Gunzilla Games, creators of the GUNZ blockchain and hit AAA title Off The Grid, is set to launch its $GUN token on Solana, expanding its reach to a new wave of Web3 gamers.
The move, scheduled for July 10, marks a significant step in GUNZ’s multi-chain strategy aimed at increasing accessibility and performance for its global user base. Branded under the campaign “$GUN is Coming to Solana”, the expansion brings part of the token’s circulating supply to one of the fastest-growing and most scalable blockchains.
Solana’s low-cost, high-throughput architecture makes it an ideal partner as GUNZ continues to build a robust ecosystem that supports millions of players and users worldwide.
To ensure a smooth transition, the cross-chain integration will be powered by LayerZero, a leader in blockchain interoperability, enabling secure and efficient token transfers between networks.
The $GUN token is already active on GUNZ’s proprietary Layer 1 and Avalanche’s C-Chain. Integrating with Solana opens the door for the $GUN token to power a wider array of partnerships, marketing initiatives, and community-driven campaigns.
In celebration of the $GUN token’s launch on Solana, Gunzilla is preparing a special edition NFT content pack inspired by the Solana network. According to the team, this limited drop will only be available to early supporters. Details on how to claim the NFTs will be revealed shortly, adding an extra layer of excitement for the community.
Off The Grid, the flagship title of the GUNZ ecosystem, is a narrative-driven battle royale available on Xbox, PlayStation, PC (via Epic Games Store), and soon on Steam. Designed with blockchain at its core, the game uses the $GUN token to allow players to purchase items, trade digital assets, and participate in meaningful on-chain interactions.
The upcoming integration with Solana will allow players to seamlessly deposit Solana-based $GUN tokens into their in-game wallets, unlocking fast, low-cost transactions that enhance the overall gaming experience.
Backed by a thriving ecosystem of over 17 million registered wallets, this expansion is expected to drive significant momentum in user engagement and adoption.
Commenting on the launch, Vlad Korolov, CEO at Gunzilla Games, said:
“Launching $GUN on Solana reflects our long-term commitment to building a truly global, player-first ecosystem. Solana’s speed and scalability allow us to reach new communities with greater efficiency and reliability. This is more than a technical upgrade—it’s a major step toward making blockchain gaming seamless, inclusive, and ready for the mainstream.”
Gunzilla has hinted at a series of upcoming developments as part of its ongoing growth plan. One of the most anticipated is the official launch of Off The Grid on Steam, which will bring the AAA title to a broader gaming audience. The team also aims to expand the availability of the $GUN token into new regions and platforms, making it more accessible to players and users worldwide. Additionally, Gunzilla is planning further cross-chain integrations as it continues to develop its ambitious “Too Big for One Chain” vision—strengthening its position at the forefront of blockchain gaming innovation.
Notably, the $GUN token functions as a utility asset within the GUNZ ecosystem and is not classified as a security or financial instrument in any jurisdiction. It is not being marketed or sold to U.S. residents. Users are advised to assess their eligibility and understand the risks before engaging with the token.
