Paradise Tycoon ecosystem grows with the launch of $MOANI token IDO

Web3 gaming continues to evolve at lightning speed, and one of the most ambitious projects leading the charge is Paradise Tycoon. With over 1.2 million installs and a thriving in-game economy, the team behind this hit life-sim is now taking things to the next level by launching its native token, $MOANI, through an Initial DEX Offering (IDO).

Set to go live on Avalaunch and Seedify starting August 22, this IDO represents not just the launch of a token, but the foundation of a larger connected ecosystem powered by the Paradise Chain.

Let’s dive into the details and explore why this milestone matters for players, investors, and the future of blockchain games.

$MOANI IDO Key Details

The $MOANI public sale will take place across three major platforms:

• Avalaunch – $100,000 allocation

• Seedify – $250,000 allocation

• Eesee – $100,000 allocation

In total, the raise will be $450,000 with tokens priced at $0.0022 each, making up 204 million tokens available in the IDO.

IDO Schedule:

• Registration opens: August 17, 3:00 p.m. (UTC)

• Registration closes: August 21, 6:00 p.m. (UTC)

• Validator round: August 22, 6:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (UTC)

• Staking round: August 22, 3:30 p.m. – August 23, 6:00 a.m. (UTC)

• Booster round: August 23, 6:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. (UTC)

Participants must complete KYC, stake XAVA tokens, and register to secure their spot. Importantly, a 7-day unconditional refund policy is available after the Token Generation Event (TGE)—but once tokens are claimed, refunds are no longer possible.

What Is Paradise Chain?

At the core of this launch is the Paradise Chain, a custom-built Avalanche Layer 1 network designed specifically for gaming. Developed by Empires Not Vampires, the studio behind Paradise Tycoon, it enables a level of interconnectedness rarely seen in web3.

Paradise Chain unlocks:

• Shared tools for faster game development

• Cross-title crafting, events, and user-generated content (UGC)

• A unified economy fully powered by $MOANI

• Seamless asset and progression transfers between games

Backed by Ava Labs, Seedify, and the Google Web3 Startup Program, Paradise Chain positions itself as a strong contender among purpose-built gaming blockchains.

The Growing Paradise Gaming Universe

The ecosystem is not just theoretical—it’s already thriving.

• Paradise Tycoon is live with 250K monthly active players and over 5 million trades in its economy. Its mix of MMO life-sim mechanics and UGC-driven building has proven to be a winning formula.

• Paradise Legends, an action RPG with PvE and PvP, is scheduled for beta release in Q3 2025. Originally introduced as an event within Paradise Tycoon, it’s now expanding into a standalone title.

• A third, unannounced game is also planned for 2026, part of the studio’s strategy to release new titles annually by leveraging shared assets and mechanics.

This approach builds a network effect, where every new release expands—not fragments—the overall ecosystem.

$MOANI as the Lifeblood of the Ecosystem

The $MOANI token is more than just a currency—it’s the connective tissue across all Paradise IP games.

Players will use $MOANI for:

• Buying items, cosmetics, and NFTs

• Crafting and upgrading

• Renting islands and unlocking features

• Covering gas fees for on-chain actions

• Monetizing UGC and hosting in-game events

Notably, during beta phases, over 60% of airdropped tokens were already spent in-game, signaling strong organic demand and healthy token velocity.

Tokenomics Breakdown

The total supply of $MOANI is 6 billion tokens, with allocations designed to reward players while ensuring long-term ecosystem sustainability.

• Game & UGC Rewards – 30%

• Team & Advisors – 17%

• Operations & Marketing – 14%

• Liquidity Provision – 10%

• Seed & Private Sales – 23%

• IDO/Public Sale – 3%

• Validator & Staking Rewards – 3%

At launch, only 8.4% of supply will be in circulation (excluding liquidity), setting the initial market cap at $1.76 million.

Vesting schedules ensure long-term commitment. For example, IDO participants receive 40% at TGE, with the rest unlocking monthly after a 3-month cliff. Rewards for gameplay unlock over five years, starting with 15% at TGE.

Strategic Backing and Partnerships

The project has gained strong endorsements from industry leaders.

• Shima Capital’s Yida Gao praised the team’s ability to deliver engaging midcore web3 titles.

• Avalaunch, Paradise Chain’s IDO partner, has been working closely with the team since early 2023. According to Timo Juuti, Co-Founder of Paradise Chain, Avalaunch brings “transparency, professionalism, and genuine commitment” to the table.

This backing extends beyond blockchain-native firms. Through Bonus Stage Publishing, Paradise IP games are also planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, bridging the gap between web3 and mainstream gaming.

What’s Next for Paradise Chain and $MOANI

The Token Generation Event will follow shortly after the IDO. With a growing player base, upcoming titles, and console expansion, the launch of $MOANI is a strategic step toward building a unified, multi-platform gaming universe.

For players, this means more engaging experiences and rewards. For the industry, it shows how blockchain games can move beyond isolated experiments and into ecosystem-driven worlds where progress, items, and value persist across titles.

The journey is just beginning—but if Paradise Tycoon’s success is any indication, $MOANI could become one of the most influential tokens in web3 gaming.
