What Galxe Announced
Galxe said on November 9, 2026 that it is winding down Galxe Quest, Galxe ID and Galxe Passport and folding its team and brand into Gravity, the layer-1 blockchain it operates. The company said the move is intended to speed up development and adoption of Gravity L1. According to the company's announcement on X, new campaigns can no longer be created, and new Galxe Passport minting and subscriptions to Galxe+ and Galxe Score have stopped.
Deadlines for Users and Campaign Organizers
Existing campaigns can run until December 5, 2026, when participation ends across the platform. Rewards earned must be claimed by December 15, 2026, after which the Galxe website moves to a read-only state. Read-only means users can view their existing history but can no longer take new actions on the platform. Coverage differs slightly on how much runway this gives: one report described campaign organizers as having less than four weeks to finish ongoing activities, with participants receiving roughly ten days after that to collect rewards.
Infrastructure Shift and Earlier Chain Retirement
The product closures follow a migration of Galxe's core services to Gravity L1, so the retirement is the visible end of an infrastructure change already in progress. Gravity Alpha Mainnet, which ran under chain ID 1625, shut down permanently on November 1, after a bridging window from October 23 to 25. Its replacement, Gravity L1 Mainnet (chain ID 127001), uses Grevm, a parallel EVM execution engine, and is designed to handle over 12,000 transactions per second. That throughput figure is a design target stated by the company rather than a measured result.
Scale and Open Questions on Asset Recovery
Galxe said it has served 36 million users and worked with more than 7,700 partner projects over more than five years. Projects used Quest to reward on-chain and social tasks, while ID and Passport handled identity and credentials. The company said the G token is unaffected: it remains the native utility token and gas token on Gravity L1.
Asset handling on the old network is less settled. The company said user assets remain safe and that a separate claim process will cover balances in Smart Savings (renamed Smart Balance in July, according to Galxe's help center), G tokens left in staking, and tokens in wallets on Gravity Alpha Mainnet. An earlier help-center notice had set October 26 as the shutdown date for the native bridge and G staking interface and warned that balances left on the old network would no longer be transferable. The November 9 statement did not specify how recovery will work or when claims open, and it directed users to its official X account for details.
Why It Matters
For Traders
Holders of G should note the token is unaffected, but anyone with balances on Gravity Alpha Mainnet or in Smart Balance should watch for the claim process details, which have not yet been published.
For Investors
The shift signals Galxe is betting its future on Gravity L1 rather than its campaign business, so the value case now rests on chain adoption and the G token's utility.
For Builders
Projects that relied on Galxe Quest for user rewards or Passport for credentials need to find replacement tooling before the December 5 and December 15 deadlines.
