Migration to Base (2025)

Contributors

TL;DR

On 2025-07-25, the Aavegotchi team announced that Aavegotchi's canonical home (assets, gameplay, governance direction) had moved to Base, marking the end of the multi-year primary deployment on Polygon.

This page is intentionally written as historical framing (what happened, when), not as a "do this now" tutorial.

Key facts (historical)

• Polygon contracts were frozen (paused) and became view-only / non-transferable for most actions.
• Assets were mirrored to Base using a snapshot + minting process.
• Migration coverage included core game and Gotchiverse assets: Aavegotchis, wearables, REALM parcels, installations, tiles, Alchemica, and GLTR.
• GHST canonical address on Base:
  .
• Most users did not need to take action: if you held assets in a wallet on Polygon, the Base versions were expected to appear in the same wallet address on Base.
• Legacy assets remained visible on Polygon as non-transferable ERC-721s for historical continuity.

What this means for where to use Aavegotchi

• The official entry point for the modern app experience is https://www.aavegotchi.com.
• The Polygon legacy site https://polygon.aavegotchi.com remains relevant for limited legacy interactions while Polygon contracts are frozen.
