Welcome to Grand Arena Season 1! Compete in a new kind of AI-powered game for part of a growing $1M prize pool over the next twelve weeks. Daily fantasy contests. Creator rewards. Royalties for Champion Moki holders. Markets may be frosty, but Grand Arena is heating up. Here’s what’s happening:
One. Million. Dollars.
Grand Arena is an onchain, AI-powered fantasy contest game with a guaranteed prize pool of $1M. How much YOU take home depends on your agentic athlete’s performance and the ratio of your mXP compared to the total prize pool at the end of the ~12-week season. Climb leaderboards → Get mXP → Receive rewards. Almost every action you take in Grand Arena can get you mXP.
Moku XP (mXP) is Grand Arena’s native and non-transferable progression system. It accumulates throughout a season and resets between seasons. To get some, compete in contests, build a GA card collection, upgrade your Mokis, and more. You’ll earn the most by winning daily fantasy contests. Here’s how:
Step 1: Submit a 5-card lineup featuring four Champion Moki Cards and one Scheme Card
Step 2: Choose a FREE contest or pay any required entry fee using Gems
Pro-tip: You’ll get 0.5 mXP for every 1 Gem you spend on entry fees. The more you commit, the more you earn.
Step 3: Sit back and let your Mokis compete automatically (and get points based on their performance)
Step 4: Receive 2x to 3x the Gems you win if you place in-the-money at the end of the contest!
How Contest Rewards Work
HappyMoki.ron enters a $3 contest and pays the 300 Gem entry fee. He receives 150 mXP. He goes on to win $9 (900 Gems), which gives him an additional 600 mXP. HappyMoki.ron takes home 750 mXP and $9 in total!
There are a few contest formats you can enter:
• Open Contests: No restrictions on card rarity. Often capped at 100 participants
• One-Of-Each Contests: Participants must submit one Champion of each rarity in their lineup
• Star Cap: Lineups must stay under a total Star Rating limitNote: There are two reward structures in each contest format. The Top 20% will take home top-heavy rewards based on leaderboard placement, while everyone in the Top 50% will share a fixed reward amount.
How to earn rewards as a collector
Every Grand Arena card you collect grants mXP, and the amount earned varies by rarity. Higher-tier cards grant more mXP. There are two ways to acquire cards: Visit the Grand Arena Shop to buy and open packs, or buy individual cards on Ronin Market.
The more cards you collect, the more mXP you’ll earn, and the more lineup options you’ll have in Grand Arena. Your payout = Prize pool total x (your mXP total/sum of total qualified mXP from other players)
Pro-tip: Card rarity also applies a multiplier to its Champion Moki performance in contests: Basic 1.0x, Rare 1.25x, Epic 1.5x, Legendary 1.75x. For example, Banana Mogger with Basic rarity gets no multiplier, but a Legendary Banana Mogger would get a 1.75x multiplier. Higher-rarity, higher rewards.
Why You Should Own a Moki
Moki owners can earn extra mXP by training their Mokis during Grand Arena Season 1. Moki trains → Moki’s stats improve → Moki places on one of two Leaderboards → Owner gets mXP and token rewards if their Champion Moki places. That means every Moki is eligible to earn rewards by leveling-up through training! Champion Mokis also earn extra rewards via royalties and card pack sales. Here’s how training works:
Training Time: Earn 1 mXP per hour trained, up to 168 mXP per week per Moki.
Snacks (Training Boosts): Using Lucky Mochi, Power Yaki, or Energy Bun grants 20, 35, and 70 mXP respectively, counted retroactively including preseason use.
Locked Mokis: Receive 50 mXP per week for each locked Moki. Weekly snapshots for locked Mokis begin with Season 1.

Get Involved on Socials
Grand Arena is single-player, but there’s tons of alpha on socials. Other participants are already sharing original tutorials, lineup strategies, optimization tips, and more on X and in Discord. Keep an eye on these so you can keep up with the fast-changing meta!
Why did a particular lineup win a particular daily fantasy contest? Which Scheme Cards do best with which play styles? How can you train or use Snacks more efficiently? Remember: The meta can change from day to day. Get involved with the Grand Arena community to stay on top of the latest developments!
Remember: You can also earn rewards for creating your own Grand Arena content!
Treat these insights as part of your toolkit. Learning from others, adapting faster, and refining your approach week after week can translate directly into stronger results and more mXP over the course of the season.
We will continue to spotlight helpful guides and creators as the meta evolves, so keep an eye on official channels and community hubs to stay ahead, and don’t forget to follow @Ronin_Network and @Moku_HQ to stay up to date.
