Gunzilla Games launches GUNZ Foundation, plans to release $GUN token

Gunzilla Games, creator of the cyberpunk battle royale Off The Grid (OTG), together with Delphi Ventures, is launching the $GUN token and the GUNZ Foundation, a non-profit organization that manages the upcoming GUNZ blockchain mainnet.

The GUNZ Foundation aims to bridge the gap between traditional gaming and blockchain, ensuring web3 elements enhance gameplay without creating barriers for players unfamiliar with cryptocurrency.

Building on Delphi Ventures’ expertise in blockchain ecosystems, this initiative promises to provide seamless integration of token economics into the dynamic world of Off The Grid.

What do you expect from the GUNZ Foundation?

The GUNZ Foundation was established to seamlessly integrate blockchain technology into Off The Grid. The Foundation, which is tasked with managing the governance and implementation of the $GUN token, aims to maintain a player-first approach with a focus on accessibility and fairness.

One of our key responsibilities is to balance blockchain elements with traditional gameplay so that players unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies are not alienated. To achieve this, the foundation outlined measures to simplify onboarding, including automatically creating a digital wallet when players log into the game.

The GUNZ Foundation also monitors the in-game economy to ensure fairness and prevent abuse such as Pay-to-Win mechanics. The Foundation hopes to create a fair ecosystem for all participants by implementing fair trade policies and educating players about sustainable practices.

“This partnership marks an important milestone in setting the stage for a new era in gaming as we prepare for the launch of the GUNZ mainnet and our utility token, $GUN,” said Vlad Korolev, CEO of Gunzilla Games.

$GUN Token: Powering the in-game economy

The $GUN token is designed as Off The Grid’s central currency, supporting in-game transactions, player rewards, and item trading. Built on the Avalanche blockchain, it ensures scalability, security, and efficiency as the gaming economy grows.

Key features of $GUN token:

  • Purchasing Power: Players can use $GUN to acquire rare weapons, upgrades, and other in-game items.
  • Monetization Opportunities: In-game resources, known as Hexes, can be extracted and sold for $GUN, allowing players to monetize their gameplay efforts.
  • Asset Ownership: All in-game items are represented as NFTs, allowing players to trade them on the in-game marketplace and external platforms such as OpenSea.

With the launch of the $GUN token and the launch of the GUNZ mainnet in early 2025, Gunzilla Games is preparing to expand its economic framework while setting the standard for blockchain use in games.
