In the month of October, our web3 partner will be migrating Bitverse’s NFT Heroes from the current Immutable X blockchain to a new, more robust Immutable zkEVM blockchain. This transition will require some steps that NFT-owners will need to perform themselves in order to finalize the migration of their NFTs, but we hope to provide what assistance we can through this process.
We will share more detailed steps for this migration soon. However, you can take steps to prepare for this migration now by doing the following:
- Ensure you have access to the Ethereum wallet, such as MetaMask, that holds your NFT Hero. This is the wallet your NFT Hero will return to once it is migrated from the current blockchain.
- You will also need to know how to add the zkEVM network to this Ethereum wallet.
- Create a new Passport wallet at play.immutable.com. A Passport wallet will be required to continue using your NFT Hero on the new blockchain.
- A small amount of $IMX may need to be added to this wallet to cover gas fees related to the migration.
- Ensure you have login access to the Kongregate account for the Basic Hero that is linked to your NFT Hero.
- Use any Bitverse Portals you may have to unlock a new NFT Hero. These portals will not be migrated and will become frozen once the current blockchain is deprecated.
We hope to keep this migration as simple as possible for everyone. We plan to have a future update about this topic detailing the steps required, but please let us know any concerns or questions that you may have, and we will try our best to answer them directly. Also, it’s important to note that some of the things said as a part of this announcement may be updated in a future announcement as we continue to prepare for this. Thank you in advance for your patience during this migration.
