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 executing a major migration from Abstract blockchain to Ethereum Mainnet with a Dec 15 registration deadline. 44.5% of the OG Abstract collection has already registered; the collection froze 2 days ago and claims went live Nov 3. The project is also launching Roots of Embervault gameplay requiring account verification across multiple wallet/social options.
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. The original Abstract collection was frozen on November 1, 2026, at about 3:00 PM UTC: transfers and trades on Abstract are no longer possible. Registration and claims stay open until December 15, with no extensions or late claims, and any Ruyui still unclaimed then goes to the Ruyui treasury.
Ethereum mainnet claims were set to open on November 3. That day Ruyui co-founder voxelqueen pushed them back a day, posting that claims "will start tomorrow instead of today while we figure out the verification and the volume transfer with the OpenSea team"; the studio account reposted it. Claims open on November 4, 2026; no new opening time was given.
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%). Hours before the freeze, voxelqueen put the figure at 43%. When the collection froze, the studio said 44.5% of the collection was registered for migration.
RUYUI recorded no sales in the last 24 hours, with 0.0000 ETH volume and the floor at 0.0000 ETH. The OpenSea-verified Abstract collection remains early-stage, with 3 owners across 97 supply (3.1% unique ownership). Social sentiment is bullish around the Abstract-to-Ethereum migration, Roots of Embervault game launch, and collection freeze and claims.

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.
