WolvesDAO, arguably the strongest, most well-connected gaming network in the entire crypto space, just launched $WOOF.

Their goal? To build the “aixbt of web3 gaming”.

In simple terms - it’s AI-powered gaming intelligence, and it’s launching on Avalanche.

But does it have real potential? Let’s see 👇

Overview

$WOOF sits at the crossroads of AI and gaming, aiming to "make crypto gaming great again" and serve as a home for those who believe in its future.

At the heart of this initiative is WoofXBT, an AI-powered gaming intelligence agent leveraging WolvesDAO’s proprietary three-year dataset and GamesLab’s analytics platform, which includes:

2,000+ tracked mints, TGEs, and playtests

500K+ Discord messages offering deep crypto gaming insights

3M+ wallets currently monitored

300+ APIs integrated across 7 blockchains at launch

WoofXBT isn’t just another AI bot spamming generic content. Instead, it delivers high-value gaming insights through:

X (Twitter): Posting actionable insights and trends

Telegram Mini-App ("Woof Companion"): Sending personalized gaming updates based on wallet activity (news, mint dates, playtests, etc.)

Tracking over 50+ key gaming metrics, WoofXBT aims to be a real-time gaming oracle rather than an AI that adds noise without value.

The team is clear on their vision: no AI slop.

This is the single biggest priority we have with building WoofXBT - ZERO AI slop. No churning out content just because, no littering peoples' replies with mindless garbage.
Interesting and useful content only. - sparkc

So how do they ensure quality?

Their proprietary dataset isn’t just public information - it includes exclusive insights from partnerships and private Web3 gaming ecosystems that WolvesDAO has cultivated over the years.

This is their competitive edge: a network of relationships that provides access to deeper, more valuable intelligence.

The Wolves' Impact on Web3 Gaming

Beyond the what (technology), the who - WolvesDAO’s reputation and network - are what give $WOOF real credibility.

Since 2021, WolvesDAO has been one of Web3 gaming’s most respected and influential communities, housing:

Top builders + VCs shaping the industry

Elite gamers with deep expertise

Sharp analysts tracking trends before they emerge

They’ve earned their spot in multiple ecosystem airdrops, and their purge system + 300-member hard cap ensures that only high-quality contributors remain.

We’re not a coin, we’re a culture.

$WOOF is simply the natural, financialized extension of their collective intelligence.

Why launch on Avalanche?

Deep relationships and aligned vision.

Avalanche has cemented itself as a top-tier Web3 gaming ecosystem, partnering with major studios like:

Off The Grid

MapleStoryU

Shrapnel

Unlike chains that chase trends and have become more general-purpose, Avalanche has backed gaming through both bull and bear markets. Similarly, WolvesDAO has consistently provided top-tier insights to Web3 games, studios, and VCs - making them the perfect partner for Avalanche’s gaming ambitions.

$WOOF Token & Airdrop Strategy

Despite bearish market sentiment, launching now is a calculated move.

Historically, bear-market launches tend to build stronger foundations for long-term success - avoiding the unsustainable hype cycles that often kill tokens launched in peak bull runs.

They reference successful launches like $KET and $WINK as proof of this strategy.

Airdrop Eligibility

WolvesDAO designed the airdrop to prioritize real gamers over speculators.

Who qualified?

Top 2,500 accounts on the Infinigods Valhalla leaderboard (spanning 110+ connected gaming projects).

Accepted applicants through WolvesDAO’s traditional selection process.

Participants in Steam integration (details here).

Users “rugged” by previous projects, as a form of redemption.

Future Outlook

The launch of $WOOF is WolvesDAO’s proof-of-concept for how a gaming-native community can execute a high-quality token launch.

So far, the signs are strong:

Avalanche’s gaming momentum is accelerating

The Wolves community is more engaged than ever

AI x Gaming is emerging as a major crypto narrative

Whats next?

Future iterations of Woof Terminal in the Telegram app.

Partnership activations, for example, with HoloworldAI to expand the WOOF IP.

Final Thoughts

WolvesDAO’s launch of $WOOF is a perfect fusion of a top-tier Web3 community and one of the strongest gaming ecosystems in crypto.

Their biggest advantage? Their elite network.

The biggest risk? Imo - execution and sector-specific momentum.

Good intentions don’t guarantee success - but the long-term bet is that WolvesDAO will continue building, regardless of market conditions. And if that’s the case, this might just be the beginning.
