In Brief

Gate.io has launched Puffverse on its Launchpad, with subscriptions set to open on May 13 at 03:00 UTC and token distribution scheduled for the TGE date.

Cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io announced the launch of Puffverse on its launchpad platform. Positioned as more than a conventional gaming platform, Puffverse aims to act as a connector between the Web3 digital space and the Web2 environment, offering a 3D metaverse experience with an entertainment style likened to that of established animation franchises.

The project’s development team includes professionals with backgrounds in major technology firms such as Alibaba and Xiaomi, bringing a high level of technical proficiency and industry experience. Backing from notable investment firms including Animoca, Foresight Ventures, Spartan, and HashKey adds to the project’s credibility and supports its long-term strategic goals.

With its debut on Gate.io Launchpad, Puffverse presents early-stage participants with access to a new GameFi initiative, marked by a combination of immersive design, strategic partnerships, and potential growth opportunities. The following analysis explores the project’s foundational elements, including team composition, tokenomics structure, and broader market positioning.

PFVS Token: Overview, Allocation Structure, And Unlocking Schedule

Created by a development team with prior experience at Xiaomi Games, Puffverse is a GameFi initiative focused on delivering a 3D immersive virtual environment. Departing from conventional single-character game models, Puffverse introduces a multi-character approach designed to explore themes of identity and personalization within gameplay. Central to the platform is the PFVS token, which functions not only as a means of transaction and reward but also plays a strategic role in governance and ecosystem expansion. Its allocation structure and unlocking schedule are designed to promote long-term viability and user engagement across different phases of growth.

Puffverse also addresses both Web2 and Web3 user segments. While Web2 users can access the game using traditional in-app purchase methods—filling a niche in mobile party gaming—Web3 participants can leverage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and tokens through a skill-based earning system, integrating play with economic incentives. Governance is decentralized and operates through smart contracts and community voting mechanisms, aiming to enhance transparency and participatory decision-making.

The total supply of PFVS tokens is capped at 1 billion, with specific allocations distributed across various categories. Strategic and private rounds each account for 10% of the supply, featuring unlocking schedules with initial token generation events (TGE), cliffs, and gradual quarterly releases. Advisor tokens (5.5%) follow a 12-month cliff with monthly unlocking over two years. Marketing tokens (13.5%) are released in portions post-TGE across six to eighteen months. Additional allocations include Community IGO (1%), Liquidity Reserve (8%), Play-to-Earn (18%), Liquidity Mining (6%), Ecosystem Growth (16%), and Team (12%), all following tailored unlock schedules ranging from linear monthly releases to longer-term cliffs.

Puffverse Subscription Opens With Exclusive Benefits On Gate.io Launchpad Debut

PFVS is the first project to be featured on Gate.io’s Launchpad. The platform has opened a commitment round where users can allocate USDT to receive PFVS tokens at a rate of 1 PFVS = 0.07 USDT. The offering includes a total of 10 million PFVS tokens, with an individual cap of 10,000 tokens per participant. The commitment period runs from May 13, 2025, at 03:00 UTC to May 16, 2025, at 12:00 UTC. Token distribution is scheduled for the TGE date, with spot trading expected to begin before the end of May. All distributed tokens will be fully unlocked at that time.

In order to qualify for participation in the subscription process, users must complete identity verification and meet the specified minimum investment threshold. Subscriptions are made in USDT, with a minimum commitment of 1 USDT.

The allocation of tokens is determined proportionally based on the total amount each user commits. Once submitted, the committed funds will be temporarily locked and cannot be withdrawn during the subscription period. After the process concludes, the system will allocate the corresponding number of project tokens based on the final calculation and refund any unused portion of the committed funds to the user’s spot account.

If the number of tokens received is less than the amount initially committed, the remaining USDT will be unlocked and returned automatically. To join the subscription, users must log in to their Gate.io account, complete the identity verification process, navigate to the ‘Launchpad’ section under the ‘Launch’ tab, select the desired project, enter the preferred commitment amount, and confirm the transaction.
