Abstract is winding down its chain, with shutdown scheduled for December 15, 2026. Assets left on Abstract after that date will be inaccessible, according to Abstract’s announcement. The team says the standalone consumer chain was unsustainable amid limited DeFi, thin liquidity, little institutional crossover, and budget constraints. Igloo CEO Luca Netz says Igloo will focus on Pudgy Penguins, Pudgy NFTs, and PENGU; he also says the team chose not to launch an Abstract token.

Abstract is winding down its chain, with shutdown scheduled for December 15, 2026. Assets left on Abstract after that date will be inaccessible, according to Abstract’s announcement.

To migrate, open the official Migration Hub and connect the wallet that holds your Abstract assets. The Hub lists the native bridge, Stargate, Relay, Jumper, and project-specific instructions for tokens, NFTs, and apps. The announcement also names the Native Bridge, which can take about three hours. Check project-specific instructions for assets or app positions before bridging, and leave time to confirm transfers complete before the deadline.

Use only links cross-checked against Abstract’s official channels; the announcement specifically warns about fake migration sites and impersonation DMs. The available guidance does not specify how every individual token, NFT, or app position will be handled, so follow the relevant project’s migration instructions where provided.
