What is Geist?
Initially known as “Gotchichain” during its development, Geist is an ethereum layer-3 gaming chain designed to support gaming applications and offer features that meet the unique needs of the web3 gaming community.
Geist stands out for its membership-only model, which limits access to rewards programs to invited users. This model aims to prevent exploitation by bots and multiple accounts, common challenges in open blockchain networks. Beyond its exclusive membership, Geist is integrated into the Aavegotchi ecosystem, functioning as the main blockchain for Aavegotchi-related games and applications.
Powered by the Arbitrum rollup stack and backed by Alchemy, Geist offers a robust infrastructure with developer tools such as APIs and webhooks. The platform also features an on-chain nft marketplace (Aavegotchi Baazaar) that supports royalty payments.
Geist also offers easy access to $eth and $GHST through integrations with Coinbase, along with advanced transaction capabilities like account abstraction and gasless relayers.
The Polter testnet will launch before the mainnet, allowing for extensive testing of platform features and preparing members for the full launch of Geist.

How to become a member?
Invitations are primarily extended to Aavegotchi nft holders during the initial rollout phase, and each invitation grants access to the platform’s rewards programs, including airdrops, giveaways, and special events.
To become a member, invited users must accept the invitation and complete the steps required to activate their membership.
For non-Aavegotchi nft holders, there will be additional opportunities to apply for membership. Interested users can register on the Geist website and create a commemorative nft on Arbitrum or Base. However, membership is intentionally limited and only a select few applicants will be accepted.
