Genesis of the Grid
Built around The Grid Awakening — a crypto-agnostic game universe surrounded by an evolving ecosystem where AI, blockchain and community extend beyond the game itself.

Swiss-built. Legally structured. Connected to gaming, research and the Swiss blockchain ecosystem.
THE UNIVERSE
Three distinct layers built around one long-term vision. The Grid Awakening is the game. Genesis of the Grid surrounds it with a separate ecosystem for participation, AI, progression and community. GCORE provides utility within that ecosystem — while all three remain clearly separated.
An original post-apocalyptic game universe built by Elementi Studios Labs.
The journey begins with a crypto-agnostic singleplayer experience across four distinct biomes, followed by a planned multiplayer expansion and the wider evolution of the Grid universe.
Singleplayer · 4 Biomes · Multiplayer Expansion
The long-term participation layer surrounding the game world.
Genesis connects community, AI, progression, access and recognition through systems designed to evolve alongside The Grid Awakening — including CyberWolf, the Genesis Progress Level and future multiplayer-related ecosystem experiences.
CyberWolf · Progression · Community · Access
The utility token used within the Genesis of the Grid ecosystem.
GCORE can be voluntarily used to receive Genesis Points, progress through the Genesis Progress Level and unlock selected forms of ecosystem access, participation and recognition. GCORE used for Genesis Points 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.
What we are building now
Genesis of the Grid is not a promise for 2032. The next stage is already taking shape: development of the Provenance Layer begins in October 2026, the completed Presale infrastructure enters its final audit and legal preparation phase ahead of launch, and the first playable journey into The Grid Awakening follows in May 2027.
Development begins on a blockchain-based provenance system for AI-assisted game production — documenting where AI was used, which tools and models were involved, and where meaningful human creative work shaped the final asset.
The completed Presale infrastructure enters its final preparation phase ahead of public launch — including independent audit, final legal review, regional assessment and end-to-end validation.

A standalone web experience — not an alpha, beta or browser build of the final game.
CyberWolf began as an original character concept and evolved step by step into a digital companion for Genesis of the Grid. Starting from concept art, his visual identity was translated into Blender, refined through human creative work and AI-assisted production, and prepared for interactive use.
Google Cloud AI technologies, Text-to-Speech and a RAG-based knowledge architecture bring the next layer to life. CyberWolf connects to a curated Genesis knowledge base covering the ecosystem, roadmap, documentation and the growing lore of The Grid Awakening — allowing him to provide context-aware answers through text and voice.
Building CyberWolf also helped inspire our Provenance Layer. His production workflow showed how quickly human creativity, AI-assisted steps, models and tools become intertwined. We want that process to remain traceable — showing what was created by our team, where AI assisted and how the final asset evolved.
FROM THE GRID
Your guide through Genesis of the Grid — lore, answers and new story chapters as the presale unfolds.
Token Utility
GCORE follows a clear utility path within Genesis of the Grid: use GCORE for Genesis progression, receive Genesis Points, advance through the Genesis Progress Level and unlock increasingly rare forms of access, participation and recognition.
GCORE is the utility token within Genesis of the Grid. When used for Genesis progression, the corresponding amount of GCORE is permanently removed from circulation.
Utility starts here.
Using GCORE for Genesis progression allows participants to receive Genesis Points — the non-transferable progression unit used throughout the Genesis ecosystem.
Genesis Points determine how far a participant advances within the structured progression system.
GCORE → Genesis Points
Genesis Points advance participants through a 36-month programme with three parallel layers and six rarity tiers.
Progression unlocks increasingly rare forms of access, experiences and recognition.
3 Layers · 6 Rarities · 36 Months
GPL progression connects participants to the wider Genesis ecosystem — including community experiences, selected game-related opportunities, founder recognition and, later, the MP Hub.
The MP Hub becomes the future meeting point between multiplayer experiences and eligible Genesis ecosystem benefits.
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 ecosystem's structured progression, access and recognition system. Use GCORE to receive Genesis Points and progress through three parallel layers over 36 months. Higher Genesis progression unlocks increasingly rare forms of access, experiences and recognition across the Genesis ecosystem.
