TOKYO BEAST builds an inclusive ecosystem bridging AAA Web2 gaming and Web3 features. Enjoy futuristic Tokyo 2124 with an NFT PROXY Model and TGT utility.
TOKYO BEAST is building an ecosystem where both Web2 and Web3 players can enjoy a futuristic Tokyo of 2124. By merging the familiar polish of AAA game design with practical Web3 features—like NFT ownership and crypto-based transactions—the experience aims to open the door for traditional and Web3 gamers.
You'll find a dual-system structure, an innovative NFT Proxy Model, and a core token economy anchored by the TOKYO GAMES TOKEN (TGT). This article looks at how TOKYO BEAST, launching this Spring, aims to bring a fresh buzz to the global gaming scene.
The Setting and Concept
Set in Tokyo, Japan, in the year 2124, TOKYO BEAST introduces you to a world where sentient androids called replicants support society. Most humans enjoy the comforts of passive income generated through replicant ownership. This era, referred to as the "INCUBATION OF REPLICANTS," sees rapid growth in the android market, with humans maintaining a higher social rank.
During this period, a project called TOKYO BEAST emerges. The once-popular replicant model known as "BEAST" (originally linked to an NFT from a century ago) is upgraded and returned to market.
Humans acquire these BEAST NFTs for potential profit. At the same time, lower-tier replicants rely on "copies" called PROXY BEAST in the street sport XENO-karate. The result is a layered hierarchy where humans remain investors and replicants battle for social mobility through competition.

Two Systems: BASE and TRIALS
Now, let's break down the two distinct systems in TOKYO BEAST: BASE and TRIALS. These systems ensure that you can engage on multiple levels, whether you're a crypto-focused player or a gamer seeking high-stakes competition.
BASE
This is where you acquire and manage BEAST NFTs.
You can obtain them through a gacha mechanism (randomized draws) or by breeding existing BEASTs.
Once minted, a BEAST NFT automatically enters the BEAST pool, making it available for TRIALS.
TRIALS
This is where the real action unfolds.
Players who do not own an original NFT can draw PROXY BEAST from the BEAST pool via gacha, allowing them to participate without an upfront investment.
Competitive events (like XENO-karate tournaments) happen regularly, allowing you to prove your skills and win rewards.
Both systems work in tandem. If you only care about collecting or investing, you can focus on BASE. If you'd rather jump into gameplay, TRIALS offers immediate action. TOKYO BEAST fuses both aspects, reflecting the project's vision of integrating Web3 and Web2 audiences.
XENO-karate: A New Sport for Replicants
XENO-karate stands at the center of TRIALS. This intense street competition has replicants battling each other with their borrowed PROXY BEAST. The top players move closer to social freedom, and you (as a human investor) can benefit from their success if you own the original BEAST NFT.
Key Points of XENO-karate
Weekly Tournaments: The best fighters face off in globally live-streamed matches.
Daily Games: You can place predictions using TOKYO GAMES TOKEN (TGT) on weekdays, not just during special events.
Ongoing Player Engagement: XENO-karate ensures that there's always a match around the corner, giving both gamers and investors consistent opportunities to participate.
NFT PROXY Model: Lowering Entry Barriers
Some games force you to buy expensive NFTs before you can start playing. TOKYO BEAST uses a different tactic: the NFT PROXY Model.
Here's how it works:
BEAST NFT: Original tokens that can be purchased, bred, and sold within the BASE system.
PROXY BEAST: Copies (created automatically) that go into TRIALS. Players can pick them up via gacha, free from the high cost of initial NFT ownership.
Your BEAST NFT's value correlates with how well its PROXY performs in XENO-karate. This ensures real-world validation of each NFT's worth, as success in-game boosts its reputation. Contrast this with standard NFT projects, where value often hinges on hype or speculation.
The NFT PROXY Model attaches your NFT's price to measurable performance, potentially attracting new users who appreciate tangible, gameplay-based rewards.

TGT: The Platform Token That Powers Everything
Next, let's examine TOKYO GAMES TOKEN (TGT)—the platform token for unifying the game's economy. Unlike conventional one-game tokens, TGT aims to serve multiple AAA titles that will launch on its platform over time.
Currency Across Games: TGT acts as a common thread, so you can use it across various titles on the TGT Platform.
Staking and Rewards: By staking TGT, you might earn on-chain items or even have a chance to receive BEAST RAWDISK NFTs.
Voting and Governance: TGT empowers holders to influence development decisions (for example, selecting certain game features or breeding mechanics).
Buyback Mechanism: Part of the revenue from in-game currency purchases flows back into buying TGT, theoretically preserving its long-term value.
Expanding Beyond a Single Game: The TGT Platform Modules
Then comes the TGT Platform, designed to host multiple AAA projects. TOKYO BEAST is just the beginning. By consolidating different genres and titles under one chain (with TGT as the unified currency), the platform aims to deliver both expansion and risk diversification. Below are some planned modules for Q3 2025 to expand the utility of the game and token:
CLASH: A daily mini-game prediction system.
FUSION: Collaborations with popular NFT projects, anime, and manga, leading to limited-edition BEAST NFTs.
ITEMIZE: Physical merchandise tied to the game's lore, bridging your digital and real-world interests.
CARDS: Physical trading cards featuring BEASTs, introducing a simpler offline battle format.
ANIMATION: Cinematic works that broaden the TOKYO BEAST story.
PARTY: Live events spotlighting big tournaments and exclusive VIP gatherings for certain NFT owners.
SPACE: Real-world shops and collaborations with commercial venues, bringing the universe of TOKYO BEAST to physical storefronts.
TGT is the "glue" that holds these modules together. Each project expands the utility of TGT, encouraging continuous growth in its user base.
Bringing Web3 to the Next Level
Unlike smaller Web3 projects that struggle to compete with major studio productions, TOKYO BEAST hopes to merge the best of both worlds: blockchain innovation and top-tier game development. TOKYO BEAST has also recently partnered with leading Web3 Gaming platform, Immutable.
Previous Web3 games introduced ideas like "Play to Earn" but often lacked the essential element of genuine enjoyment. TOKYO BEAST aims to fix that. Focusing on gameplay depth, narrative intrigue, and real economic incentives (tied to TGT), it seeks to demonstrate that Web3 can be entertaining and profitable.
