Introduction: Forging a New Path in Web3 Gaming

Koroshi has launched a brand-new project that merges dynamic NFTs, immersive gaming, and blockchain technology into a unified ecosystem. By launching its own Layer-1 (L1) blockchain on Avalanche and utilizing AVAX as the native gas token, Koroshi has set a new precedent in the Web3 space and gaming altogether. This strategic move not only simplifies user experience but also enhances interoperability within the broader Avalanche ecosystem.​


The Challenge: Balancing Sovereignty with Ecosystem Integration

As Koroshi expanded its vision to include dynamic NFTs and interactive gameplay, the limitations of operating solely on shared chains became apparent. The need for a sovereign blockchain was clear — one that could support immersive mechanics, custom logic, and on-chain evolution.

However, launching a new token presented familiar hurdles: liquidity provision, user adoption friction, and added economic complexity. At the same time, speed to market was critical. To meet roadmap deadlines and community expectations, the team needed an infrastructure solution that could offer out-of-the-box tools, automated deployment, and production-ready performance — without waiting months for custom engineering.

The Solution: AvaCloud and AVAX-Native Gas Token

Instead of launching with a new utility token—which would introduce liquidity challenges, speculative pressure, and added development overhead—Koroshi became the first Layer-1 on Avalanche to launch using AVAX as the native gas token.

The Advantages of Using AVAX as Gas:

  • Instant Ecosystem Access

  • Koroshi could tap directly into Avalanche’s existing wallets, bridges, DEXs, and tooling—no extra integrations or implementations required.

  • Familiar UX for Users

  • No need to onboard users to a new token, explain unfamiliar mechanics or think about complex tokenomics. If you’ve used AVAX before, you’re ready to interact with Koroshi’s L1.

  • Operational Efficiency: Avoiding a gas token launch gave Koroshi the freedom to focus entirely on product, gameplay, and ecosystem growth—without worrying about economic levers too early.


Enhancing Interoperability with ICTT

Koroshi utilizes AvaCloud's Interchain Token Transfers (ICTT) to enable seamless NFT bridging between the Avalanche C-Chain and its custom L1. This functionality allows users to transfer their NFTs effortlessly, maintaining asset integrity and expanding utility across chains.​

Building a Dynamic Ecosystem

Koroshi's ecosystem is designed to offer a rich, interactive experience:​

  • Dynamic NFTs: NFTs that evolve based on user interactions and achievements. 

  • Interactive Gameplay: Features like Tribe Wars and Clan Wars encourage community participation and competition.

  • Koroshi Studio: A platform for creating and managing real-world assets (RWAs) within the Koroshi ecosystem.​

Stats & Ecosystem Activity

Koroshi’s early traction signals strong user engagement and cross-chain momentum::​

  • 2,000 Total NFTs Minted across two collections

    • Shadow Temple: 954/1,000 minted

    • Sacred Temple: 966/1,000 minted

    • ~80 unrevealed NFTs remaining

  • 4,600+ Daily Battles (Off-Chain) — showcasing consistent user engagement and game activity

  • AVAX-Native Gas Adoption across all interactions — reducing onboarding friction and enhancing ecosystem accessibility

This level of activity demonstrates how Koroshi is building a deeply engaged player base while leveraging AvaCloud’s L1 infrastructure for scale, speed, and seamless interoperability.


Results: A Seamless and Scalable Web3 Experience

  • First AVAX-Native L1: Koroshi is the first project to launch an Avalanche L1 using AVAX as the native gas token.

  • Enhanced NFT Interoperability: ICTT enables smooth NFT transfers between chains, expanding user engagement.

  • Robust Ecosystem: A comprehensive platform that combines gaming, NFTs, and RWAs, offering users a multifaceted Web3 experience.​


Conclusion: Setting a New Standard in Web3 Gaming

Koroshi's innovative approach to building a sovereign, AVAX-native L1 with seamless NFT interoperability sets a new benchmark in the Web3 space. By leveraging AvaCloud's infrastructure and focusing on user-centric design, Koroshi has created a scalable and engaging ecosystem that redefines digital ownership and community interaction.​
