Hamieverse Genesis holders: move out of AGW before Oct. 20, 23:59 UTC - Tutorial and guide

Hamieverse will take a snapshot of Genesis holders on October 20 at 23:59 UTC, which is 7:59 p.m. EDT, and said on Oct. 14 that anyone still holding Genesis in an Abstract Global Wallet (AGW) should transfer it to an EVM wallet before then. The project says an NFT in an EVM wallet at the snapshot receives its Ethereum Mainnet airdrop. This guide covers who needs to act, how to move the NFT, and what Hamieverse has not said.

Who needs to act

Only holders whose Genesis NFT sits in an AGW. In its Oct. 14 post, Hamieverse wrote: "If you are still holding in AGW, transfer your Genesis to EVM wallet before October 20 at 23:59 UTC." The post attaches a 23-second video showing the transfer through OpenSea. It carries no link and no written steps.

If your Genesis is already in a wallet you control outside AGW, the project's posts describe no further action before the snapshot. On Oct. 12, Hamieverse posted a character called Hamie who "held his Genesis in AGW" and "moved it to another EVM wallet" ahead of the deadline.

The context: Genesis is moving to Ethereum

Hamieverse announced on Oct. 5 that Genesis is moving to Ethereum Mainnet, and that the move "keeps the door open for future initiatives on Abstract." It added that migration details and next steps for holders would follow. On Oct. 13 it posted "Hamieverse Genesis on Ethereum Mainnet."

The AGW detail matters because of the chain Genesis currently lives on. Abstract itself says on its migration page: "On December 15, Abstract will be shutting down." It adds that users "will have until December 15th 2026 to migrate their assets off Abstract" and that those who do not "will lose access to their funds." Hamieverse's snapshot date comes earlier than Abstract's.

How to move Genesis to an EVM wallet

An EVM wallet here means an Ethereum-compatible wallet address that you control and can sign from. Hamieverse's posts do not name a specific wallet. Pick one whose seed phrase or recovery method you control yourself, and copy its address directly from the wallet app.

OpenSea documents the transfer in its help center. From your profile:

  1. Select the NFT you want to transfer. OpenSea says you can transfer one or several the same way.
  2. Click the arrow icon in the action bar at the bottom of the page.
  3. Choose one of your linked wallets, or select Add Wallet and enter the recipient address (OpenSea also accepts ENS names), then click Review Transfer.
  4. Confirm the signature request in your wallet.
  5. Wait for the confirmation message that the item has been transferred.

OpenSea's help center lists an alternative route: the Send button on the item page, followed by the same address entry, review and signature steps. OpenSea's own warning applies: "Be careful that you're sending your NFT to the right recipient. Once it's been sent, you won't be able to undo it."

Checks before and after you send

  • Verify the receiving address character by character before you confirm. OpenSea says a sent NFT cannot be recalled.
  • Start with a test only if you have time. The snapshot is the hard limit, so do not leave the transfer to the last hour.
  • Network gas applies to a transfer. Check your wallet's fee estimate and balance before the signature step.
  • After sending, open the new wallet and confirm the Genesis item appears there before the deadline, so any problem surfaces with days to spare.

Treat any direct message, reply or site that offers to "migrate" or "protect" your Genesis as suspect. Hamieverse's posts describe a transfer you perform yourself and, later, an official claim site, and OpenSea's transfer steps end at a wallet signature request. Neither the posts nor the steps ask for a seed phrase.

What Hamieverse has not said

The project has said one thing about holders who miss the cutoff: in an Oct. 6 post it wrote that if Genesis "isn't in an EVM wallet by the snapshot, you'll still be able to claim it afterwards," and that "one week after the snapshot, we'll open the official claim site for eligible holders to claim their Genesis on Ethereum Mainnet." That is a stated fallback, not a reason to wait.

Hamieverse has not said, in the posts reviewed, what makes a holder "eligible" for that later claim, what the claim site's address will be, or whether the claim carries any cost or deadline. It has not said what happens to the original Genesis on Abstract after the migration, or whether any step beyond the transfer is required of holders whose NFTs are already in a non-AGW EVM wallet. The project's Genesis site does not mention the move.
