The free-to-play web3 MMORTS, Pulsar, is set to officially launch on the mainnet on Friday, October 18th. However, until November 1st, players have the opportunity to purchase Genesis Units, with a sale that began on September 20th. This sale features various limited supply NFTs designed to assist players in mining the game’s $PLSR token.
Updates in Pulsar’s Mainnet Launch
The game, powered by Avalanche, will remain in its early access phase. During the transition to mainnet, the refined $tPLSR tokens mined in the testnet will be converted into actual $PLSR tokens that players can mine within Public Land plots. Notably, this mainnet launch also serves as the Token Generation Event (TGE) for $PLSR. Additionally, developers plan to introduce an updated demo of the “Hold the Base” concept and tutorial, showcase a new unit, offer previews of unit upgrades, and more. The second version of the mainnet is expected to roll out shortly after on November 1st, with further details to be disclosed later.
Testnet Achievements and Gameplay Opportunities
As of July this year, Pulsar has seen over 500 million transactions recorded on its Avalanche subnet. The latest announcement reveals this number has now surpassed 620 million. The testnet has been operational for over a year, and players can still join the adventure for free by downloading the game from its official website, available for Windows PC and Mac. Engaging in the testnet allows players to familiarize themselves with game mechanics and token extraction, although testnet assets will not be transferred to the mainnet. Instead, new free common packs will be distributed to free-to-play participants, with all players starting with Level 1 assets for a fair launch.
Understanding $PLSR: The Game’s Core Token
$PLSR serves as the primary currency within the Pulsar game ecosystem that players can only earn through gameplay. Players can mine Raw Pulsar using specific units on their Lands, subsequently refining it into actual $PLSR tokens. These tokens are essential for various in-game activities, including:
- Upgrading NFTs
- Enhancing units and buildings
- Making purchases in the official marketplace and in-game shop
- Participating in PvP matches
All expenditures contribute to the game’s treasury, which in turn sustains the economy by converting tokens into Raw Pulsar for players to mine.
Tokenomics of $PLSR
The detailed tokenomics for $PLSR have yet to be publicly released. However, during a recent AMA on September 26th, Pulsar’s CEO, Alvaro Martin, and Game Director, Fernando Claros, discussed key details about the tokenomics and Genesis Units. Although the comprehensive document covering tokenomics is not available, some details were shared during the stream:

Land Ownership and its Implications
Nearly half of the total token supply is reserved for “Lands with Pulsar,” where owners can enable free mining access while establishing resource taxes. Initial land availability was limited to early supporters, with future sales contingent upon reaching player milestones, like 50,000 players in the mainnet.
Introducing Pulsar Genesis Units and Structures
Genesis Units and Structures are exclusive NFTs boasting enhanced stats compared to standard units. Their upgrade potential makes them a powerful asset, enabling significant advantages in $PLSR mining. A Genesis Miner, for instance, can mine Raw Pulsar at a staggering 700% quicker rate than a Common Miner. The same applies to Genesis Refineries, which can process Raw Pulsar more efficiently as well.
For further insights on how Genesis assets can amplify your gaming experience, check out the official thread. You can secure these limited NFTs before the Pulsar L1 Mainnet launches on October 18th by visiting the Genesis Drop section on the official website, referenced in this tweet. Depending on the game’s growth trajectory, more Genesis NFTs may be introduced in the future.
