Once a side menu inside pado.finance, GoStop now launches as its own destination — bringing five games, one-click access, and rewards to the Nasun ecosystem.
Nasun has officially launched GoStop(https://GoStop.app), a dedicated crypto gaming platform that graduates from its origins as a games sub-section within the Pado DeFi exchange into a fully independent product. The move marks one of the more significant structural expansions in the Nasun ecosystem to date — separating gaming from decentralized finance entirely and giving it a home of its own.
For users familiar with Pado, the games menu was always tucked inside a DeFi interface — functional, but an awkward fit alongside swap screens and liquidity pools. GoStop resolves that mismatch by standing alone. The new platform is purpose-built for casual on-chain gaming, with a redesigned experience that prioritizes simplicity above all else: no seed phrases, no complicated wallet setup. Users connect and play in clicks.
Five games at launch
Three original titles — Lottery, Scratch Cards, and Number Match — carry over from Pado’s games section, now refined for the new platform. Joining them are two brand-new additions: Mines, a grid-based risk game where players navigate hidden hazards for escalating rewards, and Crash, the multiplier game where timing your exit before the curve breaks is everything. Both are proven formats in the broader crypto gaming space, and their addition signals GoStop’s ambition to compete beyond its DeFi roots.
Rewards earned across all five games tie back into the broader Nasun ecosystem. Players accumulate rewards simply by playing — turning participation into ownership.
New users can get started without any prior holdings by minting a free Alliance NFT, which serves as an entry point into the Nasun community.
GoStop is live now at GoStop.app. Ecosystem details are available at nasun.io/ecosystem/gostop, and Alliance NFT minting at nasun.io/community/alliance-nft.
Nasun’s Ecosystem and Pado DeFi Leaderboards are live as of 00:00 UTC.
These leaderboards exist to raise engagement, grow our social layer, and create fun competition while helping us stress test, generate bug reports / feedback, and attract new users. Points will be distributed weekly to the top 2000 users on both leaderboards as a reward for helping us grow our community, improve our products, and move forward with real insight.
We have decided to reward everyone in the top 2000 on both leaderboards. With a 12% bounce rate and 11+ minute average sessions across 10k+ users linked to verified social accounts, the data tells us our users are genuinely engaged. We’ll adjust as the ecosystem grows.
Besides the score and rank change, both leaderboards will show who is linked with a social account. The Pado leaderboard will also display the number of trades and volume so visitors can draw their own conclusions on the health of our ecosystem.
New users can mint a free Alliance NFT (no seed phrase, just clicks), explore the user hub with optional daily missions, and try our DeFi platform with spot trading and games. Prediction Markets and Perps are next.
For deeper engagement: report bugs, submit feedback, or drop your post URL in the Creators section. All activity is counted and scored toward leaderboard ranking and points.
If you are already part of Nasun, we hope the leaderboards give you a fun new way to keep contributing. If you are new, we want to hear what you think.
Next up: a major upgrade to the user account page that will enrich the experience and make it clearer than ever what Nasun is building and why it matters for crypto adoption.
Nasun devnet launched on March 4, 2026. Two founders, no external funding, built entirely on personal capital and backed by ten grants and pitch contest wins from Korean government agencies. Pado, our DeFi and gaming platform, followed on April 9. Here is what 40 days of data looks like, what we are building, and why it matters for this space.
The Numbers
What These Numbers Mean
Bounce rate. The industry average for Web3 and DeFi platforms sits between 45 and 60%. A bounce is a user who arrives and leaves without meaningful interaction. The lower the number, the more users are staying and exploring. Nasun is running at 12%. Pado, eight days after launch, is at 6%. Bots interacting with smart contracts do not touch the frontend and do not register in this data at all. What the bounce rate captures is purely human navigation behavior. At 6%, users are arriving and moving through the product. That number reflects the frontend experience on its own terms, with no noise from automated contract activity.
Session duration. The Web3 average sits between 1 minute 50 seconds and 2 minutes 15 seconds. Nasun users are averaging 13 minutes 57 seconds. Pado users are averaging 10 minutes 47 seconds. Session duration at this level indicates that users are not completing a single action and closing the tab. They are navigating, exploring, and staying. That depth of engagement is what separates a product from a campaign.
40-day return rate. Most Web3 projects see significant drop-off after the first week. Early-stage DeFi protocols at equivalent stages, including projects that later became category leaders, typically saw 20 to 30% return rates in their testnet phases. Web3 games, which have some of the strongest retention mechanics in the space, target 40% at Day 30. Nasun’s 40-day average return rate is 68.3%. That figure is not a snapshot. It is an average across the full 40-day window, meaning users came back repeatedly, not once.
