Goons of Balatroon Release Powerhouse Token
Crypto Gaming startup, Goons of Balatroon, announces Token Generation Event (TGE) following their 2.46 million dollar raise, as the $GOB utility token gets a release date of August 31st, 2022. Poolz and Gamefi will be facilitating IDOs for the project, directly preceding the TGE, these IDOs will take place on the 30th. The token has a total supply of 750,000,000 and has no token taxes affiliated with usage or trading. $GOB will be listed on Uniswap V3 (Polygon) and Gate.io.
The capital raised from the $GOB fundraising rounds sets the Goons of Balatroon project on a path to providing a premier crypto/NFT gaming experience and to build a comprehensive metaverse ecosystem with the $GOB token at its center. Goons of Balatroon Co-founder Mark Turetski said: “There is a real desire in the crypto gaming industry for a more dynamic and substantial experience, users are tired of dull games, our focus here at Goons of Balatroon is on fun, function, and sustainability.”
The Goons of Balatroon seek to build an expansive gaming ecosystem that will welcome traditional gamers, web 3, crypto natives, and collectors of non-fungible tokens, NFTs. Their flagship product, sharing the Goons of Balatroon namesake, is their first addition to this ecosystem, a trading card game (TCG) that users of games such as Hearthstone, Yu-gi-oh, Pokemon, and Magic the Gathering will find familiar, while introducing exciting new concepts and play styles. Both the TCG and the ecosystem alike will utilize the soon to be released $GOB token.
About the Goons of Balatroon Project
The Goons of Balatroon were founded in late 2021 and launched their initial NFT collection of 9696 profile picture avatars. This collection served as the gateway into the diverse and complex ecosystem the small, yet scrappy team was building. With funds secured via the sale of the NFT collection the team was able to grow to a team of 30+ individuals with experience in crypto, marketing, development, art, and professional gaming. The development of the TCG has reached early BETA and is open to holders of the project’s NFT collection, to rave reviews. In a gaming environment filled with lackluster reviews of pre-ordered titles, the Goons team receives accolades from its community for its utilization of feedback and comprehensive patches. In the NFT gaming environment focus is placed on token yield over playability, a strategy that the crypto bear market has punished. Though the team embraces the play to earn concept, they state that the focus must be on fun first. The ecosystem seeks to provide a place for a diverse set of crypto audiences. From token aficionados, gamers, yield farmers, stakers, to collectors, the team is confident there will be something in the ecosystem to captivate just about anyone.
About GOB
The Goons of Balatroon’s utility token carries the project’s abbreviated moniker, the $GOB token. It powers the ecosystem’s beating heart and serves many purposes. Eschewing the two token model, in favor of a single token, the $GOB token provides both governance and utility while serving as the ecosystem’s reward token. Even in its off-chain form the token is proving to be packed with utility, with over 20 million $GOB spent to purchase NFT card packs for the TCG, and over 10 million tokens spent on the World of Balatroon NFT land sale. It is set to bring even more vibrancy to the project’s ecosystem. The token will launch on the Ethereum chain but also on the Polygon network, a layer 2 blockchain enabling low-gas transactions . $GOB will serve as the reward token for the game’s play to earn mechanic, and also allow users to customize their playing experience via effects, cosmetics, emotes, and more. The token will provide additional access to future NFT collections and allow users continued access to the NFT trading cards. $GOB will provide ecosystem-wide functions that will allow users to influence the metaverse’s intricacies through interactions and game theory based decisions, enabling users to strategize with other community members to tilt ecosystem outcomes in their own favor. Finally, the token will put power back in the hands of the users, as it provides governance utility, allowing holders to influence the team’s focus and direction.
Forward-Looking Statements
The Goons of Balatroon will conduct their land sale mint, further enhancing their ecosystem’s utility. The continued focus will be on the development of their flagship product, the Goons of Balatroon Trading Card Game. Currently in early access for holders of their NFT collection, the team’s next benchmark goal is the rollout of the early access stage to all participants, regardless of NFT holdings, or lack thereof. The team’s focus is on the introduction of the game to traditional gamers, via a streamlined process, involving email logins, free to play functionality, and no required knowledge of crypto or NFTs; the project will also provide educational resources to allow these traditional gaming audiences to discover crypto and NFTs at their own speed and desire. The project looks to continue establishing itself as a premium gaming ecosystem and continue to add utility, unique gameplay, and a fun-focused experience that puts power back in the hands of players.
