Geist is a new L3 powered by Base, Arbitrum, Alchemy, and Aavegotchi.

Geist is built to be the onchain home of Aavegotchi, the Aavegotchi Gaming Console, and all of our official and community-built games. Games or dapps that include Aavegotchi elements (tokens, NFTs, tooling, lore) will be prioritized for deployment.

Features

Geist is built using the cutting-edge Arbitrum stack, the leading rollup chain stack for crypto gaming. Standard benefits of the Arbitrum stack such as <250ms block time, custom gas token (GHST), and permissionless transacting all apply.

Here’s what sets Geist apart:

  • A chain-wide membership program. Geist Members will enjoy exclusive access to reward campaigns across all games on the chain. Non-members can still transact and play games on the chain, but will miss out on many of the benefits.

  • World-class Uptime and the Complete Developer Platform. Powered by Alchemy, the leader in blockchain infrastructure, Geist offers high uptime and familiar developer tools such as Token API, Transaction API, and Webhooks.

  • Native NFT Marketplace. Geist supports the Aavegotchi Baazaar, a fully onchain NFT marketplace with royalties enabled.

  • CEX Onramps. Geist is collaborating closely with Coinbase and other CEXes to allow for ETH and GHST onramps.

  • Native VRF. Geist supports a native onchain random number generator (VRF) developed by Pixelcraft Studios, allowing game developers to deliver provable randomness to their players.

  • Account Abstraction and Gasless Relayers. Geist supports the latest in account abstraction, smart wallets, and gasless transactions, powered by Thirdweb.

  • Native Staking with revenue sharing. Pending a future AavegotchiDAO proposal, Geist will support staking GHST to earn a portion of both marketplace and sequencer fees.

  • Permissioned contract deployment. To prevent network congestion and ensure quality control.

Polter Testnet

The Polter Testnet, the official testnet of Geist, is the testing ground for all Aavegotchi asset migrations and features.