Social-linked wallets. 9,500 wallets are connected to verified X or Google accounts. In a space where wallet farming and Sybil activity inflate user counts routinely, identity-linked wallets represent a materially different signal. These are users who connected a real social identity to their on-chain activity. That reduces noise in the data and represents a genuine onboarding success in an environment where most projects struggle to get users past anonymous wallet creation.
A point system is running and users are completing daily missions to earn points. That context matters. What the data shows is that engagement goes well beyond the minimum required to farm points. Session durations of 10 to 14 minutes and return rates of 68% over 40 days are not explained by a points system alone. The behavioral baseline being observed is what the incentive layers will build on when competitive leaderboards and real capital enter the picture.
Why Crypto and Web3 Have an Adoption Problem
The problems are not new. Ecosystems are fragmented, projects are siloed from each other and from users, and the UX barrier is real: seed phrases, bridges, wallets, gas fees, and the cognitive weight of navigating disconnected products that share nothing with each other. Incentive structures are misaligned. Protocols optimize for TVL. Projects optimize for token price. Users sit in the middle as the extractable resource rather than the participants the entire system depends on.
Hundreds of millions of people have touched crypto and walked away. The technology did not fail them. The experience did.
These are not new observations. What has been missing is a product that addresses all three simultaneously rather than solving one and ignoring the others.
A Different Starting Point
Naru is a clinical psychologist with peer-reviewed research on social media behavior and online engagement, and spent a decade in the South Korean film industry as an editor and producer, leading cast and crews from preproduction through theatrical release, with work premiering at Cannes, Berlin, and Venice.
Overclocked spent twenty years as a film director and head of graphics on national television ad campaigns for Microsoft, Nike, and IBM, built a sci-fi multiplayer shooter in Unreal Engine with C++, and has been in crypto since 2017 as a moderator, DAO builder, and developer. He has also owned two restaurants and a 5,000 square foot gourmet market in NYC managing over a hundred employees.
Neither of us came from finance or infrastructure engineering. We came from a foundational question: why do people engage, what makes an experience worth returning to, and what does it feel like to be inside a product that treats you as a participant rather than a metric.
That is not a philosophical position. It is an architectural one. Every mechanic in Nasun, the daily mission structure, the health system, the reputation layer, the way projects access users, the way commerce operates, follows directly from taking that question seriously at the design level.
We are approaching this space and its problems from a fundamentally different perspective. We are looking deeply into the behaviors and desires of all participants, giving ourselves to be creative in our approach, then executing with precision. Our professional backgrounds in delivering high quality products for mass consumption have shaped how we work. The proof is in the experience and the numbers.
We also build fast. We have been creators our whole lives, working at the highest professional level, intense, goal-driven and demanding. Ten government grants from Korean national agencies in two years. A working L1, a behavioral hub, and a DeFi and gaming platform, all on personal capital. We are not waiting for permission from this industry to build what it needs.
What We Are Solving
Fragmentation means users start over with every app. Identity, history, and reputation reset to zero each time. We are building a unified hub where everything a user does across every app and service they activate compounds into a single record that belongs to them. Nothing resets.
UX friction has kept most people who are curious about crypto from staying. zkLogin means entry with a Google or X account. No seed phrase. No wallet setup. No prior crypto knowledge required. The experience has to be as accessible as anything people already use daily.
Misaligned incentives mean the people who build a community capture the least value from it. We are building a system where users, projects, services, advertisers, validators, and token holders all have their interests accounted for separately while having a net benefit for the entire ecosystem. Not because of ideology but because the architecture makes mutual growth the most rational outcome for every participant.
The longer vision is for the Nasun ecosystem to be open to any project from any chain. Move-native projects are the immediate focus. The architecture is built to extend to Solana, EVM, and beyond. The goal is for Nasun to function as the hub of crypto and Web3, a shared identity and distribution layer that any project can integrate with and any user can access from one place.
This is the original promise of Web3. Ownership, participation, an internet that works for the people inside it. That promise got buried under extraction and institutional capture. We are not making a political argument. We are building the product.
What Is Coming
We will now be focusing on our line of products and deepening our relationship with the community while reaching out to others in order to keep growing.
Private testing of Pado’s prediction markets begins shortly. A social app addressing what Web3 social has consistently failed to deliver is in development. More games are coming to Pado. Baram, our AI governance layer, and SPECTRA, our multiplayer shooter, are moving toward private testing. The website is being updated. And the centerpiece of the entire ecosystem, the hub that ties everything together, is getting a full rebrand and a major upgrade that changes how the whole experience feels and operates.
