Plant vs Undead (PVU) is not playable in the normal way right now. The latest post on the project's official Telegram announcement channel says "PVU will take a break" while the team reviews the game, and that all servers will be temporarily closed. The team gives two reasons: the game model is not attractive to new players, and the tokenomics are not sustainable in the long term. The public channel view does not show a date on that post. It comes straight after a schedule for February 2025. On 25 October 2026 the official website, plantvsundead.com, returned a server error (HTTP 500). The PVU token is still listed. CoinGecko showed it at about $0.00037 on 25 October 2026, with a market cap of roughly $111,000.
The rest of this page covers how the project reached this point, what the token data shows, and how the game worked for anyone researching it or holding old assets.
What the official channel says
Almost every recent first-hand detail comes from one source, the project's own Telegram announcement channel. Outside coverage after 2022 is thin, and the official site could not be reached on 25 October 2026.
Late 2024: a second chain and a new token
- Late November 2024: in a post titled "PVU - A New Beginning", the team announced a new server on Solana with a new token, sPVU, exclusive to that chain. The post said "PVU Legacy", the existing version on opBnB, would keep running alongside it.
- The same post set the rules: NFTs on opBnB cannot move to Solana, so players would have to buy new NFTs there. The treasury would be rebalanced between the two chains every three months, with up to 10% moving from the larger chain to the smaller one. 95% of ICO funds would go to liquidity, locked for 10 years with 10% vesting each year for development costs.
- November–December 2024: PVU Legacy on opBnB kept running in numbered "Year" cycles. Year 33 farming started on 9 November 2024, Year 34 on 25 November 2024 and Year 36 on 25 December 2024. One December post said "LE will no longer be reset."
January–February 2025: the sPVU sale and a delayed start
- Late December 2024: the team set the sPVU price at $0.09, payable in SOL, and listed NFT prices in sPVU (for example, Seed 200 sPVU and Fusion Fee 100 sPVU).
- 1 January 2025: the sale opened after a delay caused by a Solana RPC issue. On 1 January 2025 the team reported raising 210 SOL. When the sale closed around 2 January, it reported 225 participants and 636,361 sPVU sold. Liquidity was placed on a Solana decentralised exchange.
- Early January 2025: Year 1 farming on Solana was postponed "until further notice" while a fault in opBnB–Solana conversion was fixed. A later post moved the start to 18 January 2025 and said the treasury pool would begin with 5,000,000 sPVU and receive 1,000,000 more each month.
- February 2025: the last schedule post said Year 02 on Solana would end on 14 February 2025 and Year 03 farming would start on 17 February 2025. It also set opBnB Years 39 and 40 for 8 and 23 February 2025. The post has an inconsistency: it says "Year 38 will end" under the Year 39 heading.
- Next post: the temporary-break announcement described above.
What the PVU token shows in October 2026
| Metric | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ~$0.0003708 | CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, around 25 Oct 2026 |
| Market cap | ~$111,246 | CoinGecko, around 25 Oct 2026 |
| 24h volume | ~$382 | CoinGecko, around 25 Oct 2026 |
| All-time high | $24.73 (CoinGecko); $25.49 on 21 Aug 2021 (CoinMarketCap) | aggregator data |
| Max supply | 300M PVU | CoinMarketCap |
| BNB Smart Chain contract | 0x31471e0791fcdbe82fbf4c44943255e923f1b794 | CoinGecko |
Aggregators record the peak differently. Decrypt reported a record of $26.11 on 26 August 2021. Whichever figure you use, the token has lost more than 99.9% of its peak value.
CoinMarketCap gives this token allocation: 150M (50%) for player rewards and the ecosystem, 60M (20%) for the team, 60M (20%) for the ICO and token sales, and 30M (10%) for community and marketing.
With 24-hour volume of a few hundred dollars, a sell order of any size can move the price sharply.
How PVU went from two chains to closed servers
Step through the official announcements from late 2024 to the break notice to see where the game stands now.
