Gun Token Set for Solana Launch, Enhancing Multi-Chain Accessibility Strategy
GUN Off the Grid‘s token is scheduled to launch on Solana this Thursday, lowering barriers for token acquisition. A Solana-themed skin pack accompanies the launch.
Reasons for Solana Expansion
Current Situation and Ambiguities
The move follows an initial launch exclusively on the Avalanche-optimized GUNZ layer one blockchain. Agranat acknowledged, in response to direct questions about Solana GUN usage validity on the Off the Grid marketplace, that this would be “Maybe” possible. He did not specify potential expansion chains beyond Solana but confirmed Decrypt had posed pertinent questions.
Market Performance and Ecosystem Dynamics
The decision coincides with significant token pressure, evidenced by an 11% loss over the preceding day ($0.036). While a recent interview highlighted Solana’s supportive environment for token launches mirroring Off the Grid’s Web2 success, the game’s Web3 token faces valuation headwinds. Off the Grid had launched its game to Web2 players but the token itself saw limited price appreciation and subsequent a 69% decline since its March debut.
Agranat’s Vision and Structural Reality
Agranat emphasized making the GUNZ ecosystem universally accessible, irrespective of blockchain. Importantly, the integration preserves separate token holdings (V1 on GUNZ/Avalanche, V2 on Solana) and does not alter the GUNZ L1 network, wallet compatibility, or game functionality itself.
Subsequent Market Reception
Crypto analysts anticipate minimal immediate impact on the ecosystem from the Solana addition. Current priorities include securing integration with OpenSea, which was previously pinned for this month and awaited by skin traders for enhancing liquidity. Data shows consistent top-tier trading volume for items like the recently sold “$5,499 Tacoma Pioneer,” suggesting strong gameplay demand despite limited token utility.
