From Early Bird to multiplayer: what is being built, how you can take part and when.
A critical source of water and energy. The Grid controls the valley to power its infrastructure and restrict access to vital resources.
An industrial wasteland rich in fuel and abandoned machinery. The Grid occupies the region to secure energy reserves and maintain its war machines.
A fortified archive buried beneath the frozen peaks. The Grid protects the data stored here because it contains fragments of the old world — and secrets that could threaten its control.
The central command structure of The Grid. From here, the AI monitors the population, coordinates its forces and controls the surrounding regions.
You reserve GCORE tokens now and receive a contractual entitlement to later delivery. No GCORE is issued yet; linear delivery starts at the token launch (TGE).
Three projects in development: guidance for the community, traceable game production and a first look at the game world.
The next funding stage: GCORE in six consecutive phases at defined prices.
Phase I$0.04Phase II$0.05Phase III$0.06Phase IV$0.07Phase V$0.08Phase VI$0.09GCORE goes live on BNB Chain: the release of your tokens begins and decentralized trading opens.
What is locked down at launch
The initial DEX liquidity is locked for 24 months with no early-unlock path. The contracts carry no proxies and no upgrade path, and every treasury function runs through the project multisig.
The $0.10 figure is an indicative starting value for the initial liquidity pool, not a promise of a future market price. Final liquidity parameters and the launch date will be announced before the TGE.

THE PRE-ROUND
Ahead of the public presale (start: 01.01.2027), Elementi Studios Labs GmbH opens a small, public Early Bird round. Deliberately limited: reserve GCORE utility tokens at the Early Bird price.
Reserve now. Your GCORE tokens are released from the token launch (TGE, target 01.11.2027).
What you need
Add BNB Smart Chain in MetaMask — MetaMask Help Center ↗
Buy crypto in MetaMask — MetaMask Help Center ↗
In MetaMask, you can add the network in one click under “Additional networks” (search for “BNB”). Wallet screens may differ from the guide.

Example reservation
Up to 24 months only at exceptionally high total funding.
Price per GCORE
Early Bird $0.02 per GCORE; presale phases P1 to P6 from $0.04 to $0.09; first DEX directly after the presale: indicative initial pool price approx. $0.10; CEX: listings after the DEX start, no price fixed.
Token Entitlement recorded · linear release begins at the TGE.
Reserve only in step 3 below. A direct transfer gets you no GCORE reservation.
Your wallet shows these addresses during the purchase: you grant the USDT approval to the contract, and your USDT goes directly to the treasury. If an address differs, do not confirm.

Connect your BNB Chain wallet (e.g. MetaMask, Trust Wallet) holding USDT.
Confirm your country of residence with your wallet signature — that is enough for the Early Bird. Didit KYC is optional.
You are unlocked via your declared country of residence. The later presale requires a full verification — you can already complete it now with Didit. Your Early Bird purchases are not affected.
Set an amount in USDT and confirm the purchase of your Token Entitlement. Your GCORE tokens are calculated live.
SolidityScanThe Early Bird smart contract was reviewed with SolidityScan (CredShields): security score 95.84 (“great”). View the published report. For the public presale, a full manual audit by CredShields is planned.
Use of Funds
The Early Bird round (USD 200k hard cap) prepares the public presale.
Indicative: the specific allocation is at the Company's discretion as per the Terms. GCORE is a utility token; no yield or return is implied.
You receive a Token Entitlement: the contractual right to delivery at the TGE. No tokens are minted yet. Participation requires the Eligibility Check (declaring your country of residence is enough) and isn't available in restricted countries. Binding conditions follow with the Early-Bird Sale Terms & Conditions.
At a glance
The game, the ecosystem around it and the GCORE token — and the team and partners building them.
THE UNIVERSE
Three clearly separated layers: The Grid Awakening is the game. Genesis of the Grid is the ecosystem around it. GCORE is the utility token within that ecosystem.
An original post-apocalyptic game universe built by Elementi Studios Labs.
It starts as a crypto-agnostic singleplayer, with a multiplayer expansion planned.
Singleplayer · 4 Biomes · Multiplayer Expansion
The long-term participation layer surrounding the game world.
It connects community, AI, progression and recognition as the game evolves.
