Outputs

  1. Galxe winds down Quest, ID and Passport; campaigns end 5 December 2026 and claims close 15 December 2026

  2. The products served 36 million users and over 7,700 partner projects

  3. G token unchanged, trading at $0.00302 with a $21.9 million market cap, down 71.4% from its 20 September high

  4. New campaign creation, Galxe+ and Score subscriptions and Passport mints stopped on 9 November 2026

  5. Staked G and Smart Savings balances will follow a separate claim process with no published dates

Galxe is shutting down the three products that built its name. The company announced on 9 November 2026 that Galxe Quest, Galxe ID and Galxe Passport will wind down, with campaigns ending on 5 December, reward claims closing on 15 December and the entire website switching to read-only mode at that point. The announcement, published on Galxe's official account at 06:38 UTC, puts the products' combined reach at 36 million users and more than 7,700 partner projects.

Gravity, the layer-1 chain Galxe built, stays open. The G token keeps its role as the chain's native asset. G traded at $0.00302 on 11 November against a $21.9 million market capitalization, 71.4% below its 20 September daily high of $0.01056.

"Galxe is consolidating its team and brand under Gravity to accelerate the development and adoption of Gravity L1," the announcement reads. "As part of this consolidation, we will wind down Galxe Quest, Galxe ID, Galxe Passport, and related services. Gravity will continue operating as usual, with no changes to the G token as part of this transition."

What already stopped on 9 November?

The first cuts took effect on announcement day, not at the December deadlines. Spaces can no longer create new campaigns. New Galxe+ and Galxe Score subscriptions stopped. So did new Galxe Passport mints.

That ordering matters for anyone running growth activations. A project that never launched a Galxe campaign cannot start one now, whatever its budget. The remaining weeks are a closing window for campaigns already live, not a final stretch of new production.

The documentation hasn't caught up, either. As of 11 November, the Galxe homepage still marketed Passport as a live identity product and still advertised the Score reputation system. The announcement controls. The marketing copy lags.

Three dates that decide what users keep

The wind-down runs on three clocks:

  • 9 November 2026: Spaces lost campaign creation; new Galxe+ and Score subscriptions and Passport mints stopped.
  • 5 December 2026: last day to participate in any campaign. "No campaigns will remain active after that date," the post states.
  • 15 December 2026: reward claims close and the site becomes read-only.

Measured from 11 November, users have 24 days to finish campaign activity and 34 days to pull out rewards. The announcement attaches no time of day to either cut-off, so 15 December should be treated as ending at 23:59 UTC rather than as a full extra day. Read-only means archive, not revival. Rewards stop accruing. New credentials stop being issuable.

What happens to staked G and Smart Savings?

This is where the announcement runs thinnest. "User assets remain safe, including Smart Savings balances, staked G that has not yet been withdrawn, and G tokens held in wallets on Gravity Alpha Mainnet," the post says. Then comes a qualification, not a schedule: assets "will follow a separate claim process and timeline," with details promised in a follow-up announcement on Galxe's official X account.

As of 11 November there is no published claim date, no word on whether claims must come from the holding wallet, no export path for Passport data, and no answer on whether rewards left unclaimed after 15 December stay recoverable. Compare that with Acala and Karura, whose shutdown proposals carried a dated ladder accounting for every unbonding period. Galxe's campaign calendar is that specific. Its asset calendar is not yet.

What does the token's structure tell holders?

Gravity is a proof-of-stake layer 1 with an EVM runtime, claiming more than one gigagas per second of throughput, sub-second finality and over 25 million ecosystem users. G pays gas, carries governance weight and serves as the network's native asset. Structurally, Galxe keeps the settlement layer and drops the consumer application that fed it.

The market had largely priced the exit before the post went up. G's 9 November close of $0.00293 was the 90-day low, yet it bounced 2.6% to $0.00301 the next day. Daily volume of $4.20 million against a $21.87 million cap means 19.2% of capitalization changes hands daily, a rate that belongs to a token in play, not one being wound up. Fully diluted value sits at $36.29 million across 12 billion tokens, with 7.23 billion, or 60.3%, circulating.

One trap for aggregators: the legacy GAL ticker still shows a $57.16 million market cap at $0.447. That is a data artifact. Holders migrated to G on Ethereum and BNB Chain in February 2026, and GAL's recorded 24-hour volume is $8.01. Eight dollars.

For G holders, the variable is substitution, not shutdown. Nothing in the announcement says how much of Gravity's activity came from Galxe Quest, so the replacement demand can't be sized yet. Watch for the follow-up claim instructions, the 5 December campaign cutoff, and the 15 December read-only switch, when integrators gating access on Passport credentials must decide whether to keep accepting credentials no issuer will refresh.
