Gigaverse sets Nov. 15, Nov. 16 deadlines as Abstract exits

Gigaverse posted three dated deadlines for players and NFT holders on Nov. 10, ahead of Abstract's Dec. 15 shutdown: past event prizes must be claimed by Nov. 15, and its ROMs are "trade locked + snapshotted" on Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. EST (3 p.m. UTC), according to a note post from its verified @gigaverse account.

Our Oct. 21 map of Abstract projects' destinations listed Gigaverse's ROMs announcement as undated. This post supplies the ROM plan and the dates. The account is the one linked from the gigaverse.io site.

The three dates

By Nov. 15. Gigaverse says players should "claim past event prizes or forfeit them" at gigaverse.io/awakening/redeem, and that Abstract wallet users should "link an EVM wallet at Gigaverse.io to keep access to your account + items." The post gives no time of day for this deadline. The redeem page, as of Nov. 11, says withdrawals and redemptions pause on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 18:00 UTC, and that Gigabit "stays in your balance and will be redeemable on Ethereum mainnet later."

Nov. 16, 10 a.m. EST (3 p.m. UTC). The post says ROMs are trade locked and snapshotted, points are "auto-allocated to ROM holders based on ROM traits," and the Giga Legends mint "goes live later that day (gasless)."

Before Dec. 14. Gigaverse says holders should spend points "in the Legends mint or gacha machines," that "unused points cease to exist," and that the mint window closes on Dec. 14.

How ROMs become Giga Legends

The mint rules come from a mint-details article that @GigaLegendsLTD published on Oct. 29, which the Nov. 10 post links. It says Giga Legends has no whitelist and no public sale, and is minted only by converting GLHFers and ROMs. It says Giga Legends "will live on Ethereum mainnet." Twenty-four points mint one Legend, and higher-memory and higher-rarity ROMs are worth more. The graphic attached to the Nov. 10 post lists an 8 MB Silver at 3 points, a 128 MB Gold at 12 and a 128 MB Void at 24.

The article says points can also be used in "one of two available gacha machines" to receive a Giga Legend "or other prizes," or sent to another wallet. The Nov. 10 post says points are "freely transferable between wallets."

For ROMs, the Nov. 10 post says "No need to move your ROMs. Just link your EVM wallet." The Oct. 29 article says ROMs that never convert "stay on Abstract until the chain winds down" and are then lost. The Awakening FAQ, as of Nov. 11, still says: "Currently on Abstract, ROMs will soon migrate to Ethereum mainnet." It also says that NFTs on Abstract such as ROMs "move in a separate process." For background on the collection, see our ROMs and Giglings explainer.

GLHFers

Gigaverse says GLHFers holders need take no action. Each GLHFers "will be airdropped its Giga Legend on a 1:1 basis," the old contract will be deprecated and trading disabled, and timing will come in a follow-up announcement "soon." The Oct. 29 article said the airdrop happens at the end of the mint window.

What the posts leave open

The Oct. 29 article gave the mint window as Nov. 16 to Dec. 1. The Nov. 10 post says the window closes Dec. 14. In the posts we reviewed through Nov. 11, Gigaverse has not explained the difference. It has also not given a date for the GLHFers airdrop. The Nov. 10 post says the full announcement is in Gigaverse's Discord official info channels, which we did not review.

Abstract's own Oct. 6 announcement says the chain shuts down on Dec. 15 and that funds not bridged by then "will be inaccessible." Our Oct. 7 report covers the bridge options.
