What is GUNZ
GUNZ is a Layer 1 blockchain platform designed specifically for the gaming industry, developed by the AAA studio Gunzilla Games. It aims to revolutionize traditional gaming experiences through blockchain technology, allowing players to truly own and trade their digital assets earned in-game. The core idea of GUNZ is to empower players with ownership of in-game items and to break the limitations of traditional free-to-play games where players do not truly own their items through a decentralized approach.
In current free-to-play games, the items you purchase or loot do not truly belong to you. If you are accidentally banned or choose to stop playing, these items lose all value. GUNZ redefines this system: it allows you to own and trade the items you loot in-game—of course, this is entirely optional.
GUNZ is the first platform to introduce this feature in AAA games, allowing you to convert in-game items into tradable NFTs and trade them on the in-game marketplace or other external platforms. The technical features of GUNZ: GUNZ is an independent Layer 1 blockchain compatible with EVM. It operates on Avalanche's powerful infrastructure while achieving independent operation through a unique set of validators.
Key technologies:
Consensus mechanism
GUNZ employs the Avalanche subnet consensus protocol (Snowman), an efficient consensus mechanism that can support thousands of validators, providing excellent scalability. At the same time, it uses a permissioned model for smart contract deployment, allowing only authorized addresses to publish code, ensuring the security and stability of the network.
High-performance design
GUNZ is tailored for high-performance use cases (such as premium gaming), supporting Solidity-based smart contracts and being fully compatible with Ethereum ecosystem tools. It offers:
Sub-second transaction finality: Average transaction confirmation time of about 0.8 seconds.
High throughput: Theoretically capable of processing over 4500 transactions per second (TPS).
Low latency: Ensures a smooth and unobstructed gaming experience.
Player-driven economy
Through GUNZ, players can convert in-game items (such as weapons, skins, etc.) into NFTs, gaining true ownership. These NFTs can be traded on GUNZ's native marketplace or other supported platforms (like OpenSea), creating a fully player-driven economic system.
Practical applications of GUNZ
The first use case of GUNZ is the flagship game (Off The Grid) (OTG) developed by Gunzilla Games, a cyberpunk-style combat shooting game. In this game:
Players can obtain items through in-game activities, such as completing missions or looting.
These items can optionally be converted into NFTs, recorded on the GUNZ blockchain, ensuring ownership is permanent and verifiable.
Players can use GUNZ's native token $GUN to trade these NFTs on the market or convert them into real-world value.
Importantly, participation in NFT and blockchain functionalities is optional. If you do not wish to engage with these, you can still enjoy the complete gaming experience for free.
Summary
GUNZ is a blockchain platform born for gaming, providing not only high-performance technical support but also granting players true control over their digital assets through NFTs. It addresses the issue of players not being able to own items in traditional free-to-play games and seamlessly integrates Web3 technology with AAA games through an optional trading system. Whether for players seeking immersive experiences or users looking to explore the digital economy, GUNZ offers an innovative and flexible solution. In the future, as more games join the GUNZ ecosystem, its potential will be further unleashed.