- 9 Nov 2024Year 33 farming starts on opBnBconfirmed
PVU Legacy on opBnB keeps running in numbered Year cycles; Year 34 follows on 25 November 2024 and Year 36 on 25 December 2024.
- Late Nov 2024"PVU - A New Beginning"announced
The team announces a Solana server with a new token, sPVU. NFTs on opBnB cannot move to Solana, and the treasury is to be rebalanced every three months, with up to 10% moving to the smaller chain.
- Late Dec 2024sPVU price setannounced
The team sets the sPVU price at $0.09, payable in SOL, and lists NFT prices such as Seed 200 sPVU and Fusion Fee 100 sPVU.
- 1–2 Jan 2025sPVU sale opens after a delayconfirmed
After a Solana RPC issue, the sale opens and raises 210 SOL on 1 January. When it closes around 2 January, the team reports 225 participants and 636,361 sPVU sold.
- 18 Jan 2025Solana Year 1 farming rescheduledconfirmed
Year 1 is first postponed "until further notice" over an opBnB–Solana conversion fault, then moved to 18 January. The treasury pool starts with 5,000,000 sPVU plus 1,000,000 a month.
- Feb 2025Last farming scheduleannounced
Year 02 on Solana ends on 14 February and Year 03 starts on 17 February 2025. opBnB Years 39 and 40 are set for 8 and 23 February 2025.
- Undated"PVU will take a break"uncertain
The next official post says all servers will be temporarily closed while the team reviews the game, because the game model does not attract new players and the tokenomics are not sustainable.
- 25 Oct 2026Site down, token still listedconfirmed
plantvsundead.com returns HTTP 500. CoinGecko shows PVU at about $0.00037, with a market cap of roughly $111,000.
Nearly every step comes from the project's own Telegram channel. The break notice has no visible date, and nothing here says if or when the servers will reopen.
How the game worked
CoinMarketCap describes PVU as a free NFT play-to-earn game launched in June 2021. It combined tower defence with farm simulation, and its premise was close to Plants vs. Zombies. Each plant was an NFT.
- Starter assets: new players got a free starter slot with one Mother Tree and five plant slots (CoinMarketCap).
- Two currencies: PVU, a BEP20 token on BNB Smart Chain, bought NFTs. Light Energy (LE), an in-game currency, bought tools. Players converted PVU to LE to start. FXEmpire's guide says players needed five PVU and some BNB for fees, and could only convert LE back to PVU if they owned at least one NFT plant.
- Farming: each sunflower needed one small pot and one container of water, and a container could be used up to 100 times (FXEmpire). Daily quests paid LE.
- Combat: after a 2022 change, PVP ran on a separate chain from PVE, and assets could not move between the two (FXEmpire). The developer blog published "PVU 4.0 - PVE Mechanics & Facts" on 19 May 2022.
Why the economy struggled
In August and September 2021 the developers changed the rules repeatedly. Decrypt reported on 21 September 2021 that the LE-to-PVU rate moved from 100 LE per PVU to 300, then to 150, during the Farm 2.5 update. Less than a month later the team announced that the LE-to-PVU rate would rise 10% every week. PVU fell below $5, to a low of $4.68, from around $10 before the announcements. Decrypt said the token had lost about 80% of its value since Farm 2.5 launched.
The team's 2025 break notice cites the same weakness: tokenomics that are "not sustainable".
If you still hold PVU or PVU NFTs
- Expect no official game access. The servers are closed according to the latest official post, and the website returned an error on 25 October 2026.
- Beware airdrop offers. Two August 2026 articles found no official confirmation of a "BSC MVB III" PVU airdrop, and one called it a likely scam. Never enter a seed phrase on any page that claims to restore or reward PVU assets.
- Check the contract address. Before any transaction, compare the token contract with the address listed on CoinGecko and on a block explorer.
- Remember the chains are separate. opBnB NFTs were never transferable to Solana, and sPVU is a different token from BEP20 PVU.
Limitations: the game's current status rests on one source, the project's own Telegram channel, and the break notice has no visible date.
