Abstract, the EthereumLayer-2 blockchain developed by the team behind Pudgy Penguins, has held its long-awaited mainnet launch – though reactions have so far been mixed.
Ahead of the launch on January 27, there was huge excitement and anticipation within the community for Abstract – with Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, stating that he believed it would “change the dynamic of how users interact with blockchain technology and easily merge both the real and digital worlds.”
Reactions to the Abstract mainnet launch have been mixed. Some have praised its improvements – particularly on the mobile side – whilst others have encountered a myriad of issues.
With this mainnet launch, Abstract users can now earn XP – a form of airdrop point that will count towards a planned token airdrop, set to arrive in the coming months.

What has been the community reaction?
As the Abstract mainnet went live on January 27, many users immediately encountered issues.
These included the lack of contract security scanners, failing RPCs, and the use of Ethereum for paying gas fees. Some even claimed that Abstract lost their funds when trying to use a relayer with the chain – leading one user to state that Abstract “was not ready to be launched.”
With that said, some users were impressed by a few of the improvements delivered by Abstract – particularly on the mobile side. On mobile, Abstract delivers a streamlined in-app experience, meaning that in many cases, users can perform transactions in a natural, straightforward way – without having to switch between apps.
Eyes shifted from Abstract itself to the minting of the first Abstract NFT collections. Two of the most hyped in recent weeks were Bearish and Pixelady Maker. Bearish minted at 0.055 ETH and now has a floor price below 0.05 ETH, whilst Pixelady Maker minted at 0.05 ETH and now sits at 0.039 ETH – drawing frustration from fans.

How do I earn XP on Abstract?
The debut of the Abstract mainnet introduced XP to the chain.
XP is an airdrop points system for the Abstract blockchain. Through interacting with Abstract, users collect Badges which translate into XP.
Each XP point will translate into an allocation of a future Abstract token airdrop, which is set to arrive in the coming months.
