Ethereum Game Aavegotchi Moves to Base

Aavegotchi Migrates from Polygon to Base, Shutters Layer-3 Network

• Aavegotchi will migrate from Ethereum sidechain Polygon to Coinbase’s Base layer-2 network following a successful DAO vote.
• The migration is expected to take 4-6 weeks, with existing NFT assets being re-minted on Base.
• Aavegotchi’s GHST token has decreased by 28% over the past week, priced at $0.438.
• The Geist layer-3 gaming chain will be discontinued as part of the migration process.
• Geist was initially launched with a “member’s only” model requiring fees but rewarding players.

Aavegotchi’s decision to migrate from Polygon to Base follows a community vote and aims to address challenges such as isolation and onboarding friction. The transition will involve re-minting NFT assets on the new network while freezing original Polygon assets.
