Last Shuttle Has Left: Galxe's Gravity Alpha Chain Shuts Down

Galxe's Gravity Alpha chain switched off for good on Nov. 1. Anything still parked there stays parked.

Gravity Alpha, the L2 that launched in August 2024 to bring Galxe onchain, has been retired in favor of the new Gravity L1. The exit ran in stages: stablecoins and ETH via Stargate before Oct. 23, the official bridge offline Oct. 26, lights out Nov. 1. Assets left behind, per Gravity, "cannot be transferred."

G staking on Galxe was sunset on the way out, and quest rewards now only count G on the new L1. Leftover G on Alpha shows up as "insufficient," even though it's technically still yours.

Gravity's farewell describes Alpha as "a live environment to process production traffic and identify execution bottlenecks."

Two years as mainnet, rebranded as a stress test after the fact. You were the traffic.