CyberWolf · Progression · Community · Access
The utility token used within the Genesis of the Grid ecosystem.
Use it voluntarily for Genesis Points. Used GCORE is permanently burned.
Genesis Points · GPL · Access · Participation
The Grid Awakening is being developed as a crypto-agnostic game for established PC platforms. No wallet, token or blockchain interaction is required to play. Purchasing GCORE does not constitute the purchase of game content. The Grid Awakening, Genesis of the Grid and GCORE remain legally and commercially distinct.
THE STUDIO BEHIND IT
Elementi Studios Labs GmbH is a Swiss studio building the game world and the ecosystem around it from one hand. Four founders, one vision, one shared universe.
The world isn't built as marketing, but as a real world: chapter by chapter, alongside the game.
What we are building now
Not a promise for 2032: the next stage is already taking shape.
A blockchain record for AI-assisted game production: where AI was used, with which tools and models, and where human creative work shaped the final asset.
The final step before the public launch: independent audit, final legal review, regional assessment and end-to-end validation.
A guided browser journey aboard an in-world train through the four biomes of The Grid Awakening.
A standalone web experience — not an alpha, beta or browser build of the final game.
FROM THE GRID
Your guide through Genesis of the Grid — lore, answers and new story chapters as the presale unfolds.
Token Utility
What GCORE is used for: Genesis Points, the Genesis Progress Level and access within the ecosystem.
From the TGE (target 01.11.2027), you can use GCORE on an ongoing basis within Genesis of the Grid. We keep building — and you can take part from the start.
You use GCORE voluntarily. The amount used is permanently removed from circulation.
Utility starts here.
You receive non-transferable Genesis Points. They determine how far you advance.
GCORE → Genesis Points
Your points move you through a 36-month programme. Higher levels unlock rarer access, experiences and recognition.
3 Layers · 6 Rarities · 36 Months
Community experiences, selected game-related opportunities, founder recognition and, later, the MP Hub.
Community · Recognition · MP Hub
GCORE is not required to play The Grid Awakening and carries no promise of yield, return or profit. Genesis Points and the Genesis Progress Level represent ecosystem progression and access only.
The higher you climb over the 36 months, the rarer the access, experiences and recognition you unlock in three parallel layers.
Connects your progress with the game world. As development advances, you can unlock selected access, testing, participation and recognition.
Takes your progress beyond the game: community spaces, events, selected ecosystem activities and ways to take part across the Genesis network.
Lasting recognition for those who supported Genesis of the Grid in its formative years. You can unlock increasingly visible founder status and permanent recognition.
Some benefits become available step by step as Genesis and The Grid Awakening develop. Availability may depend on the development stage, eligibility and final implementation.
How the 700M GCORE are distributed, how the presale works and how your tokens are released after the TGE.
Tokenomics
How the 700M GCORE are distributed. Hover a slice for detail.
GCORE has a fixed maximum supply of 700 million tokens. The Early Bird and Presale allocations are minted only to the extent sold. Early Bird tokens not sold by 31 December 2026 roll over into Phase VI of the presale; tokens unsold at the end of the presale are never minted. No yield or return is implied.
WHAT'S NEXT
After the Early Bird round, the public presale follows in six phases — each reveals a lore chapter, the finale opens two.
The presale starts on 01.01.2027 — once the smart-contract audit and the final legal review are complete. Prices, phases and conditions are already laid out in the roadmap below.
THE SIX PHASES
Each phase activates in turn — the counter goes live per phase.
The public presale runs under its own, more comprehensive framework — with additional regulatory documents and a full smart-contract audit. Until the minimum target (softcap) is reached, 100% of the contributions stay locked in the smart contract and are not released to the company; if it isn't reached, participants can reclaim their contribution themselves within a 180-day window. Details will be provided before the start.
TGE & delivery
What happens to your GCORE tokens, step by step.
Connect the wallet you took part with to see your reserved GCORE and recorded contribution.
GCORE is created on the blockchain.
Even release, calculated to the second, with no waiting period.
We plan to provide liquidity on a decentralised exchange.
How long your release runs
Set once at the close of the presale, by the total amount raised, and the same for Early Bird and presale participants. More funding means a longer release.
