Geist (historical)
Last updated on by
Geist (also referred to as Gotchichain in some announcements) was announced as an Aavegotchi gaming chain concept. It ultimately did not launch, and Aavegotchi’s canonical home migrated to Base on 2025-07-25.
For current chain/network information, see: Migration to Base (2025), Contracts, and GHST Token.
TL;DR
- Geist was described as a gaming-focused chain concept with GHST as a gas token, memberships, and ecosystem rewards.
- Geist ultimately did not launch; Aavegotchi later migrated to Base.
What Was Announced (Historical Summary)
The Geist announcement described (at the time) a chain concept focused on:
- Fast blocks and gaming UX.
- A chain-wide membership program and reward campaigns across games.
- Native marketplace support for Aavegotchi assets.
- Onramps, account abstraction / smart wallets, and developer tooling.
Because chain roadmaps and implementations can change, treat these as historical notes, not present-tense guarantees.
