Gigaverse on AbstractChain: A New Era for Onchain RPGs Begins

Gigaverse is a fully onchain RPG built on Abstract Chain, where players explore dungeons, craft gear, and collect resources, all while maintaining true ownership of their in-game assets. Developed by GLHF, a decentralized studio blending crypto-native innovation with veteran game development experience, Gigaverse stands out as a player-first ecosystem, where both casual players and Web3 enthusiasts can find value and entertainment.

Simple Gameplay with Strategic Depth

At its core, Gigaverse embraces the charm of casual, pick-up-and-play gameplay, but with enough depth to keep players engaged for the long haul. Players control their Giga Hero, battling enemies using the Sword, Shield, and Magic (SSM) system — a simple but strategic rock-paper-scissors mechanic that determines the outcome of battles.

Each dungeon run is quick, taking less than 10 minutes, making it an ideal game for both quick sessions and extended play. Players earn Scrap, a crucial resource needed to level up their hero, and those who own ROM NFTs gain additional energy for even more daily runs.

The Evolving Gigaverse Experience

Though the game is already live, Gigaverse is still in its early stages, with new mechanics and features continuously added. Crafting (live since 07/03/2025) allows players to craft and customize gear using materials earned in dungeons. This system not only enhances individual characters but also creates a thriving player-driven economy where materials, crafted items, and rare gear all be tradable on onchain marketplaces like Magic Eden.

The PvP arena, shared lobbies, and even fishing mechanics are also in development.

Dungeon Strategy: Mastering the Basics

The gameplay goes beyond simple combat. Players must carefully manage HP (health) and SHD (shield), with SHD absorbing damage first, and HP only recovering after battles. Winning encounters grants resources and materials to upgrade equipment, making each successful dungeon run a step toward a more powerful hero.

Another layer of strategy comes from the AP (Action Points) system. Repeatedly using the same skill depletes its AP, locking it for two turns and forcing players to adapt their strategy on the fly.

Economy and Accessibility

One of Gigaverse’s strengths is its low barrier to entry. New players can mint a soul-bound Giga Hero for just 0.00369 ETH, making it accessible to a wide audience. While owning a ROM NFT isn’t required, it provides valuable in-game perks such as extra daily energy and access to rarer materials.

Despite fluctuations in ROM floor prices (ranging between 0.05 and 0.09 ETH), the number of ROM holders remains steady at around 3,800, showing strong community loyalty. This stable holder base, combined with the influx of new players, helps maintain a healthy in-game economy.

Gigus Faction & Gigus Mode

One particularly rare subset of ROMs, the Gigus ROMs, offer unique benefits. With only 340 Gigus ROMs in existence, they produce rotating faction materials, making them highly coveted. Gigus ROM owners can also access Gigus Mode, a high-risk, high-reward gameplay mode where Scraps don’t drop, but higher-tier materials do, perfect for players focused on crafting the best gear possible.

XP Gain & Abstract Chain Integration

Playing Gigaverse doesn’t just advance your hero, it also contributes directly to your weekly XP gains on Abstract Chain. This cross-platform integration rewards active players, aligning personal progression with the broader health of the Abstract ecosystem.Players may also have the chance to claim the exclusive Abstract Badge, a special collectible tied to participation in the ecosystem.
