Aavegotchi Officially Leaves Polygon, Joins Base

The Aavegotchi team has announced the completion of its migration from the Polygon blockchain to Base, signaling the end of its multi-year deployment on Polygon. This transition repositions Base as the new home for Aavegotchi’s assets, smart contracts, gameplay, and DAO governance.

All smart contracts on Polygon have been frozen, and Aavegotchi’s ecosystem now functions exclusively on Base going forward.

Why Base Was Chosen

The decision to migrate wasn’t arbitrary. According to the announcement, four key factors drove the move:

Infrastructure Scalability: Base offers a more robust technical foundation capable of supporting Aavegotchi’s shift from a gamified NFT project to a full-fledged onchain protocol.
Simplified User Onboarding: With the new Base app (formerly Coinbase Wallet), users can access the Aavegotchi universe with reduced friction and better self-custody.
Ethereum Alignment: Unlike other chains, Base does not introduce its own token, which allows Aavegotchi to remain aligned with Ethereum’s core values.
Cultural Fit: Base encourages experimentation and composability—traits that have defined Aavegotchi’s approach since its inception.

What the Migration Means for Users

With the move complete, Aavegotchi assets such as NFTs, wearables, and gameplay items have been mirrored to Base via snapshot and minting. Most users don’t need to take any action—assets should appear in their Base wallets automatically.

Polygon tokens remain visible as non-transferable ERC-721s for reference.
REALM Parcels and in-game items like Installations and Alchemica are expected to migrate in a later phase.
GHST token holders are encouraged to migrate to Base, as DAO voting will soon be restricted to GHST on Base only.

For those who held assets in contracts like Gotchi Vault or Gnosis Safes, the team has replicated those holdings to equivalent addresses on Base. Any issues can be resolved through support tickets in the Aavegotchi Discord.

What’s Next for Aavegotchi on Base

Now based on Base, Aavegotchi is preparing to launch new projects including Gotchi Guardians, DAO infrastructure, and expanded community tools. The migration also aligns with ongoing efforts to expand GHST liquidity and Base-native integrations.

While it’s a significant shift, the team maintains that this is part of a broader move toward a more scalable, decentralized, and Ethereum-aligned ecosystem.
