Blockchain: Avalanche Game Expands to Steam

Off the Grid NFT Sales Surge Amid Mainnet Migration

• Off the Grid is transitioning players to the GUNZ mainnet, allowing in-game items to be traded as NFTs.
• Only 0.13% of players can currently trade on mainnet, yet some items have sold for thousands of dollars.
• The game plans a June expansion to Steam, which banned blockchain games in 2021.
• A Prankster tactical vest recently sold for $2,393, and a ZipperMouth mask fetched approximately $1,100.
• The GUNZ testnet hosts nearly 16.5 million wallets, with only 21,000 on mainnet.

The migration of Off the Grid players to the GUNZ mainnet has enabled NFT trading of in-game items. Despite only a small fraction of users participating, transactions have reached significant values, such as a Prankster vest selling for $2,393. The game’s planned expansion to Steam raises questions about integrating blockchain features on platforms that previously banned them.
