Built by Empires Not Vampires

Paradise Chain was developed by Empires Not Vampires, the studio behind Paradise Tycoon. The Avalanche-based Layer 1 chain is designed specifically for gaming, offering a unified ecosystem where titles are interconnected through shared tools, gameplay mechanics, and in-game assets. The chain allows for smoother development cycles, interconnected economies, and seamless progression across games.

Backed by Ava Labs, Seedify, and the Google web3 Startup Program, Paradise Chain has received strong support from both blockchain and gaming communities. Paradise Tycoon has already established itself as a successful title, with over 250,000 monthly active players and more than five million in-game trades. It blends MMO life-simulation with building mechanics and user-generated content.

The studio is now preparing its next release, Paradise Legends, a casual action RPG with both PvE and PvP modes. Initially introduced as an in-game event within Paradise Tycoon, it is expected to launch as a standalone title in beta during Q3 2025. A third title, still unannounced, is scheduled for release in 2026, reflecting the studio’s strategy of yearly game launches utilizing shared assets and mechanics.

The $MOANI Tokenomics and Supply

As the native token of Paradise Chain, $MOANI will function across all titles in the ecosystem. It will be used for purchasing items, NFTs, cosmetics, and upgrades, as well as for renting islands, paying transaction fees, and monetizing user-generated content. Early data from beta phases shows strong adoption, with more than 60% of airdropped tokens spent in-game and sustained positive net flow in the token economy.

The total supply of $MOANI is capped at 6 billion tokens. Of this, 30% is allocated to game and UGC rewards, 17% to the team and advisors, 14% to operations and marketing, 10% to liquidity provision, and 23% to seed and private sales. The IDO will distribute 3% of the supply, with another 3% reserved for validator and staking rewards.

At launch, only 8.4% of the supply will circulate, excluding liquidity. The starting market capitalization is projected at $1.76 million, supported by $200,000 in liquidity. Vesting schedules differ across allocations, with public IDO buyers receiving 40% of their tokens at TGE and the remainder distributed monthly after a three-month cliff.

PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch

Paradise Chain’s long-term strategy is to create an interconnected gaming network where each new release adds to the broader ecosystem. With console launches planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch through Bonus Stage Publishing, the project also aims to expand beyond web3-native platforms.

Industry figures have voiced strong confidence in the project. Shima Capital’s Yida Gao emphasized the team’s track record in building engaging games for the midcore genre of web3 gaming. Similarly, Avalanche has highlighted its close collaboration with Paradise Chain since early 2023, pointing to shared goals in expanding the Avalanche ecosystem.

The Token Generation Event will follow the IDO, with an official date to be announced. With upcoming game releases and the integration of $MOANI across the ecosystem, the launch is positioned as a pivotal step in building a connected game world spanning multiple genres and platforms.
