Web3 development studio Moku has officially launched Season One of Grand Arena, introducing a 24/7 AI-powered fantasy gaming league.

The announcement, shared on Moku’s X account, reveals a $1m (~£740,000) prize pool for players competing in daily and weekly contests featuring autonomous AI Mokis. 

According to Moku, Season One runs through mid-May 2026, with players earning Moku XP (mXP) by joining contests, training Mokis, collecting cards, and climbing leaderboards. The system aims to reward consistency and strategy, making sure the most engaged players take home the biggest slices of the prize pool.

AI-Driven Fantasy Competition with High Stakes

Unlike traditional fantasy leagues tied to real-world schedules, Grand Arena operates continuously, allowing participants to strategise, draft line-ups, and earn rewards around the clock.

Moku explained that Grand Arena uses a daily fantasy contest format where participants submit five-card lineups to compete in free or paid events using the platform’s Gems currency. 

Mokis perform autonomously, generating results that determine leaderboard positions. Players finishing in the top 20% receive top-heavy rewards, while those in the top 50% share a fixed prize pool.

Card rarity significantly impacts performance. Basic cards provide a 1.0x multiplier, while Legendary cards can reach 1.75x, offering collectors an advantage. 

Additionally, Moki NFT holders can enhance their athletes’ stats, earning up to 168 mXP per week. Champion Moki owners benefit further by collecting ongoing royalties from card pack sales during the season. 

The platform uses Gems as in-game currency for free or paid contests. Grand Arena combines collectible cards, NFTs, and DeFi-style rewards, putting the league at the heart of AI gaming, prediction markets, and global daily fantasy.

What is Moku?

Founded in 2021, Moku is the creator of the Moki IP, featuring a playful, trickster Tanuki at the heart of a lively Web3 universe.

A key partner in Ronin, Moku built the game distribution stack powering the ecosystem and now expands its vision with Grand Arena, a 24/7 fantasy platform that lets fans take part, compete, and earn value from the world they help grow.

Moku first revealed the Grand Arena concept via its X account on September 22nd, 2025, positioning it as a nonstop AI-driven fantasy sports platform. At that time, the studio confirmed its $1m inaugural reward pool and detailed the use of AI athletes to generate ongoing data for contests.

Grand Arena is Moku’s AI-driven fantasy battler. It combines collectible cards, NFTs, and a compounding DeFi-style reward loop.
