Off The Grid (OTG) presents the industry's best opportunity to demonstrate onchain economies at undeniable scale

OTG represents the single purest signal for validating the thesis of onchain economies in the mainstream arena. Quietly building under the radar since 2019

Off The Grid (OTG), the highly anticipated FPS game developed by Gunzilla, has become a hot topic in the crypto community. The game, which is set in a unique world with a focus on cooperative gameplay and a deep token economy, has been praised by streamers and viewers alike.

At the beginning of this year, Delphi Ventures took a large strategic investment in validator nodes for the GUNZ ecosystem. These nodes are essential for securing the network and enabling the game's token economic model.

"We're big believers in the long-term vision of GUNZ to build the leading ecosystem for onchain AAA games," said Pier Guillaume, partner at Delphi Ventures. "We're excited to see the community rally around this project and contribute to its success."

The GUNZ ecosystem is powered by the $GUN token, which will be listed on Binance on March 31st. The token is used for various purposes within the game, such as minting items and paying fees to validators.

"The $GUN listing on Binance is a significant milestone for the entire crypto sector," added Guillaume. "It will provide mainstream attention and liquidity to one of the most interesting projects developing in the blockchain space today."

GUNZ is also developing a white-label product suite that will enable other studios to create onchain games using the GUNZ technology. This product suite includes an in-game minting engine, a mobile wallet, and NFT marketplace.

"We're keen to see how other ambitious studios can leverage this infrastructure to target diverse audiences with next-generation game experiences," Guillaume noted.

Over the past five months, OTG has become the largest DeFi chain by both daily active addresses and transaction count, highlighting the potential of this technology to create truly impactful consumer products.

"With 150-player battles, narrative chapters written by Richard Morgan, and a huge content pipeline, we expect OTG to attract a larger share of the 1.2 billion FPS players and generate even greater interest in the GUNZ ecosystem."

In the coming decades, Guillaume sees virtual game economies growing into the hundreds of billions of dollars. Unlike traditional closed gaming economies, having all items exist onchain unlocks an unprecedented degree of verifiability, accessibility, and composability. The lower cost, higher transparency nature of onchain marketplaces will drive increased spend as users build comfort in the technology.

"The Off The Grid launch was the first glimpse at this starting to click with mainstream audiences," he explained. "Every single day the ecosystem draws in new users, and exposes them to these ideas for the first time. From my perspective, this is the closest we have ever been to fulfilling the vision for onchain virtual economies that I fell in love with."

Overall, OTG presents a unique opportunity to showcase the technology's advantages and convert more gamers into participants in truly open game economies.
