Modular AI-based layer 1 blockchain HeLa Network and modular multi-game platform Funton.ai have announced that they have teamed up to drive new innovative experiences in decentralized and AI gaming.

Both sides will bring their own set of expertise to this strategic collaboration to deliver new on-chain and AI-powered gaming experiences that push the boundaries of web3 gaming. Thanks to this partnership, HeLa and the projects its partnered with can make use of the gaming platform’s GaaS (GameFi-as-a-Service) model to seamlessly integrate tap to earn mini-app games, potentially driving user growth and engagement for the layer 1 chain and the projects building on it. Partners building on the AI network can thus look forward to easily deploying gamified experiences on the TON-based gaming ecosystem, making their projects more accessible to a wider gaming audience.

More details on what this partnership brings is set to be revealed over time.

Play to Airdrop $FUN on the Funton.ai Platform

Funton is a modular gaming ecosystem on the TON network focused on building a decentralized GameFi platform that merges AI with gaming. It’s described as being “the pump.fun of GameFi” in the TON ecosystem, and is aiming to give players a variety of ways to earn while enjoying numerous casual mobile games on Telegram, as well as on the LINE messenger, one of the biggest messaging platforms in Asia that plans to add in more than 1000 dApps by the end of 2025.

That being said, this multi-game platform can be accessed through the two aforementioned messaging apps, allowing anyone to easily start playing and earning various rewards through tapping and spinning mechanics across a vast array of web3-powered games. Rewards include USDT and tokens from their partners such as Mantle ($MNT), ChainGPT ($CGPT), and more.

By playing mini-games now and completing various tasks, you also get to earn FUN Points, which are set to be converted to the upcoming $FUN token, the core native token of the Funton.ai gaming platform. While a TGE date does not seem to have been revealed at the time of writing, the tokenomics do seem to be already known. Anyone can already check out how the token’s total supply is set to be allocated, as well as see what the vesting schedule looks like. According to the tokenomics page in the official whitepaper, the $FUN token is set to be distributed across the following categories: Play to Earn, Staking, Treasury, KOL Round, Team, and Liquidity / Marketing.

The Play to Earn category makes up 50% of the token’s total supply, with 8% of it unlocking at TGE, followed by a 6-month linear vesting period. Staking takes up 25% of the supply, but has a 0% unlock at TGE, as it comes with a 1-month cliff after which tokens are linearly released over the course of 24 months. The same vesting schedule applies for the Treasury, which has 18.5% of the supply allocated. The KOL Round consists of 3% of the supply, with 10% of it unlocking at TGE, while the rest is linearly unlocked for 6 months.

As for Liquidity / Marketing, that is said to have an allocation of 1.5% coupled with a 10% unlock at TGE and a linear vesting schedule of 12 months. Last but not least is the Team, who hold 2% of the supply, but have a 0% unlock at TGE, with tokens said to be locked for 12 months, after which they linearly unlock for 36 months.

Considering the tokenomics page was last updated 4 months ago as of writing, and there doesn’t seem to be a TGE date yet, the tokenomics info may or may not change over time. If you want to get an allocation of $FUN tokens for free though, then you should probably dive into the platform’s Telegram and LINE apps as soon as possible to play to airdrop the upcoming token while potentially earning other rewards along the way.
