2. Project Overview

GUNZ is an L1 public chain designed specifically for AAA games, built by the German gaming company Gunzilla Games, and runs on the Avalanche Subnet. Its core goal is to enhance the fairness and sustainability of the gaming economy through blockchain technology.

GUNZ's first application scenario is Off The Grid, a cyberpunk-style battle royale game developed by Gunzilla Games, which has attracted over 12 million wallets and more than 230 million transactions, showcasing GUNZ's potential in large-scale gaming applications. Notably, Gunzilla Games' CTO Timur Davidenko had previously spent 18 years at Crytek, leading the technical development of well-known games such as Crysis and Far Cry.

To optimize the gaming experience, GUNZ adopts a high-throughput, low-cost blockchain architecture that supports tens of thousands of TPS per second and achieves near-zero gas fees. At the same time, GUNZ is compatible with Unity and Unreal engines, allowing developers to easily migrate traditional games to the blockchain, lowering the technical barriers to entering the Web3 gaming field. In addition, GUNZ uses NFT technology to give players true ownership of game assets, enhancing the transparency and sustainability of the gaming economy.

Currently, GUNZ is still in the testnet phase, with the mainnet about to go live, further promoting the deep integration of blockchain and AAA games.

3. Product situation

About GUNZ blockchain

Currently, GUNZ is in the testnet phase, and the testnet data is shown in the figure below, which can serve as a reference for testnet participation.

GUNZ's first product is Off The Grid, a cyberpunk-style battle royale game. The image below is a screenshot of the game, with the on-chain part mainly focusing on game assets on-chain.

There are multiple ways to obtain tokens in the game, including playing the game, ranking, obtaining items, opening loot boxes, etc.

About validator node NFTs

There are validator node NFTs in the game, with a total of 10,000 units:

Validators are an important part of the GUNZ ecosystem; they are responsible for decoding in-game loot containers (HEXes) and earn decoding fees in the process.

Players obtain HEXes through progress in the game and pay minting fees to validator NFT holders to unlock new game items, such as network prosthetics, weapons, attachments, etc.

When these NFTs are traded, the holders of validator NFTs can also earn resale commissions from the secondary market as rewards.

Hash power of validator nodes is allocated based on the different NFT levels, and income for validator nodes is distributed according to the hash power of NFTs. According to official documentation, NFT holders can expect to earn about 30% of the income from Off The Grid.

This design allows Validator NFTs to not just be collectibles but also to perform the function of decoding HEX, ensuring the decentralized operation of the in-game economy. By distributing GUN based on different rarity levels of NFTs, users holding highly rare NFTs gain economic advantages, while ordinary players also have the opportunity to enter this validator system. This model is similar to blockchain mining, where players pay transaction fees to NFT holders, and the system randomly selects validators through hash power, forming a decentralized economic system.

5. Financing history

According to information disclosed by Rootdata, Gunzilla Games has raised a total of 76 million USD.

6. Token economy

Core components of the GUNZ economic system

GUNZ is a high-performance blockchain designed for (Off The Grid) (OTG), aiming to support AAA gaming economies at a scale of millions of players. Its token economic model operates around the GUN token and combines NFT mechanisms to facilitate liquidity in transactions inside and outside the game.

Core elements:

Players

- Hold cash, GUN tokens, and NFT HEXes (NFT loot boxes) and use them to obtain in-game items (weapons, prosthetics, and other NFTs).

- Participate in third-party NFT market transactions.

Gaming platform (Off The Grid)

- Earn in-game income, where 30% of the income will be used to purchase GUN tokens, increasing market demand.

GUNZ Gaming Treasury

- Responsible for purchasing GUN tokens and may buy more GUN from exchanges to support the gaming economy.

GUNZ NFT Marketplace

- Players can use GUN tokens in the market to buy and sell in-game NFT items.

- Validators earn commissions from each HEX decoding.

NFT Validator

- Responsible for HEX decoding, burning HEX, and generating new NFTs.

- Token inflow to the validator pool, distributed to staking addresses, commission addresses, and burn addresses, forming a dynamic token economic system.

Open Market

- Players can sell GUN tokens for cash.

The logic chain of this economic system is as follows:

1. Players acquire HEXes in the game and then pay GUN tokens for decoding.

2. During the decoding process, HEX is burned, and new in-game NFTs are born.

3. GUN token flow to validator NFT holders, with validators profiting from transaction fees, while some tokens may be burned or staked.

4. The gaming company will regularly use 30% of its income to buy GUN, creating market demand.

5. Players can trade NFTs or GUN tokens in the NFT market or open market, forming an economic cycle.

This GUNZ economic system combines blockchain gaming, NFTs, decentralized validators, and token economics to create a relatively robust economic model. Its highlights include:

- Mandatory token usage (HEX requires GUN for decoding)

- Burn mechanism (to reduce inflation)

- NFT empowerment (not just collectibles, but also serve decoding functions)

- The gaming company repurchases tokens with its income to increase demand.

However, its sustainability depends on:

- Long-term user growth of the game

- NFT market activity level

- Market liquidity of GUN tokens

If this game can maintain high user growth and a stable NFT trading market, then the GUN economic system has the potential to operate long-term. However, if player growth stagnates or the supply of GUN tokens in the market becomes excessive, there may be a risk of economic imbalance.

Token distribution and unlocking situation:

The native token of the GUNZ project is GUN, with a total supply of 10 billion tokens. In terms of token distribution, the initial circulation is 604,500,000 GUN, accounting for 6.05% of the total supply.

7. Community situation

From the current community data, the main number of project community members is concentrated on the Off the Grid game, while the community size of the game developer Gunzilla Games is relatively average.

8. Secondary market performance prediction

1. Recent performance of Binance Launchpool

The recent two rounds of Launchpool projects have performed poorly, with decreasing returns.

2. On-chain lending costs

According to the on-chain BNB lending situation, users participating in this Launchpool need the coin price to reach 0.096.

USD or above is needed to cover the lending costs during the period.

3. Track comparison

Currently, there is a significant difference in market capitalization among leading projects in the sector, with the leading project being IMX. Excluding IMX's market capitalization, based on comparable valuations, GUNZ's reasonable short-term price is between 0.051 USD and 0.362 USD.

In summary, GUNZ's reasonable short-term price at launch is expected to be in the range of 0.1 to 0.15 USD.