The Game Layer connects Genesis progression with the evolving world of The Grid Awakening. As development advances, progression can unlock selected access, testing opportunities, participation and unique forms of recognition connected to the game world.
The General Genesis Layer extends progression beyond the game itself. It unlocks community spaces, events, selected ecosystem activities and opportunities to participate across the wider Genesis network.
The Founder Credits Layer creates lasting recognition for those who supported Genesis of the Grid during its formative years. Progression can unlock increasingly prominent founder status, visibility and permanent recognition within the Genesis ecosystem.
Some GPL benefits and experiences become available progressively as the Genesis ecosystem and The Grid Awakening continue to develop. Availability may depend on the development stage, eligibility and the final implementation of the respective benefit.
Trust · Security · Regulation
GCORE and its public offering are structured with legal, regulatory and technical safeguards — including Swiss financial-market analysis, KYC, sanctions screening, regional access controls and security reviews.
GCORE has been legally assessed by LEXR under Swiss financial market law and the FINMA ICO Guidelines, providing the regulatory framework for the Swiss offering and the token's different stages of functionality.
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.
For the Early Bird, the total consideration of the offer in the European Union remains below EUR 1 million over 12 months under Article 4(2)(b) MiCAR. No Article 6 crypto-asset white paper is required for this offer.
Identity verification through didit includes sanctions and PEP screening. Source-of-funds information or additional documentation may be requested where required.
Participation is currently limited to eligible participants in Switzerland, the European Union, Singapore and the UAE. Country eligibility is verified through didit during the verification process.
The public Presale enters an additional review phase before launch, including an independent smart-contract audit, final legal review, regional assessment and validation of KYC and access controls.
Swiss offering structureThe 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; country blocking via didit as well as sanctions, OFAC and PEP checks are carried out. Separate regulatory documents for the public presale will follow. Only the final Early-Bird Sale Terms & Conditions are authoritative.
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 — the purchase of a utility-token allocation at the Early Bird price.
GCORE is a utility token; no yield or return is implied.
SolidityScanThe Early Bird smart contract has been reviewed with SolidityScan (CredShields) and published as a verified Security Assessment Report — with a security score of 95.84 (“great”). The contract is deliberately kept simple: a lean, auditable scope with no unnecessary complexity, which keeps the attack surface small. View the published report. For the public presale, a full manual audit by CredShields is planned.
Token Entitlement recorded · linear release begins at the TGE.
Three steps. Connect your wallet, complete verification, then accept the Early-Bird Sale Terms and purchase your Token Entitlement in USDT. Wallet, didit verification and the purchase process are integrated directly on this page.
Only ever connect your wallet on this official site. We never DM you first and never ask for your seed phrase or private keys.
Connect your BNB Chain wallet (e.g. MetaMask, Trust Wallet) holding USDT.
Identity verification through didit, including sanctions and PEP screening. Source-of-funds information or additional documents may be requested where required.
Accept the Early-Bird Sale Terms, set an amount in USDT and confirm the purchase of your Token Entitlement. Your GCORE allocation is calculated live.
Use of Funds
A transparent view of how the Early Bird round (USD 200k hard cap) is used ahead of the public presale. Indicative allocation — the specific use is at the Company's discretion as per the Terms.
Indicative use of the Early Bird funds — the specific allocation is at the Company's discretion as per the Terms. GCORE is a utility token; no yield or return is implied.
The Early Bird is a binding, deliberately non-refundable reservation — you receive a Token Entitlement, the contractual right to delivery at the TGE; no tokens are minted yet and your reserved amount is shown on this page. Participation requires a light didit verification and isn't available in restricted countries. Binding conditions follow with the Early-Bird Sale Terms & Conditions.
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.
Tokenomics
How the total supply of 700M GCORE is distributed across the ecosystem. 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; unsold sale allocations expire and are not reassigned. No yield or return is implied.
