Funtico ditches TICO, plants PLAYR token on Robinhood Chain

Funtico has retired its TICO token and launched PLAYR in its place, with the new token trading on Robinhood Chain via Uniswap v4. The studio announced the switch in a five-post thread from its @funtico_com account on Nov. 8, calling it a strategic move to Robinhood Chain. According to the thread, PLAYR sat at a market cap of roughly $3.2 million at the time of writing.

Funtico published the contract address as 0x775FD5a987bf3ff5e205DEABDe6634ddceE3a3FC. The studio said it has renounced ownership of the contract and shared a Robinhood Chain explorer transaction as proof, adding that the liquidity tokens will be burned the following week.

Existing funtico.com account holders simply log in and claim their tokens, per the thread. For anyone holding TICO in an outside wallet, Funtico runs a migration at migrate.funtico.com, complete with live support. The studio snapshotted Avalanche wallet balances on Nov. 4, 2026 at 14:00 CET, when it put TICO's fully diluted valuation at $160,000. No TICO-to-PLAYR conversion ratio appeared in the thread, and migration closes at 00:00 UTC on Feb. 1, 2027.

There's no ambiguity about the old token's future. The thread states that TICO tokens will no longer be used in any Funtico ecosystem products or services. Funtico listed six areas where PLAYR will do the work, including publishing infrastructure, bringing on new games and developers, and esports markets run through Lucky Funatic that blend competitive gaming with token-powered participation. It also pointed to AI features, EVM compatibility that opens the door to DeFi and trading apps on the chain, and multiple buyback mechanics.

A page at playr.funtico.com spells out more uses: in-game purchases, marketplace transactions, micro-payments for AI inference, tournaments, and a Publisher-as-a-Service offering for developers. It says 50% of any purchased Bundle goes toward PLAYR buybacks. PLAYR trades on Uniswap against ETH or USDG on Robinhood Chain, while Bundles can be paid for in USDC, USDT, SOL, ETH, BNB, BTC and AVAX. The page carries no total supply figure or tokenomics breakdown.

TICO launched its token generation event in January 2025 as an ERC-20 on Avalanche C-Chain with a fixed 10 billion supply, later bridged to Ethereum, Polygon and Base. It started trading on Jan. 27, 2025 on Gate.io, MEXC Global, BitMart and Uniswap. Robinhood Chain, meanwhile, is an Ethereum layer 2 built on Arbitrum's Orbit stack; its public testnet opened in February 2026 and mainnet went live on July 1, 2026. Anyone can deploy there, so a token's presence doesn't mean Robinhood endorses it. Funtico says new games, platform features, buyback programs and partnerships are already lined up, though it gave no dates and said they'll be showcased in future posts.
