In Brief:
- ROM trading has gone live in the Gigamarket, letting Gigaverse players buy and sell their NFTs without leaving the game.
- Both ETH and GIGABIT, the studio’s own currency, can now be used to trade ROMs.
- The update is designed to strengthen the in-game economy and simplify deals while cutting dependence on outside NFT marketplaces.
Gigaverse launches ROM trading in Gigamarket
With ROM trading now open inside the Gigamarket, Gigaverse players can handle ROM purchases and sales without ever leaving the game. The rollout brings dual-currency support to the table, meaning trades can settle in either ETH or GIGABIT. Pulling ROM commerce in-house is meant to smooth out friction and give the player-driven economy a boost.
A closer look at ROMs
Within Gigaverse, ROMs stand as the game’s core collectible assets. Every ROM behaves like a resource factory, churning out materials each week according to its tier. The set spans 10,000 unique NFTs, and rather than granting direct combat perks, ROMs feed into strategic play. At present the floor price sits around 127 USD and the market cap lands close to 1.27 million USD, backed by roughly 2,831 unique owners. More recent changes broadened what ROMs can do, folding their output into the breeding systems tied to the game’s pet-racing creatures.
Gigamarket features
Acting as Gigaverse’s built-in marketplace, the Gigamarket handles trading of in-game goods such as gear and consumables. More than 250,000 items have already exchanged hands since it went live, a clear signal of demand. A recent web integration opened the door to off-game trading, making the platform easier to reach. Folding in ROMs alongside GIGABIT support pushes the Gigamarket toward becoming a fuller economic hub.
Understanding GIGABIT
Introduced on February 18, 2026, GIGABIT is a cross-platform currency built to address price swings and economic fragmentation across blockchain gaming. It sells at a fixed rate of 100 GIGABIT per 1 USD. Engineered for stability, the currency lets players move value smoothly between networks without taking on speculative risk. GIGABIT sits at the heart of many in-game systems and, by supporting fiat purchases, helps make the game more welcoming to newcomers.
Operational infrastructure of Gigaverse
Gigaverse runs as a browser-based RPG on the Abstract chain and uses a Proof of Play model. Its design keeps things simple across three core loops — Dungeons, Crafting, and Fishing — pairing approachable gameplay with genuine stakes. Combat leans on a rock-paper-scissors structure that keeps it easy to pick up. To begin, players link an Abstract Global Wallet and set off with resource generation already built in.
Future outlook with Gigaverse 1.0
Both ROM trading and GIGABIT are key pillars of the Gigaverse 1.0 push, which centers on durable economic systems and future improvements. The team has kept its community close through efforts such as GIGATHON 1 and its recurring GigaGod events. Now that ROMs and GIGABIT are woven into its economy, Gigaverse looks poised to strengthen its foothold in the crypto gaming sector.
