Animalia, a web3 trading card game that integrates both physical and digital cards into gameplay, has booted up its Layer 1 (L1) gaming chain on the Avalanche network. This launch becomes a big milestone for the popular free-to-play trading card game. It will provide a dedicated, permanent foundation for the continued development of the distributed Animalia ecosystem. With this new gaming chain powered by AvaCloud, we’re just getting started on bringing innovative benefits directly to players. Look forward to full NFT migration, new $ANIM token airdrop, and new total tokenomics revamp!
Transition to Mainnet
Animalia first went live in testnet on April 10th, 2025. All of this gave the development team a time buffer to iron out the platform’s kinks and gear up for the official move to mainnet. Moving to the Avalanche mainnet is an exciting step forward. It provides a robust and scalable architecture for the growing game population.
The launch features a snapshot toward the NFT transition, allowing for a seamless migration process for current players. This snapshot will serve as a time capsule of the current NFT holdings state. Players can then easily migrate their assets over to the new L1 chain. Our team has toiled behind-the-scenes to facilitate a smooth and vibrant return, with a special focus on health and safety.
New Features and Tokenomics
With the launch of its L1 chain, Animalia introduces a range of new features designed to enhance the player experience and streamline transactions within the game. This upgrade includes an exciting new $ANIM token airdrop. This makes it applicable for both early adopters and whitelisted, active participants within the Animalia ecosystem.
This overhaul in tokenomics is designed to foster a healthier and more equitable economy in the game. Such changes could be applied to token distribution, staking rewards, and other economic incentives. New liquidity pools (LPs) will be created ensuring more liquidity and stability of the $ANIM token.
Animalia will feature its own ANIM DEX Swap for lower gas fees. The ANIM DEX Swap allows players to freely use the native $ANIM token for gas fees. This product integration minimizes the dependence on outside cryptocurrencies, bolstering the token’s importance in the overall game ecosystem.
Benefits for Players
The move to its own L1 chain on Avalanche through X, Y, Z provides a lot of benefits for Animalia players. This dedicated gaming chain provides faster transaction times, cheaper gas fees, and improved scalability to serve the influx of new players and growing transactional volume across the Animalia ecosystem.
Through this expanded multi-sensory experience, players can expect a more dynamic and engaging gameplay, with enhanced performance and less friction. The complete NFT migration ensures players maintain ownership over their unique, valuable digital assets. The updated tokenomics and $ANIM token airdrop introduce some great new incentives and rewards for those who actively participate. Animalia recently launched their L1 chain! This is a big leap in our effort to develop an engaging and fun-filled web3 trading card game.
