Blockchain is no doubt revolutionizing the gaming industry. Today, concepts such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), play-to-earn (P2E), and metaverse have garnered interest from mainstream gamers and institutional investors. In the past, gamers spent their time and money playing games and purchasing in-game assets without getting any monetary rewards in return. But with blockchain gaming, everyone has the opportunity to earn passive income while having fun. However, in recent times, P2E games have lost their fun as the potential of earning incentives has become the major reason for playing them. The Goons of Balatroon promises to be different, and it is preparing to launch a “fun first” play-to-earn game for every gamer. About Goons of Balatroon The Goons of Balatroon (GOB) is

About Goons of Balatroon
The Goons of Balatroon (GOB) is a hybrid metaverse project with a 2D/3D interface. It offers users access to a free-to-play/earn blockchain game that infuses trading card strategies and land ownership. GOB promises to bring players “fun first,” then earning opportunities.
The GOB game is being built with Unity and the Ethereum blockchain and Immutable X Layer 2 solution to support the NFTs it offers. The game allows players to own and control in-game NFTs required for game functions. These NFT rewards create room for more earning opportunities and can be traded on secondary NFT marketplaces.
The game integrates functional NFTs into its platform to improve gameplay and boost engagement. These assets are not prerequisites for joining the GOB ecosystem or playing the game.
The assets include the Goon Characters, which are in-game avatars that differentiate one player from another and guarantee superior play-to-earn rewards. Since they are NFTs, no two Goon Characters can be exactly alike.
For each Goon, a Goon Bod can be minted, which are body enhancement NFTs that players utilize to customers their avatar.
Other key NFTs are Goon Cards, which allow users to play the game and understand the ecosystem. The cards are not all NFTs, but the NFT-based ones are the most valuable and desired among all.
One thing that makes GOB stand out in the market is that it aims to reduce the barriers to entering the current play-to-earn gaming ecosystem. It does this by providing gaming experiences to users via a free play-to-earn model.
It also encourages inclusion, allowing Web 2 gamers to access the features on its Web 3 platform without a crypto wallet. Hence, its 2D/3D hybrid interface serves users from both gaming spaces.
Additionally, GOB improves the efficiency of its metaverse platform and gaming platform by integrating ImmutableX, a Layer-2 scaling solution. ImmutableX helps GOB to enhance users’ gaming experiences, support instant transactions with zero gas fees.
The GOB development team is made up of industry professionals with experience in trading card games, NFT games, web, esports, and blockchain development.
The GOB Token
GOB is the native cryptocurrency of the GOB ecosystem that powers the game economy and serves utility and governance purposes. The token has a fixed supply of 750 million GOB.
Gamers can passively actively earn GOB simply by playing or renting out their in-game NFTs to other players and sharing their rewards. Additionally, staking (not-listing) Goons NFTs and Goon Bods grants daily $GOB token rewards.
GOB Receives $2.46M to Pursue its Goals
Last month, Goons of Balatroon completed a funding round that saw it raise more than $2.4 million from investors. The funding included some big names in the industry, including Vulcan Forged, Jun Capital, Merit Circle Inc., and more.
The project will use its fresh capital injection to accelerate the development of its card game and ecosystem. GOB will also leverage its partnerships with investors to access new opportunities.
