Moku Shifts to Discord Gaming and Prepares for Grand Arena

Moku, the web3 gaming studio known for its bold experiments in decentralized gaming, is entering a brand new era. With the alpha release of Moki Pochi Attack on Discord and the sunsetting of both Moku Questing and Tamameme, the team is setting its sights firmly on one goal—Grand Arena, an ambitious AI battler powered by NFTs.

Let’s explore how Moku is evolving, why this shift matters, and what players can expect from the studio’s new direction.

Moki Pochi Attack Is Now Playable on Discord

Moku’s latest game, Moki Pochi Attack, is now live and fully playable inside Discord Activities. With just a few clicks, players can launch battles by searching for "Moki Pochi" in the Discord app and diving straight into the action.

This alpha release has already gained momentum, with over 10,000 daily users in its previous Moku HQ release. By embedding the game directly into Discord, Moku is aiming to remove friction and reach an even broader audience in the chat-first gaming age.

The seamless gameplay and low barrier to entry are clear steps toward Moku’s goal of making web3 games feel natural and accessible. For fans of blockchain games, this is a sign of a bigger trend—moving the action where the players already are.

Moku Questing Shuts Down, But Progress Lives On

On July 9, Moku officially began the shutdown of Moku Questing, its original task-and-reward system hosted on Moku HQ. This platform had become a popular way for players to complete social missions, earn points, and participate in raffles and in-game events.

But this isn’t the end of questing—it’s a transformation.

The system is moving entirely to Discord, where players will find a new weekly reward shop and integrated mission tools. All existing points, levels, and progress will carry over, so no effort is wasted.

Moku Co-Founder Hantao explained that this change is about focus. The studio is no longer supporting other game launches on Ronin—it’s now building its own titles, and Discord is where the ecosystem will live going forward.

Tamameme Token Launcher to Sunset Soon

Another big change: Tamameme, Moku’s experimental token launcher, will go offline in two weeks.

The frontend website is shutting down, but the smart contract will remain active, which means players can still trade tokens on Katana, Ronin’s decentralized exchange. However, there will be no price display, and the validator responsible for voting and buybacks is also going offline.

Tamameme was a bold project. Launched in January 2025, it allowed anyone to create and trade tokens with no insider deals. Over 13,000 tokens were minted within the first week, with $25 million in trades.

Despite its early success, Hantao admitted that the Ronin chain currently can’t handle the demands of a large-scale token platform. Some leftover Tama tokens will be distributed via Discord rewards, and the team hinted that Tamameme could return in the future in a new form.

All Eyes on Grand Arena

With both Moku Questing and Tamameme winding down, Moku is placing all of its energy into developing Grand Arena—an AI-driven autoplay fantasy battler that aims to redefine blockchain gaming.

Here’s what we know so far:

• NFT characters will be central to gameplay.

• Matches will be controlled by AI agents, with the option for players to watch or fine-tune their strategies.

• Players can earn royalties when their NFT assets are used in battles.

• Moku plans to include multiple gameplay modes, loadout customization, and tournament features.

The goal is to build a system that’s hands-off but strategic, ideal for both casual players and hardcore tacticians. Plus, rewards from the older systems will be repurposed inside Grand Arena and the new Discord shop.

Moku HQ Ends Its Journey

Moku HQ, once the central hub for everything Moku—from games and token launches to social quests—is being phased out. The platform supported over 300,000 players, powered launches on Ronin, and hosted flagship titles like Super Battle Moki and the first Moki Pochi.

It was also home to the Moki Genesis NFT collection, offering early access, airdrops, and exclusive perks.

Now, Moku is shifting away from web tools. Everything is going inside Discord and directly into the games themselves. The new approach is all about tight integration, real-time gameplay, and community-driven evolution.

Backed by Some of Web3’s Biggest Names

Moku isn’t going at it alone. The studio is backed by top-tier web3 investors, including:

• Sky Mavis (creators of Axie Infinity)

• a16z Games Speedrun

• Arca

• Framework Ventures

• 32-Bit Ventures

In late 2024, Moku raised $5.35 million to support this new phase. That funding is now going into Discord-first development and the full build-out of Grand Arena.

What It Means for Blockchain Gamers

Moku’s evolution reflects a broader shift in blockchain games—from experimental tools to fully playable, community-integrated experiences.

Here’s what players need to do:

• Play Moki Pochi Attack directly on Discord.

• Check your questing progress—it’s all moving to Discord.

• Monitor Tamameme tokens via Katana, and watch for rewards in Discord.

• Prepare for Grand Arena, which will become the centerpiece of the Moku universe.

With this pivot, Moku is showing that web3 games don’t need to live in walled gardens or rely on old models. Instead, they can thrive in chat apps, social systems, and AI-enhanced gameplay—offering something truly new for blockchain gamers.