We will also be releasing our litepaper soon.
We are building in public, sharing real numbers, and moving fast because that is what we do.
Nasun is a long play for people who understand what we are building and want to be part of it. If you are here asking when TGE is and when you can flip the NFTs, this is not the project for you. We are looking for people who understand the problems blocking adoption in this space and the scale of work required to solve them. We want long-term partners who want to help build Nasun into a premier ecosystem next cycle.
The community that has been here for 40 days already knows this. This is for everyone who has not found us yet.
Nasun, the Move-based Layer 1 blockchain built for finance, AI, and entertainment, is building Pado Prediction Markets — and is calling on its community to help shape it before launch. Users can now submit market ideas in exchange for points at pado.finance/predict, ahead of private testing that is coming soon.
The initiative marks a major step toward community participation as private testing of the prediction markets draws near. Participants who follow, like, and repost the announcement — and tag two others who predict — are eligible to earn additional points within the ecosystem.
Nasun’s Devnet is currently live, with core infrastructure including a wallet, block explorer, staking, and governance already operational. The project has secured 10 Korean government grants, underscoring its credibility as a serious blockchain initiative with institutional backing.
New users looking to get involved early can mint a free Alliance NFT as part of the Wave 1 community access program at nasun.io/community/alliance-nft. The NFT serves as an on-chain badge of early participation in the Nasun ecosystem.
Busan, South Korea — Gen Sol is pleased to share that its Web3-enabled multiplayer shooter project, SPECTRA, has been selected for the Global Busan Web3 Game Audition, a government-backed support program operated by the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency (BIPA).
The Global Busan Web3 Game Audition supports game projects exploring the integration of blockchain and Web3 technologies. Through a competitive review process, selected teams receive development funding along with consulting, technical guidance, and access to global industry networks to support Web3 game development and platform conversion.
As a selected project, SPECTRA will receive approximately KRW 7 million in development support, as well as participation in an acceleration program that includes Web3 technology consulting, blockchain integration support, token economy and service structure guidance, and global mentoring and demo sessions led by international partners. The program runs from July through December 2025.
SPECTRA is a multiplayer sci-fi third-person shooter built with Unreal Engine 5, featuring PvPvE gameplay, extraction-based modes, and a skill-driven competitive structure. Set within the Gen Sol narrative universe, the project adopts a phased Web3 integration approach that prioritizes seamless gameplay and accessibility. Players can engage without mandatory blockchain onboarding, while optional on-chain ownership and competitive systems are introduced progressively.
Gen Sol plans to use the support from this program to further validate core infrastructure components; including gas abstraction, optional on-chain ownership, and competitive settlement mechanisms, within a live game prototype, while refining sustainable game and economy design ahead of future global testing phases.
“This selection reflects meaningful validation of our technical direction and design philosophy,” said Naru, founder of Gen Sol and Nasun. “The program offers an opportunity to strengthen our Web3 integration strategy while keeping the experience focused on skill-based competition and immersive world-building.”
Busan, South Korea — Nasun announces that the Gen Sol project has been awarded First Place at the 2024 Busan Content Startup Accelerating Program Demo Day, marking a major milestone in the project’s development and validation.
The Busan Content Startup Accelerating Program, operated by the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency (BIPA), is a competitive acceleration initiative designed to support promising content-driven projects through structured consulting, business diagnostics, pitching preparation, and investor-facing demo opportunities. Gen Sol was selected to participate in the program earlier in the year and completed the full acceleration course over approximately four months.
At the final Demo Day, Gen Sol was evaluated alongside other selected participants and ultimately received the top award, receiving a cash prize of KRW 5 million, recognizing its overall competitiveness, clarity of vision, and potential for scalable content development.
Gen Sol is being developed as a narrative-centered IP project within the Nasun ecosystem, with ongoing work spanning multiple content formats. The Demo Day recognition reflects external evaluation of the project’s direction, execution capability, and long-term growth potential.
“We see this result as confirmation that our approach to building original IP with a long-term perspective is resonating beyond our internal team,” said Naru, founder of Nasun and Gen Sol. “The acceleration program provided valuable opportunities to refine our strategy and present Gen Sol within a broader content and business context.”
Nasun plans to build on this momentum by continuing structured development of the Gen Sol project and sharing further updates as additional milestones are reached.

Busan, South Korea — Nasun announces that SPECTRA, a third-person shooter (TPS) project developed under the Gen Sol universe, has been officially selected for the 2024 Game Content Multi-Boosting Support Program operated by the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency (BIPA).
