Off The Grid's GUN Token Launches on Solana via LayerZero as Gunzilla Goes Multi-Chain

• GUN, the in-game currency for Off The Grid, went live on Solana as of July 10, 2026
• Gunzilla Games used LayerZero, a cross-chain interoperability protocol, to bridge GUN from its native GUNZ gaming chain and Avalanche
• Existing holders on GUNZ and Avalanche are not required to bridge; their tokens remain fully valid where they are
• Solana was selected for its low transaction fees and high throughput, which align with gaming use cases
• A limited edition Solana-themed NFT skin pack is available to early supporters of the expansion
• The move is part of Gunzilla's stated goal of making GUNZ-ecosystem items accessible from any chain or wallet
• Off The Grid is a AAA battle royale game from Gunzilla Games, built on the GUNZ gaming chain

Off The Grid just became significantly easier to enter for Solana users. Gunzilla Games launched its GUN token on Solana on July 10, 2026, making the in-game currency for one of web3's higher-profile battle royale titles available to anyone holding a Solana-compatible wallet. The cross-chain integration is powered by LayerZero, a leading blockchain interoperability provider, ensuring secure token transfers between networks. source

How the Multi-Chain Expansion Works

GUN token originally launched on Avalanche and is also the primary currency on the GUNZ gaming chain, which Gunzilla built specifically to support its ecosystem. Starting July 10, GUN is now natively accessible on Solana, with LayerZero handling cross-chain transfers so that token holders can choose which network they prefer to use. source

The key point for current GUN holders: you do not need to do anything. Tokens on GUNZ and Avalanche remain valid and functional. Bridging to Solana is entirely optional. This is a one-way access expansion, not a forced migration.

Why Solana

Solana's architecture has become increasingly attractive to gaming projects because it handles high transaction volumes with fees typically under a fraction of a cent. Gunzilla stated that its multi-chain approach aims to make the GUNZ marketplace and its connected games accessible to anyone on any chain, with Solana representing the largest crypto-native gaming audience outside of Ethereum's ecosystem. source

The Solana gaming scene has grown substantially since late 2024, with a wave of mobile-first and casual gaming apps bringing in players who may never have used an Ethereum or Avalanche wallet. By being on Solana, GUN can now be bought, sold, and held by a much broader base of crypto-native players with no friction from unfamiliar tooling.

The Solana NFT Skin Drop

Alongside the token launch, Gunzilla announced a limited edition NFT content pack inspired by the Solana network, exclusively for early supporters. Full details on how to claim the NFTs will be shared through official GUNZ channels, but the pack appears to be a time-limited opportunity tied to the launch window. source

This mirrors a pattern Gunzilla has used before: cosmetic NFT drops that reward early adopters of new ecosystem features. It adds a time-sensitive incentive for existing players who want to be among the first to engage with the Solana integration.

Broader Context for Off The Grid

Off The Grid launched on Steam in late 2025 to mixed reviews, with players flagging server stability issues and an unfamiliar onboarding experience for non-crypto players. The game has improved since then, with Gunzilla focusing on stability updates and content cadence. The Solana skin tie-in suggests a closer relationship between Gunzilla and the Solana Foundation, which has been aggressively funding and co-marketing gaming projects on its network throughout 2025 and 2026. source

In our assessment, the Solana move is a smart distribution play. It does not fix underlying gameplay concerns, but it materially lowers the barrier for a large segment of crypto-native users to try the game without opening new wallets or learning unfamiliar chains. For a game still building its player base, that matters.

What This Means for Players

If you are already playing Off The Grid: nothing changes for you. Your GUN remains where it is. The optional bridge to Solana is useful only if you prefer to manage assets in a Solana wallet like Phantom, or if you want to participate in any Solana-based GUN trading pairs.

If you are new to Off The Grid and already have a Solana wallet: this is now the simplest way to enter the ecosystem. You can acquire GUN on Solana DEXes, participate in marketplace transactions, and potentially claim the early-supporter NFT pack before the window closes.

The players who benefit most from this expansion are those who were interested in Off The Grid but unwilling to set up a wallet on an unfamiliar chain. That friction is now gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do existing GUN holders need to bridge to Solana?

No. Tokens held on GUNZ or Avalanche remain fully functional. Bridging to Solana is entirely optional and does not provide any gameplay advantage over holding on the native chain.

How does the LayerZero bridge work?

LayerZero connects blockchains through a system of oracles and relayers, allowing tokens to be locked on the source chain and minted on the destination chain. It has been audited multiple times and processes large cross-chain volumes across dozens of blockchain networks.

Can I buy GUN directly on a Solana exchange?

Yes. Once GUN is listed on Solana DEXes like Raydium or Jupiter, it can be purchased using SOL or USDC without needing any Ethereum or Avalanche infrastructure. Check current listings on those platforms for availability and liquidity depth.

What is the Solana NFT skin pack and how do I claim it?

Gunzilla described a limited edition NFT content pack inspired by the Solana network for early supporters of the expansion. Exact eligibility criteria and claim instructions have not yet been published. Monitor the official GUNZ social channels for the claim window announcement.
