7-Day Unbonding Period Countdown: Galxe Urges Withdrawal of G-Staked Assets

On October 19, 2026, Galxe, a Web3 credential and identity network, announced that as the Gravity Alpha mainnet enters an orderly decommissioning phase, the platform has fully migrated the vast majority of its core credentials and cross-chain settlement services to the native Gravity Layer 1 (L1) network. Given that the smart contract staking/unbonding and fund withdrawal mechanisms feature a built-in 7-day unbonding waiting period, on-chain users holding G token staking positions and Smart Savings balances must complete manual redemptions before the deadline of 11:00 on October 26, 2026 (UTC+8). Failure to meet this deadline will result in the permanent shutdown of the legacy staking interface, leaving unwithdrawn funds subject to severe restrictions such as asset immobilization or irreversible lockouts.

Mainnet Migration and Transition Milestones Amid Gravity Architecture Generational Shifts
As the largest credential data and user activity network in the Web3 space, Galxe has been progressively advancing the strategic restructuring of its underlying blockchain infrastructure over the past year. The previously launched Gravity Alpha mainnet served as a testing environment for early exploration and high-throughput settlement, validating the engineering feasibility of cross-chain intent settlement and zero-knowledge credential verification. With the fully independent Gravity Layer 1 native mainnet now operating smoothly, the platform's migration efforts for key modules—including decentralized identity credentials, multi-chain cross-chain relays, and smart execution—have largely been completed.
Against the backdrop of infrastructure achieving a generational leap, the decommissioning of the legacy operating environment becomes an inevitable step in technological evolution. The gradual shutdown of the historic Gravity Alpha mainnet means that staking contracts, yield aggregation pools, and underlying interaction routes originally built upon this testing environment will no longer receive official client support. To ensure the secure and smooth transition of assets from legacy contracts to the new Layer 1 ecosystem, the official team has established a clear shutdown window to formally close out the historical states of the old system.
Seven-Day Unbonding Lockout Compels Immediate Liquidity Withdrawal Response
The core factor creating direct time pressure on user assets in this official announcement lies in the cooling-off period embedded within the original G token staking smart contract.
Under the existing staking design, after a user initiates an unstaking request, the on-chain contract requires a full 7-day fund lockup and security buffer period before executing the final withdrawal. The system's designated shutdown time is 11:00 on October 26, 2026 (UTC+8). Counting from the announcement's release on October 19, there is exactly 7 days remaining until the final shutdown node. This means that any user who has not yet initiated an unstaking operation must submit their unstake command immediately on the day of the announcement; any delay will cause the 7-day waiting period to overshoot the critical threshold of October 26. At that point, the G token staking frontend and contract interfaces will go offline officially, and users failing to redeem on time will face highly complex subsequent remediation efforts or costly direct smart contract interactions.
Irreversible Immobilization of Smart Savings and On-Chain Asset Redemption Guidelines
Beyond standard staking positions, the Smart Savings module operating on the legacy environment also faces highly stringent time-sensitive constraints.
According to official rules, if Smart Savings users fail to complete manual fund withdrawals or autonomous migrations before the October 26 deadline, their remaining capital shares in the Smart Savings pool will be automatically aggregated by the system and transferred to the platform's "Smart Balance." Users should exercise particular caution: within the Galxe system, Smart Balance constitutes an application-type account exclusively intended for internal ecosystem spending and network fee deductions. Once funds are forcibly converted by the system, it will be impossible to initiate further on-chain reverse withdrawals to external wallets. This rigid rule subjects still-unprocessed holdings to the hard risk of directly losing fiat and on-chain liquidity.
For users holding relevant positions, the immediate priority is to log into the official Galxe interaction dashboard to verify personal unbonded G token shares and Smart Savings balances within the Gravity Alpha environment. Stakers should submit unstaking applications immediately to start the countdown, and execute withdrawal operations to recover assets within the pre-shutdown time window after the full 7 days have elapsed; savings users must complete manual redemptions or migrate to the mainnet before the deadline to prevent their assets from falling into an irredeemable, one-way circulation state.
