GUNZ is a blockchain infrastructure focused on gaming, designed to make blockchain features optional, integrated, and user-friendly for both developers and players. It enables ownership of in-game assets through NFT tokens, supports monetization of gaming economies, and provides a toolkit for integrating blockchain mechanisms without requiring technical expertise in smart contracts.
Overview of functional performance
For players
Players can own and trade in-game items through NFT tokens.
Those uninterested in blockchain features can play without focusing on cryptocurrency elements.
All transactions are verifiable on-chain, providing auditability and ensuring transparency.
For developers
GUNZ includes a software development kit, in-game wallets, P2P markets, block explorers, and minting engines.
Deploying smart contracts requires permission — only audited contracts are approved, reducing exploitation risks.
GUNZ is designed for scalability, having processed over 600 million transactions and supporting over 15 million wallets.
How GUNZ works
Smart contract environment
GUNZ is compatible with the Ethereum virtual machine and operates on a permitted contract model; this ensures that only secure, verified contracts are deployed, reducing the chances of fraud or instability.
Preparation for joining
GUNZ includes a "cryptocurrency bank" that helps abstract wallet creation and blockchain management. Players can engage with blockchain mechanisms without prior experience in the web 3 space.
Integrating games
The game Off The Grid is the first game built on GUNZ, utilizing blockchain in the background, allowing players to interact with the game naturally while having the option to participate in asset trading or minting tokens. NFT tokens are presented through HEX cubes – loot boxes that, when decoded, create new in-game assets.
Validator NFTs and token flow
The NFT tokens of validators are infrastructure nodes selected to mint NFT tokens upon decoding HEX cubes, allowing validators to receive:
Minting fees paid using GUN tokens.
Resale commission every time NFT tokens are traded in the GUNZ marketplace.
A portion of the GUN fees used during the minting process is burned, introducing a deflationary element to the token's supply model.
Players can obtain GUN tokens through:
Purchases of integrated mainnet tokens in the game (which incentivize direct purchases on the trading platform)
Optional balance top-up on the trading platform
Earn rewards within the ecosystem
Once GUN tokens are deposited into the game, they cannot be withdrawn, creating a permanent store of the token.
Utility of the token
Ecosystem uses:
GUN is the token used for transaction fees for all transactions on the blockchain on GUNZ.
GUN tokens are responsible for powering validator operations, minting, and platform functions.
Gunzilla allocates 30% of the company's revenue to purchase GUN tokens from trading platforms, which are then used to support in-game rewards and validator payments.
In-game uses:
Subscription payments, weapon gear, visual upgrades, and other cosmetic items.
Decoding HEX cubes to mint NFT tokens.
Trading assets in the internal market on GUNZ.
Binance Launch Pool
The GUN project was launched to be the sixty-sixth project in the Binance Launch Pool in March 2025. A total of 400 million GUN tokens were distributed to users who staked BNB, USDC, and FDUSD. GUN tokens are now listed on the Binance platform and traded against USDT, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY.
Next steps
The game Off The Grid is expected to launch on the Steam platform in mid-2025.
The GUNZ 2.0 wallet will allow NFT tokens to be withdrawn for external trading, including on platforms like OpenSea.
More gaming partners and tools, such as Technocore and DappRadar, are building on the platform.
Gunzilla seeks to obtain a virtual asset service provider license in the Cayman Islands as part of its long-term compliance roadmap.
Closing thoughts
GUNZ is a first-layer blockchain designed for AAA-rated gaming use cases, enabling player-owned economies, validator-based minting infrastructure, and transparent asset management. With a deflationary model based on token burning, a unique token store design, and the security of permitted contracts, GUNZ provides a technical foundation for accountable and scalable gaming economies in the web 3 world.
