*TL;DR In a major upgrade, Bricks are moving to a new home today! We expect the migration will take several hours. During this time, you will not be able to use Bricks. We will update this post when the migration is complete.**

*If you have Bricks in your Vault, you don’t need to do anything. They should be transferred over seamlessly. If you have moved Bricks out of the Vault, see the instructions below for how to transfer them to the new network after the migration is complete.**

Update (7/29): Sharing some links here for the new scaling network:

If you have Bricks in a non-Vault wallet, here is the migration tool[1] to move them to the scaling network.
To see transactions in the new network, use the L2 block explorer[2] (other block explorers connected to Rinkeby won't show transactions anymore, since they are happening on a different layer).
For developers who want to work with the new L2 network, here is an JSON RPC endpoint[3] (chain ID is 5391184)

Update (7/22): We've launched the scaling network and we've finished migrating Bricks over to their new home. If you have Bricks in your Vault, you should be able to see and use them now. In the meantime, we are putting the finishing touches on the tool to migrate Bricks from other wallets, which we will share as soon as it is ready.

Hi r/FortNiteBR!

Ever since we launched Bricks[4] a year ago, we’ve been blown away by the love you’ve shown them, and we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to grow them further.

One of the great things about Bricks is that they live on the blockchain, where they are owned entirely by you. Currently they are in beta, which means they are on a test blockchain (called Rinkeby), and one of our main goals has been to get them to the main Ethereum blockchain so that millions of redditors can also experience Community Points[5].

Today, we are excited to launch a new scaling network[6] for Bricks! This is a major step to bringing Bricks to the main Ethereum blockchain, and we’ll be migrating Bricks to their new home over the next several hours. During this time, you will not be able to use Bricks. We will update this post when the migration is complete.

If your Bricks are in your Vault, then they should be transferred over seamlessly once the migration is complete. While we recommend using the Vault built into the Reddit app to store Bricks, we realize some people might have moved their Bricks to other wallets (software & hardware). If you have Bricks somewhere other than the Vault, you will be able to use a tool to transfer them to the scaling network after the migration is complete. We will update this post with a link to the tool when it is ready.

As part of this scaling launch, we’ve also made a few other upgrades to Bricks. You’ll notice transactions happen much faster, and once you’ve created a Vault you won’t have to keep claiming Bricks every month. They’ll just show up in your Vault like magic!

We’re very excited to be working with this community as we take Bricks to the next level. Thanks for all your support!

Key things to note:

Transactions are now speedier than ever! Most will take just a few seconds to complete.

You no longer need to claim your Bricks, it is done automagically!

I'm just glad we don't have to claim Bricks anymore. I use Reddit on a computer (And rarely do it on mobile) so it was always annoying going to access the Vault on my phone instead of being able to just claim them on my computer.

So this is the main takeaway for end users?

Bricks being blockchain seems like a waste of time and energy, what difference would it make if they weren't?

ok so if I guess correctly now I will be able to sell bricks directly without going through a long and complex process and without a Middleman that will charge 50% right?
