a fully on-chain pixel-art MMO RPG built on the Abstract blockchain, developed by the GLHFers team. The game features dungeon crawling, PvP combat, crafting, and a player-owned economy that has generated over $10 million in marketplace volume across its 75,000+ player base.

Gigabit serves as the game's native currency, used for in-game transactions and progression. The USDC payment addition comes alongside recent activity from the team, including an anniversary celebration and a gigabit-themed cosmetics drop.

The update is live now. Players can access gigabit purchases directly through the game without needing a separate DEX or wallet interaction to swap tokens first.
