Gunzilla Games, creators of the cyberpunk battle royale game Off The Grid (OTG), has joined forces with Delphi Ventures to launch the GUNZ Foundation, a non-profit entity that will manage the $GUN token and the upcoming GUNZ Blockchain mainnet.
The GUNZ Foundation aims to bridge the gap between traditional gaming and blockchain, ensuring that web3 elements enhance gameplay without creating barriers for players unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies.
Backed by Delphi Ventures’ expertise in blockchain ecosystems, the initiative promises to seamlessly integrate token economics into Off The Grid’s dynamic world.
What to expect from the GUNZ Foundation?
The GUNZ Foundation was established to ensure the seamless integration of blockchain technology with Off The Grid. The foundation is tasked with managing the governance and implementation of the $GUN token, aiming to maintain a player-first approach with a focus on accessibility and fairness.
One of its main responsibilities is to balance blockchain elements with traditional gameplay to avoid alienating players familiar with cryptocurrencies. To achieve this goal, the foundation has outlined measures to simplify onboarding, such as automatically creating a digital wallet for players when they log into the game.
Additionally, the GUNZ Foundation will monitor the in-game economy to maintain fairness and prevent exploitation, such as pay-to-win dynamics. By implementing fair trade policies and educating participants on sustainable practices, the foundation hopes to create a fair ecosystem for all participants.
Vlad Korolev, CEO of Gunzilla Games, said: “This partnership marks an important milestone as we prepare to launch the GUNZ mainnet and its utility token $GUN, laying the foundation for a new era of gaming.”
$GUN Token: Powering the in-game economy
The $GUN token is designed to be the central currency in Off The Grid, supporting in-game transactions, player rewards, and item trading. It is built on the Avalanche blockchain, ensuring the growing scalability, security and efficiency of the gaming economy.
Main features of $GUN token:
- Purchasing power: Players can use $GUN to acquire rare weapons, upgrades, and other in-game items.
- Money Making Opportunities: In-game resources (called Hexes) can be extracted and sold for $GUN, providing players with a way to monetize their efforts in the game.
- Asset ownership: All in-game items are presented as NFTs, allowing players to trade them on the in-game market and external platforms such as OpenSea.
With the $GUN token and GUNZ mainnet planned for launch in early 2025, Gunzilla Games is preparing to expand its economic framework while setting standards for the use of blockchain in games.