One month is counted as exactly 30 days. The tier is locked in at finalisation and cannot be shortened afterwards — not by the team, not by the company.
Example: 12,000 GCORE over 12 months is roughly 1,000 GCORE per month, calculated to the second. After three months, 3,000 GCORE are released, less anything already claimed. Claim portal and presale overview are planned; the Early Bird reservation view is already available. Final terms are confirmed before the TGE.
How GCORE and the offering are structured legally, which checks apply and where you can take part.
Trust · Security · Regulation
Legal, regulatory and technical safeguards: Swiss financial-market analysis, participation checks, regional access controls and security reviews.
Legally assessed by LEXR under Swiss financial market law and the FINMA ICO Guidelines.
During its pre-functional phase, GCORE is treated as a security and financial instrument under Swiss law. Once the game and all stated utility functions are live, GCORE is designed to qualify as a fully functional utility token.
The total consideration of the Early Bird in the EU stays below EUR 1 million over 12 months (Article 4(2)(b) MiCAR). No Article 6 crypto-asset white paper is required for this offer.
Declaring your country of residence with your wallet signature is enough. Didit KYC is optional. Sanctions restrictions apply. The public presale has separate requirements.
Currently limited to eligible residents of Switzerland, the EU, Singapore and the UAE, based on your declared country of residence and the Terms.
The Swiss public offering is structured within the legal framework analysed by LEXR, including the applicable prospectus-exemption conditions for a direct self-issued offering.
This page is for information purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer or a solicitation to buy in jurisdictions where such an offer is not permitted. GCORE is a utility token with no promise of returns or profit. The purchase of an allocation is non-refundable. For buyers in the EU, the mandatory rights under MiCA and EU consumer law apply; the details are set out in the Terms. Participation is limited to permitted jurisdictions; eligibility is confirmed through a self-declaration of residence (a Didit KYC is optional), and sanctions restrictions apply. Separate regulatory documents for the public presale will follow. Only the final Early-Bird Sale Terms & Conditions are authoritative.
What has been built since 2022, what is in development now and what comes next.
THE PATH
From an original game universe to playable experiences, AI infrastructure, GCORE market access and the long-term evolution of The Grid Awakening.
Genesis of the Grid did not begin with a token sale. The game world, ecosystem architecture and core technical infrastructure were developed before the public fundraising phase. The roadmap therefore shows what has already been built, what is currently in development and what comes next.
The idea for The Grid Awakening was born in 2022. From 2025 a founding team of four took it into active development, and in 2026 Elementi Studios Labs GmbH was incorporated in Switzerland as the company behind it. These years established the original game IP, the universe and the long-term structure everything else builds on.
The origin story of The Grid Awakening was completed together with its world, factions, characters and four major biomes. It forms the narrative foundation for the singleplayer experience and for the seven public story chapters planned for 2027.
The ecosystem surrounding The Grid Awakening was structured before the public presale. Genesis is designed as a separate participation and utility layer around the game — connecting progression, community, recognition, future player rewards and multiplayer-related ecosystem experiences.
Two smart contracts were developed in parallel: one for the Early Bird pre-round and one for the six-phase main presale. Both were built in collaboration with the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, with the legal framework structured together with LEXR. The core infrastructure therefore exists before the final audit and market-readiness phase.
Genesis of the Grid reaches its first public transaction milestone with the launch of the GCORE Early Bird. The Early Bird demonstrates that the core wallet, verification, smart-contract and purchase infrastructure is already operational before the main presale.
Genesis of the Grid is entering a broader visibility phase ahead of the public presale. The objective is to strengthen credibility, increase discoverability and expand the project's presence across gaming, AI, blockchain and the Swiss technology ecosystem.
Elementi Studios is developing a blockchain-based provenance system for AI-assisted game production. The system records where AI was used, which tools and models were involved, and where meaningful human creative work shaped the final asset. It is also designed with emerging AI transparency requirements in the EU and Switzerland in mind.
Cyberwolf is being developed as the AI-powered guide to Genesis of the Grid and the evolving world of The Grid Awakening. It becomes an interactive entry point into the project — helping visitors understand the ecosystem, roadmap, game world and its growing lore.
