The team behind Paradise Tycoon has now confirmed that its native token, $MOANI, will officially go live on August 25. The announcement was made on X and marks a major step for the growing web3 game world built on the Paradise Chain. This comes just days before the token's IDO on 3 launchpads (Avalaunch, Seedify, and Eesee) set to begin on August 22.

$MOANI Is the Heart of the Paradise Chain Ecosystem

$MOANI is the core utility token of the Paradise Chain, a custom Avalanche Layer 1 built to power all games in the Paradise IP. From in-game purchases to staking, crafting, and monetizing user content, $MOANI will be used in every part of the network. The token already plays a role in Paradise Tycoon, which is live and has over 1.2 million installs and more than 5 million trades made between players.

According to the team, players have already spent more $MOANI than was distributed through rewards in certain months. This shows a strong demand for the token even before the official launch. Player activity has now surpassed 100 years of combined playtime.

$MOANI token IDO is happening this week

What to Expect From the $MOANI Token IDO

The $MOANI Initial DEX Offering (IDO) begins on August 22. It will be held across 3 platforms: Avalaunch, Seedify, and Eesee. Registration for the sale started on August 17 and will close on August 21 at 6:00 p.m. UTC. The IDO will raise a total of $450,000, with tokens priced at $0.0022 each.

The sale is split across the three launchpads as follows:

  • Avalaunch: $100,000 worth of tokens
  • Seedify: $250,000 worth
  • Eesee: $100,000 worth

This equals 204 million tokens up for grabs during the public round.

The IDO schedule is structured in multiple rounds:

  • Validator round: August 22, 6:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. UTC
  • Staking round: August 22, 3:30 p.m. – August 23, 6:00 a.m. UTC
  • Booster round: August 23, 6:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. UTC

To take part, users must complete KYC, register, and stake XAVA (if using Avalaunch). Token claims will be available after the IDO ends. Buyers will have access to a 7-day unconditional refund, but this only applies if they do not claim their tokens.

Confirmed: $MOANI TGE on August 25

With the IDO about to begin, the official Token Generation Event (TGE) is now confirmed for August 25. This is when $MOANI will go live and become tradable. The token will also start unlocking for IDO participants at this point.

Public sale buyers will get 40% of their allocation at TGE. The rest will unlock monthly following a 3-month cliff. Other groups like game & UGC rewards will unlock more slowly, over a five-year span.

Only 8.4% of the total 6 billion supply will be in circulation at launch. This does not include liquidity. The initial market cap is set at $1.76 million with $200,000 in launch liquidity.

Paradise Chain: A Connected Game World

Paradise Chain is the backbone of the Paradise Tycoon ecosystem and all future titles. It is built for fast and easy game development using shared tools, and it supports real gameplay between games. That means player items, progress, and avatars move smoothly between different titles.

The entire world runs on $MOANI, linking game activity with blockchain features like NFTs, events, upgrades, and crafting. It also covers gas fees and onchain transfers.

Backers of the chain include Ava Labs, Seedify, and the Google Web3 Startup Program. According to the team, the Paradise IP is being expanded yearly, with more titles already in development.

Paradise Tycoon Is Just the Start

Paradise Tycoon has already made its mark with a large player base and high daily activity. It's a life-sim MMO with crafting, building, and social features. Players trade tools, fish, farm crops, and decorate their islands.

The next title from the same universe is Paradise Legends, a casual action RPG. It was first introduced as an in-game event and is now being built into a full game. The team plans to release it in beta in Q3 2025. Another unannounced title is expected in 2026.

All of these will use the same tech stack, economy, and token. This helps make game development faster and keeps the player base inside one shared universe.

Paradise Cloud Launches Ahead of TGE

In time for the token launch, the team also unveiled Paradise Cloud, a new web platform for the Paradise Chain. This is where players, creators, and investors can access ecosystem tools and features in one place.

With Paradise Cloud, you can stake $MOANI to unlock new features, manage in-game real estate, and monetize with rentals or ads. The platform also includes:

  • A live world map
  • An auction dashboard
  • A UGC and event creation portal
  • A webstore for items and purchases
  • Deep analytics for both game and blockchain data
  • AI support through a virtual assistant called Wally

Claiming Genesis Islands Before TGE

Those who already hold a Genesis Island NFT can still secure a permanent spot for their island on the Paradise Cloud world map ahead of the token launch. These special islands come with larger building space, more resource nodes, and better odds for rare drops. They also feature unique visuals, higher rewards, and long-term benefits like rentals in the future.

Other Ways to Join the Ecosystem

For those without a Genesis Island NFT, there are still ways to get involved before the token launch. A Paradise Pass offers the chance to earn passive $MOANI after TGE. Another option is joining the game's Discord to collect Tycoon Points and earn NFT rewards. Tycoon Points can be spent in the Discord Shop or saved to unlock exclusive perks, giveaways, and higher ranks.

Console Releases and Future Plans

Paradise IP games are also coming to consoles. According to the team, the titles are being ported to PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Bonus Stage Publishing, a known web2 game publisher, is supporting this effort.

With each new game adding more content to the Paradise Chain, the ecosystem is set to grow into a fully linked, multi-platform world. Everything will use $MOANI as the central currency.

Aiming for Growth Through Connected Design

The team behind Paradise Tycoon, Empires Not Vampires, has worked together since 2017. They say their goal is to make web3 games with shared systems, easy cross-game play, and a working economy powered by a single token.

As the TGE approaches, players and investors have one last window to enter the ecosystem before the token goes live. Whether it's through staking, land, or gameplay, there are multiple ways to join ahead of the upcoming launch.
