EntitiesGigaverse@playgigaverse's Awakening event prize pool has exceeded $40k with 28 days remaining, while community members report fishing yields higher Hard Cores than dungeons. The game's weather & day/night cycle just updated in the Forbidden Woods map. Developer @0xDith hinted at future expansions beyond the original scope.
Gigaverse is a fully on-chain role-playing game on Abstract, built by the GLHFers team and co-founded by 0xDith (GTM and business lead) and 0xgarnish (lead developer). Described by its creators as "a love letter to pixel RPGs," it combines dungeon crawling, rock-paper-scissors-style combat, crafting, fishing, and PvP into one of the most successful crypto-native games to date.
The game emerged from the GLHFers NFT community, an 888-supply Ethereum genesis collection built to attract "real gamers, not flippers"; GLHFers holders received early access, priority ROM minting, and in-game perks, which helped seed an active, retained player base. Gigaverse launched exclusively on Abstract, and its mint sold out in 10 minutes — an early signal that convinced Dith and co-founder Garnish to build the game full-time.
As of its 200-day milestone (September 2025), Gigaverse reported 75,000+ paid player accounts, a 10M annualized revenue trajectory, and standing as the #1 game on Abstract by active users — figures that made it Abstract's flagship gaming application and a proof point that on-chain games can compete without hiding their crypto mechanics.
Dungeon runs start from Floor 1 with no checkpoints — players fight upward each run, earning Dungeon Scraps (soulbound, used to level characters) and GIGA shards (used to progress the multi-universe system). Combat is rock-paper-scissors-inspired: Sword beats Magic (4 Attack/0 Armor), Shield beats Sword (0 Attack/4 Armor), Magic beats Shield (2 Attack/2 Armor); players start with 12 HP and 2 Armor. Players receive roughly 240 energy per day (six runs); Giga ROM NFT holders get energy boosts. All game state, including loot and combat RNG (via VRF), is recorded on-chain rather than resolved by centralized servers.
Gigaverse's onchain RPG economy runs on tradeable NFT collections. Gigaverse Items are the in-game equipment, consumables, and cosmetics, and Gigaverse ROM NFTs are the core utility collectibles that boost play and fund development. Both are asset collections of the one Gigaverse game rather than separate projects.
CYCLOPS is a community memecoin on Abstract themed on the real one-eyed cat of Gigaverse founder Dith; it brands itself 'The Gaming Meme of Abstract' and markets around Gigaverse/GLHF gaming culture, but is community-led (Thokani2), not an official Gigaverse asset.
Gigaverse runs on Proof of Play's fully on-chain game infrastructure (the a16z-backed engine behind Pirate Nation) and was the first third-party game to use it; the official Gigaverse bio credits 'pwrd @proofofplay'.
YGG Play, Yield Guild Games' publishing arm, signed its first third-party game publishing deal with Gigaverse (the Abstract onchain RPG by studio GLHF), bringing Gigaverse into the YGG Play Launchpad/quest ecosystem under an onchain revenue-share model.
