Aavegotchi has launched the Geist mainnet, a fundamental advancement for its ecosystem. Geist is presented as the first member-only blockchain specifically designed for the gaming industry.
This development, powered by Arbitrum Orbit and settled on Base, allows online experiences for players and developers, characterized by minimal latency and reduced fees. With the launch, users will be able to mint the MAINNET token, the first in Geist’s inaugural art collection.
Aavegotchi Migrates from Polygon
Aavegotchi has decided to close its chapter on Polygon after more than three years of activity on that platform, where numerous assets were accumulated. The migration to Geist will take place during November and will be a priority to ensure the transfer of the Aavegotchi ecosystem to this new blockchain.
This process will include the migration of tokens such as GHST, Alchemica, and GLTR, as well as assets like Aavegotchis, Wearables, and Forge NFTs. The network will also host an updated permissionless bazaar that will serve as the primary marketplace for Geist, allowing trading on both Polygon and Geist.
Points Campaign and Achievement System
In the short term, some functions will remain on Polygon, but they are expected to be integrated into Geist in the future. The platform plans to implement various new experiences, including the creation of memberships that will function as a chain-wide rewards program. Additionally, a GOTCHI points campaign and an achievement system will be launched. The integration with Camelot, the decentralized exchange for Arbitrum Orbit, is another key aspect of Geist’s development.
With the launch of the mainnet, the Aavegotchi team has expressed its intention to attract more participants to the community. To this end, they have designed an invitation system that rewards members for bringing in new users. Various activities are planned to encourage growth, such as developer-focused hackathons and jam sessions, as well as collaboration with other protocols.
The Geist mainnet represents the realization of a vision that combines a dedicated space for Aavegotchi gaming with low fees and alignment with the governance token $GHST.
