Anyone who wants to withdraw funds from the Abstract Chain at migrate.abs.xyz first gets a window with a green background and one sentence: Abstract is being shut down. Below it sits a box reading "I have read and agree to the Terms of Service", with a black "Continue" button beside it. It looks like a formality. Behind that checkbox, though, lie the "Migration Hub Terms of Service" dated 6 October 2026, an English contract with 21 sections and an attached privacy policy. We read all of it. Here is what you are signing, how to object to it, and how to get your funds off the chain without that checkbox at all.
The background: Abstract, the Ethereum layer 2 run by Igloo Inc., the company behind Pudgy Penguins, will be shut down on 15 December 2026. Whatever has not been bridged down by then will be unreachable, according to the project. We described the routes off the chain in our guide to withdrawing your balance from Abstract. This article adds the contract that comes with the most convenient route.
