Aavegotchi Game Decides to Switch from Polygon to Coinbase’s Base

Aavegotchi DAO has overwhelmingly approved migrating its ecosystem to Base with a staggering 93% of votes in favor. This decision comes after Polygon’s Total Value Locked (TVL) fell sharply from nearly $10 billion in 2021 to less than $740 million now. Meanwhile, Base’s TVL has skyrocketed since early 2024, indicating a significant shift in user engagement.

The aim of this migration is to enhance user experiences and facilitate better marketplace access through Coinbase. All Aavegotchi NFTs, wearables, game assets, and smart contracts will be cloned and re-launched on Base, while assets on Polygon will stay frozen and only viewable to prevent any transfers or changes.

This strategic move comes amid a decline in user activity on Polygon, where daily active addresses have plummeted from approximately 1.3 million to 550,000 over the past year. Conversely, Base has seen its daily active addresses more than double, reaching nearly 900,000.

This transition is projected to be finalized in four to six weeks, marking a new chapter for the Aavegotchi ecosystem.