The completed presale infrastructure enters its final preparation phase ahead of the planned public launch in January 2027. This milestone focuses on validating the technical, legal and regional framework before public participation begins.
Development begins on a standalone browser-based journey through the world of The Grid Awakening. The experience follows a controlled route aboard a train that exists within the actual game universe and connects the major regions of the world. The journey is designed to gradually reveal the four major biomes, where key elements of The Grid are located and why these regions are essential to its continued existence. The first development phase establishes the train, interaction on board, environmental streaming and the foundation for the first route.
The public GCORE presale begins and opens the next major stage of Genesis of the Grid. The presale is structured across six planned phases, while the world and story of The Grid Awakening progressively unfold alongside the journey.
A broader international marketing phase begins alongside the public presale. The focus expands from early awareness building toward sustained visibility across gaming, AI and Web3 audiences throughout the presale period.
The previously developed origin story of The Grid Awakening is progressively revealed across seven cinematic chapters. The chapters explain what happened to this world, why it happened, how its factions emerged and what kind of journey awaits the future player.
Development of the Provenance Layer continues toward a practical production system, supported by the planned HSLU development project. The focus moves from the underlying architecture toward asset ingestion, verification and usable production workflows.
The first publicly playable journey into The Grid Awakening becomes available through a standalone browser experience. Travelling aboard an in-world train, visitors journey through the four major biomes and discover more than just their environments. The experience reveals where important elements of The Grid are embedded across the world, how the regions are connected and why each of them plays a role in The Grid's continued existence. Environmental storytelling, short interactive moments and narrative sequences provide a first understanding of the world, its history and the larger conflict that awaits future players.
The Grid Line — First Playable Journey is a standalone web experience and is not an alpha, beta or browser build of the final game.
Following years of concept development, story development, worldbuilding and technical preparation, The Grid Awakening moves into full singleplayer production. The game remains technically and commercially independent from GCORE and the Genesis utility layer.
The first end-to-end prototype demonstrates how the production history of a game asset remains traceable from its origin through AI-assisted and human production steps. The system makes both AI involvement and meaningful human creative contribution visible and independently verifiable. The long-term goal is to evolve it from an internal production tool into openly accessible provenance infrastructure for game development.
After the presale closes, the planned TGE creates GCORE, token delivery and vesting begin, and initial GPL platform functionality becomes operational. 28M GCORE are allocated for DEX liquidity. The initial liquidity pool is currently planned at an indicative ratio corresponding to approximately USD 0.10 per GCORE. Final pool parameters will be determined and announced prior to TGE.
Following the planned DEX launch, Elementi Studios intends to pursue suitable centralized exchange listing opportunities for GCORE as the ecosystem, liquidity and market infrastructure mature. The objective is to progressively broaden potential market access beyond decentralized trading.
Any centralized exchange listing is subject to legal, technical, liquidity and individual exchange requirements. Neither availability nor timing is guaranteed.
Alongside the planned TGE, the Genesis Progress Level introduces the structured long-term progression system of Genesis of the Grid. Participants can voluntarily use GCORE to receive Genesis Points and progress through increasingly rare forms of access, experiences and recognition.
Development expands across the complete singleplayer experience. The four major biomes, gameplay systems, missions, characters, factions and narrative progressively move from worldbuilding into production. Selected development milestones and previews will be shared throughout production.
The standalone, crypto-agnostic singleplayer experience launches on established PC platforms. Four biomes. One connected world. The beginning of the larger Grid universe.
The Tiered Game-Scaled Token Accumulation programme begins building a dedicated GCORE reward pool linked to qualifying sales of The Grid Awakening. The system connects long-term Genesis participation with the commercial success of the game without introducing GCORE into the singleplayer game client.
The world expands into a shared multiplayer experience built on the foundations established through the singleplayer universe.
The MP Hub becomes the online meeting point connecting the multiplayer community with eligible Genesis ecosystem systems and benefits. The game client remains separate from GCORE and Genesis Points, while the MP Hub provides the bridge between multiplayer participation and the wider Genesis ecosystem.
The multiplayer launch marks the beginning of the next stage rather than the end of the roadmap. The Grid Awakening continues evolving through additional content, multiplayer experiences, world expansion and future game development.
