Gunzilla Games is expanding its in-game currency across blockchains. Starting Thursday, July 10, the GUN token - originally launched on Avalanche - goes live on the Solana blockchain. The move aims to bring more players and traders into the Off The Grid ecosystem and marks a shift toward multi-chain support.

Solana launch lowers entry barriers
By bringing the GUN token to Solana, Gunzilla is lowering barriers for new players and investors who found Avalanche's onboarding process too steep. Solana's fast transactions and low fees offer a smoother path into the game's blockchain-powered marketplace. To mark the launch, Gunzilla is releasing a new set of Solana-themed NFT skins in Off The Grid.
This expansion is part of what Gunzilla calls its "multi-chain ethos," a strategy to make its GUNZ blockchain and connected games accessible across multiple platforms and wallets. Theodore Agranat, Director of web3 at Gunzilla, said: "This is in line with our goal to make the GUNZ marketplace and its items, as well as any games within the GUNZ ecosystem, accessible to anyone - on any chain."

Token price down 69%, but marketplace stays active
Despite strong in-game engagement, the GUN token has dropped hard. It's down 69% from its all-time high since launching in March and sits at #73 among gaming tokens by market cap. Players remain active, though. Interest in in-game skins like the Tacoma Pioneer has stayed strong, and the GUNZ marketplace has seen more than $600,000 in volume over the last 30 days.
Longtime Off The Grid skin collector Money Magician thinks the Solana launch could help GUN recover. "I think the principal effect this move will have is accessibility to newer investors and lowering the barrier for entry," they said. "Perhaps not an instant effect, but it shall be a positive driver."

Mainnet migration progresses with 20,000 users moved
Gunzilla is making progress with its GUNZ mainnet migration. Over 20,000 users have started the shift from testnet, and the platform now supports full ownership of NFTs, tokens, and in-game assets. With over 17.3 million wallets registered and nearly $13 million in marketplace trades last month, the foundation is being laid for a more active ecosystem.
The GUNZ network is running validator nodes that mint in-game assets. Most of the 10,000 nodes are already live, although activity is still ramping up. Once the migration finishes and VASP licensing is approved, Gunzilla plans to open access further.

Steam testnet and OpenSea trading coming soon
Gunzilla recently unveiled a new GUNZ roadmap focused on major expansion in late 2025 and beyond. This month kicked off a series of "Hexes" reveals - puzzle-like teases that will announce future partnerships and updates. The first one dropped on July 7, with more expected soon.
A Steam testnet release for Off The Grid is in the works, joining the existing platforms on Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Gunzilla says the Steam version will follow Valve's guidelines on blockchain content by keeping the experience limited to testnet.
Early trading for in-game assets is coming soon via OpenSea. OTG Pro subscribers will get access first, with a wider rollout planned later. This update is expected to open the door to real-world value exchange within the skins economy.

New game mode, weapon, and player tools
Community tools are expanding. Gunzilla recently launched DEGENRADAR, which provides real-time insights into marketplace trends, and OTG Meta, which tracks player stats like loadouts and weapon usage.
On the gameplay side, Off The Grid added a 20-player free-for-all mode with four new arenas: Marshlands, Midtown Harbour, Stork City, and Ocio. Players can now equip a new weapon called the Cyberlancer, which features a dash attack and a bleed effect.
Weapon balancing updates have also gone live. The Kestrel sniper rifle now deals more damage and fires faster, while the AZV100 has been adjusted to lower its damage output but increase burst fire speed. Players can now toggle between first- and third-person views while aiming, and gyro aiming has been introduced for Windows PC and PS5.

Blockchain meets AAA design
Off The Grid is led by director Neill Blomkamp, whose influence shows in the game's tech-forward mechanics - especially the interchangeable limb system that affects movement and combat. These gameplay elements double as digital assets, connecting directly to the GUNZ blockchain and its in-game economy.
Gunzilla's ecosystem now includes the $GUN token, the GUNZ L1 blockchain, an NFT marketplace, the GUNZ wallet and explorer, validator node NFTs, the TECHNOCORE mobile game, and the OTG Companion App. The goal is to let players own, trade, and control their digital items with the same freedom they expect in real life.
Gunzilla CEO Vlad Korolev said: "What was once an ambitious belief - that true asset ownership enabled by blockchain would radically increase player engagement - is now a working reality."

Blackhole partnership and liquidity pools
In addition to the Solana expansion, Gunzilla recently announced a partnership with decentralized exchange Blackhole. New liquidity pools are coming to Avalanche, although no date has been confirmed. The goal is to increase trading flexibility and bring more stability to the GUN token across chains.
With GUN going live on Solana, a wider Steam release on the way, and new gameplay and trading features rolling out, Gunzilla is bridging the gap between web2 gaming quality and web3 asset ownership. The next few months will show how well this multi-chain vision plays out in the competitive world of blockchain gaming.
