Abstract is shutting down December 15, 2026: how to move your funds off
Deadline: 15 December 2026 (59 days left) After 15 Dec 2026: Abstract says funds not migrated will be inaccessible; no post-shutdown recovery is promised. Checked against official sources on 18 October 2026.
Abstract (the consumer L2 behind Pudgy Penguins' ecosystem) announced on 6 October 2026 that it is winding down. All users have until 15 December 2026 to migrate assets; Abstract says users who do not migrate by then will lose access to their funds. Official routes are the Migration Hub, the native bridge, and Stargate.
1. The official route (free apart from gas)
Withdraw anything held inside apps (staking, LP, games, marketplaces) back to your wallet first.
Use the official Migration Hub (tokens and NFTs) or the native bridge at native-bridge.abs.xyz. Abstract also lists Stargate. Type addresses yourself.
The native bridge is free apart from gas but withdrawals to Ethereum take up to 24 hours. Keep some ETH on Abstract for gas and move ETH last.
Check receipt on the destination chain, and save transaction records for taxes before explorers go away.
2. Things that catch people out
Abstract Global Wallet (AGW) users: you don't need to connect AGW to anything here. Use the deposit address option below and send from your AGW like a normal transfer, or use the official hub.
Stop sending exchange withdrawals and payments to your Abstract address well before the deadline.
There is no migration airdrop. Ignore anyone who DMs you a "migration" link.
3. A faster route
Relay settles Abstract to Base/Ethereum/Arbitrum in seconds and is currently cheap on this route (it is the same bridge some wallets use). The live quote below shows the exact cost.
