Can't wait to see this as a Successful Role Model for other Giant gaming corps to embrace crypto as a form of their native marketing and further expansion of industry...

Binance has come up with a new opportunity for it's users where users will be able to lock their BNB,  FDUSD, and USDC to receive airdrops. I am talking about the new launchpool project "GUN" Lets dive into the project and see what it's all about.
What is Gunz?
GUNZ is a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for AAA Web3 gaming, developed by Gunzilla Games. It powers a comprehensive gaming ecosystem with services tailored to the needs of both developers and players. Originally created to support a community-driven economy for Gunzilla's flagship title, Off The Grid (OTG), GUNZ has evolved into a full-featured platform offering blockchain-native infrastructure essential for modern game development.
The GUN Token is a utility token intended solely for use within the GUNZ Platform and the "Of The Grid" multiplayer video game ecosystem. The Token provides access to specific in-game features, as outlined in this document. It does not grant any ownership, profit-sharing, governance, or voting rights in Poseidon 133 Pte. Ltd. (the "Company") or any affiliated corporate entity.

Problem
Currently there are no ecosystems in Web3 for true AAA games. At the same time in Web2 there are no clear tools available for asset ownership and community economies that can greatly enhance the user experience.
Solution
Gunzilla built the World's first AAA Web3 ecosystem, GUNZ, onboarding both Web3 and Web2 native games.
Key Advantages for Gamers:

True Ownership: Players truly own their in-game items, which are secured and tradeable on-chain, offering full control and real-world value.Player-Driven Economy: Empowered by decentralized tech, players can trade, sell, or rent their assets, turning playtime into real opportunity.Security & Transparency: All transactions and ownership records are secured and visible on-chain, reducing fraud and increasing trust.Next-Gen Ready: Tailored for AAA games with high performance and scalability, supporting fast, secure, and low-cost transactions.

By March 2025, the GUNZ ecosystem delivered record-breaking testnet results:

14M+ unique wallets440M+ transactions processed900,000+ daily active wallets at peak

What is Gunzilla Games?
Gunzilla Games is a AAA game developer behind the cutting-edge multiplayer shooter Off The Grid, the innovative blockchain gaming ecosystem GUNZ, and Game Informer-the most recognized gaming magazine in the world, with a 33-year legacy.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, Gunzilla Games has grown into a powerhouse studio with over 450 full-time employees.

GUNZ Revenue Model
Transaction Commissions:
A modest commission (gas fee) is collected from every on-chain transaction made by users or enterprises interacting with the blockchain.

Marketplace Resale Commissions:
A 5% commission is collected from resale transactions of in-game items traded on the GUNZ Marketplace, with proceeds strategically shared between GUNZ and Validators based on predefined criteria.

HEX Opening Fees:
Players contribute fees when opening NFT HEXes (digital loot containers) within Off The Grid, providing another revenue stream that directly correlates with user engagement and activity.
Additionally, Off The Grid features an optional monthly subscription model priced at $11.99, which introduces additional features. Since the game's launch in October 2024, the number of subscribers rapidly exceeded 100,000, proving the models early success and has continued to grow steadily, reflecting strong user engagement with the recurring monthly payment model.

🔸 BUYBACK MODEL
Gunzilla Games commits 30% of Off The Grid's revenue to consistently repurchasing GUN tokens from the open market. These tokens are then used to replenish the platform rewards fund and are redistributed to players based on their in-game performance. This model ensures sustained game operations while fostering continuous demand for the tokens

🔸BURNING MECHANISM
Each time a Validator NFT mints an in-game item, a portion of GUN tokens is burned. The burn rate remains lower than the rewards earned by Validator NFT owners, ensuring economic incentives while introducing a deflationary factor. The actual amount will be determined by the game's actual revenue.
