HYTOPIA is Migrating to Base Blockchain

HYTOPIA has announced the launch of a new ecosystem token, $HYBUX, as part of a broader strategy to enhance platform functionality and economic sustainability. The introduction of the token includes a 2:1 airdrop for all existing $TOPIA holders, requiring them to withdraw liquidity from current staking contracts and move tokens into self-custodied wallets to be eligible. The announcement was made on July 15, 2025, and aligns with HYTOPIA’s long-term vision to strengthen its token economy and technical foundation.

According to Juice, HYTOPIA will migrate its operations to Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2 blockchain network. The shift is being coordinated by the newly established HY Foundation, a Cayman Islands-based entity responsible for managing the token migration and supporting the platform’s ongoing development.

The move to Base is expected to provide improved tooling, greater liquidity depth, and a restructured staking system. HYTOPIA will discontinue its current LP staking structure and reintroduce it on Base, allowing for continued rewards while aligning with the new framework.

Airdrop and Staking Requirements

To receive the $HYBUX airdrop, $TOPIA holders must withdraw their liquidity from the current pools and ensure tokens are stored in wallets they control. HYTOPIA has confirmed that all accrued staking rewards under the previous system will still be honored during the transition. This step is part of an effort to simplify participation and ensure a fair distribution of the new token under updated network conditions.

$HYBUX Tokenomics and Utility

The $HYBUX token will launch with an initial supply of 10 billion units. It will support non-expiring staking rewards and serve as a central asset for multiple platform functions. These include usage within HYTOPIA’s in-game marketplace, integration with NFTs, and support for node incentives. Marketplace revenue will be directed toward funding staking rewards and promoting content through creator endorsement programs. Specific details on the token snapshot, which will determine airdrop eligibility, have not yet been announced.

Platform Developments and Future Outlook

The decision to transition to Base comes as HYTOPIA continues to grow its creator ecosystem. The platform, known for its voxel-based game engine, supports AI-assisted no-code development and real-time multiplayer publishing, with available tools accessible through both web and desktop environments. This growth underpins the need for a more scalable and flexible economic model.

HYTOPIA co-founder ArkDev stated that the new token is intended to support a growing ecosystem, with a focus on long-term value rather than short-term expansion. He noted that the shift is aimed at enriching the ecosystem in a sustainable way. The team plans to release further information in the coming weeks regarding the timing of the snapshot, token distribution, and staking updates.
