Kabu's Sunset City: How Shards, XP and Season 1 Rewards Work
Kabu says the top 50 Sunset City profiles by total Shards on Nov. 23 share a Season 1 pool of $1,000+ USDC, 50 Kabu NFTs and 50% of Kabu NFT royalties.
Ruyui is migrating from Abstract to Ethereum Mainnet with upgraded art and 'Awakened Auras,' announced 11 days ago. Migration registration is at 15% supply (9 days ago). Recent collaborations include @kabuxyz (Sunset City, 30 days ago) and @unvault (partner collection, 67 days ago). A raffle for @YieldFields_RH Founding Deeds ended 34 days ago, and a raffle for @NibblinsHQ was teased 62 days ago.
Ruyui is an animation and gaming studio building on Abstract Chain, creating games and media set in a single original universe. The studio is led by co-founders Petek and Yan, whose stated ambition is to build Ruyui into a durable, recognizable entertainment IP without surrendering ownership through traditional publishing deals.
Ruyui combines animation and game development around one persistent world — the Ruyui universe — releasing games, lore, and media set inside it rather than disconnected titles. Its flagship and first playable chapter is Roots of Embervault, a top-down pixel-art soulslike RPG set in one of the universe's founding cities, covered in depth on its own entity page.
Ruyui Studios was founded by Petek and Yan and builds on Abstract Chain, with onchain systems such as Proof of Play-powered randomness integrated at the game level. Roots of Embervault is published by @YGGPlay (Yield Guild Games Play), which provides launchpad distribution and community access across the APAC region while Ruyui retains full IP ownership.
Ruyui Studios first signalled the move on October 6, 2026: "Needless to say, see you on ETH, details soon." On October 15 it published the plan, "Ruyui's Ethereum Era." With Abstract shutting down on December 15, 2026, the Ruyui NFT collection will move to Ethereum mainnet through a register-and-claim migration rather than a bridge.
Holders register a standard EVM claim wallet at hub.ruyui.com/migration; an Abstract Global Wallet cannot be used as the claim wallet. Trading and transfers on Abstract freeze on November 1 at 3:00 PM UTC, when a final ownership snapshot is taken. Ethereum mainnet claims open on November 3 at 3:00 PM UTC and close permanently on December 15 at 3:00 PM UTC, with no extensions or late claims. Any Ruyui still unclaimed then goes to the Ruyui treasury. Selling or transferring a registered Ruyui before the freeze cancels the holder's whole registration.
The studio also said an art upgrade and the reveal of Auras are planned on Ethereum for January 2027, and that a partnership with Unvault will make Ruyui an omnichain collection with Ethereum as its core home. Its game, Roots of Embervault (/tags/roots-of-embervault), is not moving to Ethereum: it will relaunch on Ronin.
On October 17, Ruyui posted that "15% of the supply is already registered for migration." The supply is the NFT collection, not a token. The dashboard it shared showed 1,057 of 7,000 Ruyui registered (15.1%), 156 of 1,000 Hub holder accounts signed, and none claimed yet, since claims do not open until November 3.
RUYUI maintained steady trading momentum on Abstract with 6 sales and 0.0588 ETH volume, holding its 0.0100 ETH floor. The established pfp collection continues focusing on its Ethereum Mainnet migration featuring upgraded artwork, with registration currently at 15% of supply. Recent partnerships with Kabu and Unvault signal ongoing ecosystem development for the verified collection.

YGG cut 35 staff and sunset YGG Play citing an unsustainable market, the same stretch Kabu, Final Bosu and most of Fugz relocated off Abstract to Ethereum — and Base's own founder called Q1 2026 a punch in the face.

Kabu's NFT collection has fully migrated to Ethereum: trading is live on a new contract, EVM-wallet holders were auto-airdropped, and a claim portal for remaining holders opens July 11.

Kabu freezes its NFT collection on Abstract at 5pm EST on July 10 -- holders must move Kabu NFTs to an EVM-compatible wallet before the snapshot to receive an automatic Ethereum airdrop.