The Game Content Multi-Boosting Support Program is designed to help promising regional game projects advance toward higher production quality and commercial readiness. The program provides tailored, demand-based support across areas such as content enhancement, quality assurance, localization, and marketing, with selected teams receiving structured assistance through designated partner studios.
SPECTRA will receive KRW 13 million in production support, as part of the program. The team plans to allocate the provided support toward external production of key graphical elements, including a new playable map, user interface design improvements, and character asset development, in coordination with a specialized visual production partner.
Developed using Unreal Engine 5 with a C++-based pipeline, SPECTRA is an ongoing multiplayer project within the Gen Sol IP framework. The support from the Multi-Boosting program will be used to further refine the project’s presentation and gameplay environment as development progresses.
“We see this selection as practical support for strengthening the overall completeness of the project,” said Naru, founder of Nasun and Gen Sol. “The program allows us to focus on targeted improvements while continuing internal development at our own pace.”
Nasun will continue development of SPECTRA alongside other Gen Sol projects and will share additional updates as further milestones are reached.
Busan, South Korea — Gen Sol announces that its animation series project has been selected for the 2024 B-CON Startup Commercialization Support Program, operated by the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency (BIPA) under the Busan Content Korea Lab initiative.
The B-CON Startup Commercialization Program is an accelerator-based support program designed to help early-stage content creators and startups validate business models, develop prototypes, and advance toward market readiness. The program provides structured education, expert mentoring, and phased support, including prototype production and marketing assistance, through a competitive, multi-stage evaluation process.
Gen Sol was selected as part of the 2024 cohort with its animated series project within the Gen Sol IP universe. Through the program, the team received KRW 12.5 million in prototype production support for its animation project, following completion of the required education and evaluation stages. The Gen Sol team participated in business model validation and commercialization-focused education, followed by prototype-oriented development support aimed at strengthening the project’s production foundation and long-term viability.
Notably, this marks Gen Sol’s second selection for the B-CON Startup Commercialization Program, following its participation in the 2023 edition. The consecutive selection reflects the project’s sustained development progress and the team’s continued focus on building a scalable content IP with clear commercialization pathways.
“The B-CON program has played an important role in helping us refine both our creative direction and our approach to commercialization,” said Naru, founder of Gen Sol. “Being selected again in 2024 allowed us to further strengthen our animation pipeline and prepare the project for its next stage.”
Gen Sol plans to build on the outcomes of the B-CON program as it continues developing its animation series alongside other projects within the Gen Sol universe. Further updates will be shared as new milestones are reached.
Busan, South Korea — Nasun announces that Gen Sol was selected for the 2024 Content Company Global Marketing Support Program, operated by the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency (BIPA), and has successfully completed an initial phase of international marketing activities as part of the program.
The Global Marketing Support Program is designed to help Busan-based content projects expand their international visibility through tailored marketing initiatives, including overseas promotion, digital outreach, and global business matching. Gen Sol was selected among a limited number of participating content companies based on its original IP assets and global growth potential.
As part of the program, the Gen Sol team received KRW 10 million in global marketing support, and conducted a soft launch of its official X (formerly Twitter) account, running focused outreach activities over a period of approximately three weeks. During this period, the team tested international-facing communication strategies and engaged in collaborative interactions with global crypto and Web3-focused influencers, exploring early-stage visibility and audience response in overseas markets.
This initial marketing phase was designed as a lightweight validation step rather than a full-scale campaign, allowing the team to observe engagement patterns, refine messaging, and assess cross-border interest ahead of future, more structured global initiatives.
“We approached this program as an opportunity to test how Gen Sol communicates in a global context,” said Naru, founder of Nasun and Gen Sol. “Rather than prioritizing scale, we focused on learning, iteration, and building a clearer understanding of how the project is perceived internationally.”
Nasun plans to build on the insights gained from this program as Gen Sol continues to develop its IP and prepares for subsequent stages of global outreach and content release.
In May 2024, Gen Sol was selected for the Small Business IP Empowerment Program, an initiative designed to strengthen intellectual property capabilities and support the sustainable growth of small and emerging businesses.
Through this program, Gen Sol received professional support for the filing of one trademark application, reinforcing the legal protection of its core brand assets. This service at the time rendered was valued approximately at KRW 1 million. As a company developing original game and content IPs, securing trademark rights represents a critical step in building long-term brand value and safeguarding intellectual property.
This selection marks an important milestone in the team’s efforts to establish a solid IP foundation, enabling the company to confidently pursue future content expansion and global market opportunities.
