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.
Gigaverse's FAQ for The Awakening, its final event, set the close for "Friday, October 9, 2026, 18:00 UTC." Later that day the team thanked players for taking part "in The Awakening event and in legacy Gigaverse" and said the game is now in downtime "prior to the launch of Gigaverse Online," its next game. No launch date has been given, and Gigaverse has not said which chain Gigaverse Online will run on. The team said it is bringing the legacy contracts down, auditing the event results, preparing redemptions and publishing a leaderboard for the event, and that it aims to open prize redemptions the following week.
What happens to items, per the FAQ: Eternal items can be imported into a Chronodisc in Gigaverse Online by creating an account and signing with the wallet that holds them. Seasonal items ended with The Awakening, except Cash-Out Items, which stay in Gigaverse and remain redeemable. Racing items stay in Gigaverse and do not move to Gigaverse Online. ROMs stay in holders' wallets, and "ROMs 2.0 will move them to Ethereum." Giglings stay in holders' wallets while racing and duels are paused. Giganames stay reserved for three months after Gigaverse Online opens.
On October 6, 2026, Gigaverse posted that Abstract Chain is shutting down on December 15 and that, "as we announced in August, the Gigaverse ROMs collection is preparing to migrate to ETH Mainnet." It said the migration "WILL happen before Abstract Chain shuts down" and that the Giglings collection "will also migrate off of Abstract Chain." The FAQ says GIGABIT and Cash-Out Items "will be redeemable on Ethereum mainnet."
After the close, Gigaverse said it would share details of "the ROMs/Giglings migration off of Abstract soon" in a separate announcement, including how holders can move their assets before the December 15 shutdown. Those details had not been published when this section was written.
Gigaverse links Abstract's shutdown to the deadline for moving its collections. Neither its posts nor the FAQ gives Abstract's wind-down as the reason the game itself closed, and neither does this page.

Gigaverse ROMs saw a steady trading day, as the OpenSea-verified collection recorded 15 sales at 0.5906 ETH volume with floor prices holding at 0.0469 ETH. With 22.9% unique ownership across 10,000 items, activity stayed consistent despite ongoing ecosystem moves like the Abstract Chain shutdown and Gigaverse Online’s post-Awakening transition.

Proof of Play said on August 4 it is ceasing operations and open-sourcing Pirate Nation's code, contracts and art under CC0. Its Abstract-based Arcade went unmentioned, and the site now returns a server error.
Gigaverse's standalone racing game hit 300 community races in its first three hours, crossed 1,000 in 18 hours, and ended week one with $250 paid to creators — all organic, according to founder @0xDith.