TGE & DELIVERY
A simple view of what happens when your Token Entitlement becomes a real GCORE token. The TGE takes place after the Presale has closed, on a date determined by the Company and announced in advance on this website.
The GCORE token is generated on-chain.
Your reserved allocation is released linearly from the TGE (12–24 months).
The Company currently plans to provide decentralised-exchange liquidity at or around the TGE. Trading availability, liquidity and timing are not guaranteed.
Claim portal and on-chain participation (Early Bird + presale) are being finalised.
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 foundations of The Grid Awakening were created years before the public GCORE fundraising phase. The original universe, central conflict, factions, locations and the long-term transition from a standalone singleplayer experience toward a larger multiplayer world began taking shape.
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, KYC, 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.

THE STUDIO BEHIND IT
Behind Genesis of the Grid and The Grid Awakening stands Elementi Studios Labs GmbH — a Swiss studio building both from one hand: the game world and the ecosystem around it. Four founders, one vision, one shared universe.
The story, the factions, the Grid and the Bastion aren't built as marketing, but as a real world — chapter by chapter, in parallel with the development of the game.
PARTNERS & TECHNOLOGY
We work with established partners and technologies — in law, blockchain, cloud and research.
QUESTIONS
Genesis of the Grid is being built as a long-term ecosystem around The Grid Awakening — while the game itself remains crypto-agnostic and independent from GCORE. We believe this separation is an important and still uncommon approach in the blockchain gaming space. Early participants can follow and engage with the ecosystem from its earliest stages — through the Early Bird and Presale, and later through systems such as the Genesis Progress Level, TGSTA Player Rewards and the future MP Hub. Our focus is not short-term hype. We are building step by step around a long-term game universe, real utility and transparent development. Legal structuring, KYC, security reviews, regional restrictions and clear documentation are part of that process so participants can make informed decisions. Genesis is designed for people who want to follow the journey from the beginning and see the ecosystem evolve alongside the game.
A small, public round ahead of the actual presale (start: 01.01.2027). It makes GCORE publicly available for the first time — at the Early Bird price of $0.02. 10M GCORE are available; the minimum ticket is $100.
GCORE is a utility token (BEP-20) on the BNB Chain. It is the functional core within the Genesis of the Grid ecosystem.
The Grid Awakening is a post-apocalyptic survival game in development for established PC platforms such as Steam or Epic. It is deliberately crypto-agnostic and requires no wallet, token or blockchain interaction. GCORE and the Genesis of the Grid ecosystem are separate offerings that share the same narrative universe.
No. GCORE is a utility token with no promise of returns or profit, and this page is not investment advice. Only the final Early-Bird Sale Terms & Conditions by LEXR are authoritative.
In three steps: connect your wallet, complete verification through didit, then accept the Early-Bird Sale Terms and purchase your Token Entitlement in USDT. The complete process is integrated directly on this page.
Exclusively with USDT on the BNB Chain (BEP-20). This is the cleanest fit for the USD-denominated pricing and avoids exchange-rate risk.
Identity verification takes place through didit, including sanctions and PEP screening. These checks are mandatory and protect everyone involved. Source-of-funds information or additional documents may be requested where required.
Open to eligible participants in Switzerland, the European Union, Singapore and the UAE. Country eligibility is checked through didit.
There is no general refund — Early Bird contributions are deliberately final and non-refundable. Mandatory returns and the statutory 14-day withdrawal right for eligible retail holders and consumers resident in the European Union remain unaffected. Details are set out in the Terms.
Your purchase reserves your allocation as a Token Entitlement — no tokens are minted yet. From the TGE, your allocation is released automatically and continuously: no cliff, linear over 12–24 months. The duration depends on the final funding level of Early Bird + presale and is identical for all participants. You can see at any time how many tokens have already been released, and you can withdraw your released tokens at any point during the release period.
The Early Bird contract is deployed on BNB Chain: 0x23e2215a2eFF8937B9c8DfDFcD2A4e4EE08D1Ed2 — view it on BscScan. The contract has been reviewed by SolidityScan (CredShields) — read the Security Assessment Report.
