What Moku currently ships
Grand Arena is the studio's main title on Ronin. It combines card collecting with AI-driven competition and splits into two connected experiences: Moki Manager, where players train and customize AI Mokis that battle automatically in Moki Mayhem, and Card League, where players collect Moki and Scheme Cards for daily tournaments.
Moki Mayhem runs three-on-three auto-battles between two teams. Each Moki’s performance converts into points, and players finishing high on daily leaderboards take the largest share of rewards.
Season One ran 12 weeks from Feb. 20 through mid-May. The $1 million pool was a starting figure, set to grow with ecosystem activity and participation, paid in RON, Gems and mXP.
The presale and preseason
Phase 1 of the Grand Arena presale, structured as a no-loss raffle, closed with 122,310 tickets sold and 12,231,000 RON contributed. Phase 2, the Second Chance Shop, opened Oct. 15.
A four-week preseason followed in November 2025. Training progress and mXP carried into Season One, and the top 100 preseason Mokis became official cards called Champions. Holders of a Champion earn royalties when the card is unpacked or traded.
Ronin announced a Moku Guild Boost Program in January carrying $50,000 in guild grants. Guilds needed at least 10 members to apply and could spend the money on cards, gems, booster boxes and contest entries.
Grand Arena also went live with bRON, a spend-only Apptoken built on Limit Break’s ERC-20C standard and backed 1:1 with RON. It was the third game to adopt the format, after Pixels’ vPIXEL and Axie Infinity’s bAXS.
Behind the studio
Moku began as QU3ST, a quest and gacha platform in the Ronin ecosystem, and ran campaigns with CyberKongz, Axie Infinity, Apeiron and Tribesters before the rebrand. Its creator program has more than 3,000 members.
The Moki Genesis collection consists of 8,888 NFTs on Ronin, built from more than 900 traits around a tanuki character.
The pivot to Grand Arena came with cuts. Moku said it would discontinue Moku Questing and Tamameme to concentrate on the AI fantasy ecosystem, improved Discord tools and a casual puzzle game.
Earlier titles included Super Battle Moki, an asynchronous autobattler in which players assemble teams of small creatures called tamakins and try to reach 10 wins before losing four lives. Its closed beta was limited to Moki Genesis holders.
And the team moves fast when it wants to. Moku built and shipped a rogue-lite on Ronin in 10 days.
