GUNZ Ecosystem Launches Mainnet Migration in Europe

A Big Step for Web3 Gaming in Europe

Gunzilla Games has officially started the Mainnet migration for its GUNZ ecosystem, and the first wave of players to make the move are PC users in the European Union. This rollout marks a major milestone, not just for Gunzilla but for blockchain games as a whole. Why? Because it’s happening under the EU’s brand-new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).

In August, the company confirmed that its $GUN token had become the first gaming-focused digital asset to achieve compliance under MiCAR. Now, the Mainnet migration is happening within that finalized legal framework, making GUNZ a pioneering case study for AAA web3 gaming inside regulated markets.

Mainnet Migration Begins with PC Users

The migration kicked off this week, with European PC players being the first to transition. Console users are next on the roadmap, pending platform approvals.

This isn’t Gunzilla’s first migration, though. Earlier in the year, the studio gave early access to OTG Pro Pass holders and its most active players. That phased rollout allowed the team to stress-test features, monitor the chain’s performance, and get community feedback before opening the doors wider.

The difference now? Full MiCAR compliance. That means every transaction and token interaction on the GUNZ network in Europe is happening under a clear and legally recognized framework.

$GUN Token Achieves MiCAR Compliance

Back in August, Gunzilla made headlines by confirming that its $GUN token had officially secured MiCAR compliance. With the help of global law firm Dentons, $GUN is now recognized as a compliant utility token across all EU member states.

Here’s what that means in practice:

• Passporting rights: $GUN can be traded and used legally across all EU countries without needing separate licenses.

• Institutional confidence: Businesses and partners can now engage with $GUN without legal gray areas.

• Player benefits: In-game activity tied to the token now comes with legal protection under EU law.

This makes $GUN the first mover in a space where regulation has often been a stumbling block for adoption.

Why the Migration Matters

The Mainnet shift isn’t just a backend upgrade. It unlocks several major benefits for players, developers, and partners alike:

• Exchange listings: $GUN can now be listed on regulated EU exchanges, expanding accessibility.

• Institutional partnerships: New collaborations are easier to form under a clear legal framework.

• Player security: Gamers know their transactions are protected and compliant.

And with console approvals already pending, the reach of this migration is set to grow even further.

Off The Grid Keeps Expanding

At the center of the GUNZ ecosystem sits Off The Grid (OTG), a cyberpunk-themed battle royale and PvP shooter. Far from a static release, OTG has been rapidly evolving with content patches that connect directly to the GUNZ economy.

Some highlights from recent updates include:

• Loadout Ladder mode: A “Gun Game” style feature where players progress through weapons with each kill.

• New Cyberlimbs: Tools like Mirror Breakers, which spawn decoys to outsmart opponents.

• Wall jump mechanics: Allowing players to chain mobility skills into jetpack boosts.

• Revamped lobby: A redesigned hub on the Dreadnaught Carrier for customizing loadouts and prepping for matches.

By tying new content directly to the blockchain economy, OTG makes every patch a deeper integration with $GUN utility.

Ecosystem Growth in Numbers

Before the EU PC migration even began, GUNZ had already built impressive momentum. Here are some of the standout metrics:

• 7.6 million NFTs minted.

• 62,498 unique holders recorded.

• 11.1 million $GUN tokens traded on OpenSea.

• 872+ million testnet transactions.

• 18.7 million wallets created.

• 2.25 million daily transactions maintained on average.

These numbers show both high player engagement and a blockchain infrastructure capable of handling serious scale.

Rewards and Campaigns Boost Engagement

Alongside infrastructure growth, Gunzilla has been rolling out new campaigns to keep its community engaged. August saw reward programs and collaborations with platforms like Kamino, Blackhole, and Galxe, plus new seasons of events like the Avalanche Battle Pass.

These campaigns give token holders and players extra reasons to engage, while reinforcing the value of the $GUN token within and beyond the game.

What’s Next for Gunzilla and GUNZ

Looking forward, Gunzilla isn’t slowing down. Here’s what’s on the horizon:

• Console migration: Submissions are already in, and console players are next in line for Mainnet access.

• Galxe Starboard launch: A campaign hub that will reward community promotion and ecosystem activity.

• OpenSea “Wave 4+” activity: Teased as the biggest trading push yet.

• Live OTG events: Including the upcoming Blast and Slash mode, where players can only use shotguns and select Cyberlimbs for high-intensity matches.

Gunzilla’s approach is clear: blend high-quality AAA gameplay with a robust, compliant blockchain economy, and use both to drive sustainable growth.

Final Thoughts

The Mainnet rollout of the GUNZ ecosystem in Europe is more than a technical achievement—it’s a statement. It shows that blockchain games can thrive not only in decentralized communities but also within regulated markets.

By combining AAA-level gameplay in Off The Grid with full MiCAR compliance, Gunzilla Games is setting a standard others will likely follow. With consoles, new campaigns, and live events on the way, the ecosystem is only just getting started.
