## Products

- [GUNZ](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): GUNZ is a permissioned EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built as a subnet within the Avalanche ecosystem, designed for game-native digital asset infrastructure. It provides the foundational layer for in-game economies, NFT minting, and transaction processing across blockchain-integrated games. GUN serves as the native currency for gas fees and validator rewards, with cross-chain connectivity to Avalanche C-Chain and Solana via LayerZero. (L1, Live, Main Product)
- [Off The Grid](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): Off The Grid is a battle royale game combining PvP and PvE gameplay in a cyberpunk setting, available on Epic Games Store, Xbox, and PlayStation. Players collect loot containers called HEXes during sessions and can optionally convert them into tradable NFTs on the GUNZ marketplace. The game's in-game economy runs on the GUNZ blockchain, enabling player-owned digital item ownership and peer-to-peer trading. (Game, Live)
- [TECHNOCORE](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): TECHNOCORE is a free-to-play mobile game on iOS and Android built on the GUNZ blockchain. Players navigate a drone through a desalination plant environment to collect HEX loot boxes, which can be decoded into NFT in-game items for retention or trading on the GUNZ marketplace. In-match currency and experience points allow drone upgrades, and the game shares an account system with the GUNZ Wallet. (Game, Live)
- [GUNZ Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): GUNZ Bridge is a cross-chain bridge enabling $GUN token transfers between the GUNZ Layer 1 blockchain, Avalanche C-Chain, and Solana. Cross-chain transactions are processed by LayerZero's interoperability protocol. Players can deposit $GUN tokens from connected chains directly into their in-game wallets on the GUNZ platform. (Bridge, Live)
- [GUNZ Scan](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): GUNZ Scan is a block explorer for the GUNZ Layer 1 blockchain, enabling search and inspection of transactions, addresses, blocks, and token activity. Dedicated interfaces are available for both mainnet and testnet environments. A customizable scanner variant is also offered for developers building token and NFT applications within the GUNZ ecosystem. (Block Explorer, Live)
- [GUNZ Marketplace](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): GUNZ Marketplace is an NFT trading platform for listing and exchanging in-game items across games on the GUNZ platform. Items decoded from HEX loot boxes are listed and transacted using $GUN tokens. Game developers can also configure customized marketplace instances using GUNZ's built-in recommendations engine for deployment within their own titles. (NFT Marketplace, Live)
- [GUNZ Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): GUNZ Wallet is a mobile application for iOS and Android that stores tokens and NFTs earned across games on the GUNZ platform. Players use it to decode HEX loot boxes, manage in-game digital assets, and interact with the GUNZ marketplace. The application uses a shared account system across GUNZ titles, enabling unified asset access without separate logins per game. (Wallet, Live)
- [GUNZ Hacker Platform](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): The GUNZ Hacker Platform is a management dashboard for Validator NFT holders on the GUNZ blockchain. Validator NFTs operate as software nodes that process in-game item decoding transactions, earning $GUN fees from players and resale commissions from secondary item trades proportional to each NFT's hash power. Five rarity tiers determine hash power and commission rates, ranging from Common to Ancient. (Blockchain Gaming Infrastructure, Live)

## Assets

- [GUN (GUN)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): GUN is the native token of GUNZ, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for AAA gaming. It is used for gas fees on the GUNZ network, in-game transactions across titles including Off The Grid, and rewarding hardware validators for processing on-chain operations. Part of the circulating supply is available on Avalanche C-Chain and Solana through LayerZero cross-chain bridging. (Native)
- [Validator NFT](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): Validator NFT is an NFT collection on the GUNZ blockchain where each token represents a software node in the network's item-minting system. Owners earn GUN fees when their node is selected to process a player's HEX decoding transaction and receive commissions when the resulting in-game items are traded on secondary markets. Five rarity tiers assign hashpower values that determine each validator's probability of selection for a decoding event. (NFT)
- [Off The Grid](https://thegrid.id/profiles/gunz): Off The Grid is an NFT collection on the GUNZ blockchain representing tradable in-game items from the Off The Grid extraction royale title. Items are obtained by locating HEX loot boxes during gameplay, decoded to reveal their contents, and minted as NFTs on the GUNZ marketplace. Once minted, items are player-owned assets transferable to external wallets and tradable on platforms including OpenSea. (NFT)
