Bitizens is moving to TRON

We are migrating the game to TRON — here’s what you need to know

Greetings, Guildmates!

As the end of the year approaches, some big changes are coming to Bitizens — all with the purpose of creating a better experience for you and the community that we all love. Along with the changes, we’ve got some exciting new content for you to enjoy. So stay tuned!

After much deliberation, the Bitizens team has decided to migrate the game to the TRON network. In the meantime, the game will be offline until it is fully migrated.

Why the move to TRON?

It is safe to say that BitGuild would not exist without the Ethereum network. When we first started this project, Ethereum’s innovations in smart contracts and decentralized applications made it possible for us to become what we are today. But the crypto industry is fast evolving, led by new technologies and platforms that are better at resolving specific issues and meeting the needs of the growing crypto community.

As interest in dApps grew, so did Ethereum’s scalability challenges: congestion issues, long waiting times, high gas fees, and poor stability. This had led users to lose interest in ETH-based games and other dApps. At the same time, a new platform was emerging that aimed to solve many of these problems. TRON offers fast transaction times and extremely low transaction fees — which can even be paid with bandwidth by freezing TRX. The TRON Virtual Machine has made it easier than ever to develop and scale new dApps. All of this has resulted in a large community of highly engaged TRX holders that are excited to create and use TRON-powered applications.

Now that TRON has successfully launched its own MainNet, it makes sense for us to migrate Bitizens to it. When that happens, Bitizens will become the first major game on the TRON network and ultimately pave the way for more games to become part of the ecosystem. Though this may seem like a big change for current Bitizens players, we will be here to make the transition as smooth and painless as possible.

So what’s next for Bitizens?

If you’re an IGO item holder, worry not. Our team will migrate your items to TRON, and you will receive an email that lists the steps necessary to view your items in our new wallet extension. IGO items will also be available for purchase with TRX, and in honor of this new era for Bitizens, we’ll be adding a new item for purchase: a TRON set.

To celebrate the migration to TRON, we’ll be hosting a special winter holiday event! Keep an eye out for full details soon.
