Aavegotchi Abandons Polygon for Ethereum-Based Future

Aavegotchi Gaming NFTs Votes to Ditch Polygon for Base

In a surprise move, Aavegotchi, a popular gaming NFT project, has announced that it will be abandoning its current blockchain, Polygon, in favor of a new home on the Base blockchain.

According to a statement released by the Aavegotchi team, the decision was made after a community-wide vote, in which a majority of voters chose to make the switch. The move is expected to bring significant changes to the project, including improved scalability and lower costs for users.

"We're thrilled to be making this move and can't wait to see what the future holds for Aavegotchi on Base," said the project's lead developer, in a statement. "Our community has spoken, and we're committed to delivering the best possible experience for our users."

Aavegotchi has been one of the most successful NFT projects in the gaming space, with a dedicated community of collectors and players. The project's decision to switch blockchains is seen as a significant development in the increasingly competitive NFT market.

The move is also seen as a blow to Polygon, which has been a popular choice for NFT projects in recent years. The blockchain has been praised for its scalability and low costs, but has also faced criticism for its high gas fees and environmental impact.

Aavegotchi's decision to switch to Base is expected to have a significant impact on the project's users and the wider NFT community. The move is expected to bring improved performance and lower costs for users, and could potentially pave the way for other NFT projects to make the switch.

The exact timeline for the switch is still unclear, but the Aavegotchi team has promised to keep the community updated on its progress. In the meantime, users can expect to see significant changes to the project's infrastructure and user experience.
