Video game publisher Gunzilla Games is set to debut its Avalanche-based layer 1, GUNZ Network, and its native GUN token on March 31, aligning with its earlier Q1 2025 launch estimate.
The announcement marks a new step in integrating blockchain technology with AAA gaming, and according to Vlad Korolov, CEO and co-founder of Gunzilla Games:
Our partnership with Avalanche not only allows us to leverage its highly scalable and secure blockchain infrastructure but also ensures a seamless, low-latency gaming experience for our players.

A New Era for In-Game Asset Trading
Upon launch, the GUN token will be tradable on Binance with a seed tag indicating its origin from an “innovative project”, which is a tag denoting volatility and risk. The token has a capped total supply of 10 billion, with 400 million (or 4%) reserved for rewards to token stakers via Binance Launchpool.
Gunzilla Games recently partnered with Delphi Ventures, an investment firm, to establish the GUNZ Foundation, a nonprofit organisation that will oversee network launches and token distribution.
Once live, the GUNZ Network will enable players of Off the Grid to freely trade in-game assets such as weapons and skins, as well as the GUN token itself. According to the network’s website:
GUNZ is the first-ever platform in a triple-A game that gives you the option to turn your items into tradable NFTs inside the game’s marketplace or elsewhere.

Before the mainnet launch, players have been interacting with the GUNZ testnet, earning GUN tokens and in-game items. While testnet balances are expected to reset at launch, unique assets will remain intact.
Is Web3 Gaming Making a Comeback?
Once considered a dead field, blockchain gaming seems to be making a comeback, slowly but surely. As Crypto News Australia reported, Layer 2 networks have experienced a massive spike in gaming activity and attracted over US$55M (AU$87M) in February of this year.
