Gigaverse has released a significant update as part of its ongoing development cycle, introducing two new features aimed at improving gameplay and user engagement. The latest additions, Giga Juice and ReferFI, arrive just one week after the launch of the Underhaul dungeon, further demonstrating the project’s consistent rollout of new content. These changes offer both practical gameplay enhancements and expanded earning opportunities within the gigaverse ecosystem. Here is a summarized version of dancerr's great breakdown on X (twitter).
Gigaverse Major Updates: Giga Juice and ReferFI
About Gigaverse
The core principles of Gigaverse are centered on creating an enjoyable and accessible experience for players. The game encourages players to take risks within its expansive universe, with the possibility of earning rewards for their efforts. The development team has emphasized that the gameplay will be easy to understand, making it accessible to both experienced RPG players and newcomers to on-chain gaming.
Gigaverse will also evolve over time, with new features being added regularly to keep the experience fresh and engaging. The game’s visual aesthetics draw inspiration from classic RPGs, aiming to evoke a sense of nostalgia while still appealing to modern players with its updated design.

Giga Juice Expands Gameplay Capabilities
Giga Juice, now available through a new vending machine station in the game, acts as an in-game battle pass offering a range of time-based options. Players can select durations that span from one week to 180 days, with pricing adjusted accordingly. The lowest cost option is approximately $1.07 per day, while the longest-term pass brings the daily rate down to around $0.39. These pricing structures were detailed by Gigaverse X (Twitter) creator PxPaws, who analyzed the cost-efficiency of each tier.
Once activated, Giga Juice immediately expands the player’s energy capacity, raising daily energy from 240 to 420 by increasing the hourly regeneration rate from 10 to 17.5. This adjustment allows players, particularly those without ROMs, to complete a significantly greater portion of available dungeon runs each day, moving from roughly 60 percent to nearly 85 percent. Additionally, players can now perform high intensity runs, which consume three times the energy and yield triple the rewards. To support this feature, the cap on daily dungeon runs has increased to 12 for standard dungeons and 9 for the Underhaul.

Energy Expenditure and ROMs
An important detail is that while energy expenditure triples during high intensity runs, the use of potions does not, allowing for more efficient use of resources. Alongside these gameplay enhancements, a new quality-of-life feature enables players to sprint across the map by holding the Shift key, which improves movement and reduces travel time.
ROM holders also see changes under the effects of Giga Juice. Material production from ROMs increases by 20 percent, which contributes to better potion crafting and overall resource accumulation. In dungeons, Giga Juice grants all players additional potion slots and, in some cases, a fourth upgrade option after completing a dungeon level. These improvements enhance survivability and increase the likelihood of successful dungeon progression.

Cosmetic Rewards and Limited-Time Incentives
Players who purchase Giga Juice during the promotional period will receive cosmetic rewards based on the tier selected. These rewards include items such as the partyhat and Pantheon-themed skins for both head and body. The highest tier also includes the Gigus Shrine, a legendary item with currently undisclosed functionality. While these cosmetic items are tradable and may appear on the marketplace, the Gigus Shrine remains exclusive and non-tradable at this time.
In addition to in-game items, a limited-time flash badge is being offered through a partnership with AbstractChain. This badge is available to all players who purchase any Giga Juice tier, including the entry-level option, and serves as a digital collectible recognizing early adopters of the new system. It is important to note that while the duration of multiple Giga Juice purchases will stack, the exclusive cosmetic rewards and the flash badge are only available during the promotional window and do not multiply with additional purchases.

ReferFI Offers Real-Time Crypto Rewards
Alongside the Giga Juice release, Gigaverse has launched ReferFI, a new referral system designed to provide immediate, tangible rewards. Unlike traditional referral systems that often promise future airdrops or benefits, ReferFI delivers direct crypto payouts as soon as a referred player completes a mint or purchases Giga Juice. With ReferFI, users receive 10 percent of the value from referred players' mint fees and Giga Juice purchases.
These rewards are immediately available and can be claimed through a new in-game menu. The process is straightforward and supports the platform’s goal of rewarding players who contribute to its growth through active referrals. ReferFI is positioned as a practical alternative to speculative point-based systems commonly found in web3 projects. By delivering real-time payouts, the system promotes greater transparency and incentivizes community-driven growth.

Continued Momentum in Gigaverse Development
The May update continues a pattern of consistent development and content delivery from the Gigaverse team. With the introduction of Giga Juice and ReferFI, the platform not only enhances the player experience but also strengthens its economic and social engagement models. These additions reflect the project's broader strategy of combining gameplay improvements with functional web3 mechanics, supporting both casual players and more invested community members.
Players interested in optimizing their gameplay experience or earning through referrals are encouraged to explore the new features promptly, especially given the time-sensitive nature of the limited rewards. As Gigaverse continues to evolve, further updates and enhancements are expected to build on this foundation.
