[Important] Notice of Service Termination for “JobTribes”

General
2025.10.31

 

Thank you very much for your continued support of “JobTribes.”

After careful consideration, we have decided to terminate the JobTribes service as of 17:00 (UTC+8)  on November 30, 2025.

■ Service Termination Date and Time:

  • Final Operation Date and Time:Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 17:00 (UTC+8)

As of the above date and time, all game functions and related features will be terminated.

■ Background of Service Termination

“JobTribes” was launched in May 2020 as one of the world’s earliest Play-to-Earn games, aiming to create a new form of entertainment experience leveraging NFTs and cryptocurrency. For over five years, it has been a flagship title for DEA and PlayMining, and we sincerely thank all players for your continued support and engagement.

The insights gained through JobTribes and its scholarship system—connecting in-game experiences with the real world—have guided DEA’s transition to the “Problem-Solving Game” business.

However, JobTribes was unable to transition to a sustainable model with sufficient external economic inflows, and regrettably, we have concluded that ending the service is necessary.

Ending JobTribes, our first and flagship title, is an extremely difficult decision made after extensive deliberation. We sincerely apologize to all players who hoped for the game’s continuation, and we deeply regret that we could not meet your expectations.

■ About NFTs (NFT Transfer Request)

NFTs that have been used throughout the more than five years of operation will continue to exist on the public blockchain even after the game ends.

We plan to enable the use of these NFTs as utilities in other “Problem-Solving Games” to further realize our vision.

Please follow the steps below to transfer your NFT assets.

NFT Transfer/Withdrawal via the Bridge Function

Starting December 1, 2025, it will be possible to transfer NFTs to external wallets (such as MetaMask) on the Polygon network via the NFT marketplace “PlayMining NFT.”

A detailed guide on the procedure will be published at a later date.

Transfer Period

  • Period: December 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026
  • Please ensure that you complete the transfer within the specified period, as it will no longer be possible after the deadline. 

■ About DEAPcheck Redemption

  • Redemption Deadline: Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 17:00 (UTC+8) 

 

■ About the Scholarship

  • NFT owners are requested to individually terminate any scholarship relationships within the specified period. 
  • The NFT Quest is scheduled to take place from November 12 to 19. Please make sure to take action promptly. 
  • In-game scholarship relationships will be forcibly terminated at the start of maintenance on November 26 at 11:00 (UTC+8).

Please note that this forced termination of scholarships is a measure to unlock NFTs owned by scholarship owners who are not currently active in the game.
