For anything you still hold then, see what happens at the Withdrawal Pause.

Withdrawals and redemptions pause at the daily reset on Sunday, November 15, 2026, 18:00 UTC (the Withdrawal Pause). From then on you can't withdraw on the Withdraw page, or redeem Hard Cores or claim Event Deals on the Redeem page.

• Hard Cores: Hard Core redemption ends at the Withdrawal Pause, so turn them into Hard Core boxes in the Core Deals before then.
• Holiday gift boxes and Hard Core boxes: any you haven't opened by then are opened for you, and the USDC they pay out is converted to Gigabit right away, like in-game USDC.
• In-game USDCUSDCRelicCurrencyRedeemable for 1 USDCItem#663: it doesn't exist in Gigaverse Online, so any you still hold then is converted to Gigabit at 1 USDC = 100 Gigabit. In-game USDC withdrawals end at the Withdrawal Pause and don't reopen. Withdrawing Gigabit comes with fees; to avoid them, withdraw your in-game USDC 1:1 on the Withdraw page before the Withdrawal Pause.
• GigabitGigabitGigaCurrencyA pure currency used all throughout the Gigaverse that can be dissolved into USDC.Item#717: nothing changes; it stays in your balance.

• Other boxes: boxes without USDC rewards aren't opened for you. You can still open them on the Boxes page.

• In-progress hatches paused at the Burn Pit close. Eggs that were ready could be hatched until the close.
• Hatching will resume later in a simplified form. Paused hatches keep the progress recorded at the Burn Pit close, and Eggspeditors will still speed them up. More details to follow.
• If you were Juiced at the Burn Pit close, your Biofuel and Incubes were automatically converted back into the resources they were made from (wood, coal, bone, fiber and stone) and burned in the Burn Pit for you, in those categories. No action was needed. This added to the final amounts burned in those categories.
• Faction dust, wood, coal, fiber, stone and bone could still be used in Hard Cores deals until the close.

• Gigaverse closed: Friday, October 9, 2026, 18:00 UTC
• Withdrawals and redemptions pause: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 18:00 UTC

• Gigaverse paused at the close. Gigling Racing (Racing, Dueling and hatching) returns later, simplified and rebalanced so new players can pick it up, and your Racing items stay in your Racing Saddlebag until then.
• Read this FAQ, open Your Temporal Backup, add a new wallet there if you play with an Abstract Global Wallet, and add an email if you'd like to hear about updates.
• The Redeem page is open. The Hall of Noobs is open: visit the Awakening Wing.
• The Awakening prize pool is live: see what happens to Hard Cores.

• Dungeons, fishing and conquest.
• Feeding, faction changes, and earning Hard Cores from bounties and deals.
• Hatching, from the Burn Pit close.
• Juice sales. Juice you already bought paused at the close and will stay paused until the launch of Gigaverse Online.
• New accounts, Noob minting, Name minting and card checkout for Noobs.
• Gigling Racing (Racing, Dueling and hatching).
• Trading on the ETH marketplace, for good.
• Exports and imports (already paused).

We returned items from unfinished marketplace listings and exports to your inventory before the close. Any Eternal items among them are in Your Temporal Backup.

The marketplace returns later as a Gigabit-only market, where you buy and sell items for Gigabit.

• Listed Eternal items could be bought until the close. Unsold listings were then paused, and the Temporal Backup Process™ scanned their items as the seller's. Seasonal items still listed at the close can't be delisted, used or redeemed.
• The ETH marketplace stays closed. Eternal and Racing items in its unsold listings will be returned to your inventory.

We've claimed every remaining leaderboard medal for you. Medals for the final week are claimed for you after the close.

Turn your Hard Cores into Hard Core boxes in the Core Deals on the Redeem page, then open them on the Boxes page for USDC from The Awakening prize pool and prize items. Hard Core redemption ends at the Withdrawal Pause; see what happens at the Withdrawal Pause.
