# Geist Network Deprecation Notice

> Important notice regarding the deprecation of the Geist network and API

## ⚠️ Deprecation Notice

**The Geist network has been officially deprecated and is no longer supported.**

Effective immediately, all Geist network services are being phased out, including JSON-RPC API endpoints and network infrastructure.

## Migration options

We strongly recommend migrating to **Base**, as the Aavegotchi ecosystem (Geist's primary use case) has officially moved there following a community vote.

**Recommended:**
* **[Base](/docs/reference/base-api-quickstart)**: Primary recommendation - where Aavegotchi and the gaming ecosystem have migrated

**Alternative options:**
* **[Arbitrum](/docs/reference/arbitrum-api-quickstart)**: The underlying framework that powered Geist
* **[Polygon](/docs/reference/polygon-pos-api-quickstart)**: For other gaming and NFT applications
* **[Ethereum](/docs/reference/ethereum-api-quickstart)**: For scalable Ethereum applications

## Next steps

1. Choose an alternative network for your application
2. Update your API endpoints and configuration
3. Contact support through the [Alchemy Dashboard](https://dashboard.alchemy.com) if you need assistance
