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