# Forma to shut down as NFTs move to Ethereum and TIA to Eden Author: Hatice Ertaş Language: English Published: 2026-10-24T09:36:41+03:00 Updated: 2026-10-24T09:36:41+03:00 ![Glass art panels and tokens on diverging metal rails, with a violet Ethereum symbol behind them.](https://kriptometa.com/uploads/forma-kapaniyor-nft-ler-ethereum-a-tia-eden-e-tasinacak-00f7e9c2ec76_article.webp) ## Key takeaways - Block 34,567,890 will trigger the shutdown; November 5 is an estimate rather than a fixed calendar deadline. - The team will snapshot remaining TIA after the halt and move it to Eden, retaining users’ wallet addresses. - NFTs will not be automatically airdropped. Holders will need to claim through the relaunched Modularium website. Forma will halt its mainnet at block 34,567,890, expected around November 5. The team plans to migrate remaining TIA balances to Eden and NFTs to Ethereum. Forma, a blockchain built for art and digital collectibles, has set the final block for its mainnet and named the destinations for users’ assets. In its [October 22 announcement](https://x.com/Formachain/status/2113385579555495982), the team said the network would halt at block 34,567,890, expected around November 5, 2026. Remaining TIA balances will move to Eden, while [NFTs](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/nft) and the Modularium platform will migrate to Ethereum mainnet. The notice was published at 21:42 UTC on October 22, or 00:42 in Türkiye on October 23. At that point, Forma said users had roughly two weeks to withdraw before the halt. The team had announced its decision to close in July; it has now specified an estimated date, a final block and the destination for TIA. ## The final block determines when Forma stops Forma will stop the network when it reaches block 34,567,890. The team has not given an exact time. After the halt, the team will record the accounts and balances at the final block in a snapshot and migrate TIA that users have not withdrawn. In its [July shutdown announcement](https://x.com/Formachain/status/2081046187570798955), Forma urged users to withdraw through the official Forma [bridge](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/blockchain-bridge), which transfers assets between networks. It said unwithdrawn funds would be moved to an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chain to be named later. The team named Eden as the destination in October. Forma’s separate plans for TIA and NFTs | Asset | Destination | Access condition | |---|---|---| | TIA remaining on Forma | Eden | Withdrawals from the same wallet address after the post-halt snapshot and migration are complete. | | Forma NFTs | Ethereum mainnet | Holders must claim through the relaunched Modularium website; there will be no automatic airdrop. | ## The same address on a different network Forma and Eden are separate EVM-compatible networks. The team says users will retain their [wallet addresses](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/wallet-address) on Eden and will be able to withdraw TIA there once the migration is complete. According to [Eden’s developer documentation](https://docs.eden.zone/), Eden uses the Evolve stack and publishes transaction data to Celestia. Eden runs its own execution environment, while Celestia provides consensus and [data availability](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/data-availability). Users pay Eden [transaction fees](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/gas-network-fees) in its native token, TIA. The balances transferred from Forma will also remain in TIA. In its [October 16 introduction](https://x.com/celestia/status/2111054730038583485), Celestia described Eden as an EVM network it uses to experiment with commerce conducted by AI agents. ## NFT holders will need to claim on Modularium The team will move the NFTs representing artworks to Ethereum mainnet and run Modularium on the same network. It will not automatically send NFTs to holders’ wallets. Collectors will need to claim their NFTs through the relaunched Modularium website. Forma said in July that it was working directly with artists to preserve their work. Under the team’s plan, migrated NFTs will be tradable on [OpenSea](https://kriptometa.com/en/opensea-review) and other Ethereum marketplaces, with Modularium remaining a home for the collections. Forma has not announced when claims will open, a claim deadline or the new contract addresses. **Separate completion notices will follow.** Forma says the moves could take a few days after the network stops. The team will announce completion of each migration separately and publish further instructions in the following weeks. It has not given a firm completion date. Forma’s official post sets out the estimated date, final block and NFT claim requirement: [Forma’s official shutdown timetable](https://x.com/Formachain/status/2113385579555495982) ## A closure decision first announced in July In a six-post statement on July 25, Forma said running the chain was no longer sustainable. Developers had been working on self-service tools and other improvements for Modularium. The team did not disclose its operating costs or revenue. > “operating the chain is no longer sustainable” Forma team, statement published on July 25, 2026. A [technical post dated May 29, 2025](https://blog.forma.art/introducing-the-palette-hard-fork/) records Forma’s mainnet launch as May 28, 2024. Its [project documentation](https://docs.forma.art/learn/overview-of-forma) describes an art-focused rollup built using Astria and Celestia. Custom EVM functions for NFT minting and distribution, along with onchain artwork metadata, were among the tools offered to developers. The July statement also said user funds and NFTs were safe.
