# GRAM Ecosystem: Strategic Transition and Future Roadmap *Phasing out legacy services to build a faster, more experimental game economy on Base.* By [GRAM Ecosystem](https://paragraph.com/@gramvoyage) · 2026-04-22 gramecosystem, chefuniverse --- It has been nearly three years since GRAMPUS first stepped into the Web3 space. Before we share our next steps, we want to say thank you. Your support through every hurdle and transition has been the only reason we've made it this far. Your feedback was, and still is, the engine that keeps us moving. Today, we want to be completely transparent about our past, our struggles, and where we are headed. 1\. Breaking Away from "Web3 Legacy" and Compromise --------------------------------------------------- In expanding our Web3 business, we’ve worked with many partners. While their support was vital, we must admit that our choices weren't always the "right" ones for our long-term vision. As a game studio, we occasionally compromised with established "Web3 legacies" and dusty theories about "how to succeed in Web3 gaming" instead of sticking to our own creative product strategies. We've been through a lot, from the financial hit caused by a partner's wallet hack early on, to the constant volatility of the L2 ecosystem. These risks made it incredibly hard to focus on building a long-term product. We’ve learned our lessons. **The rapid shifts in the macro environment, now accelerated by AI, have made us realize just how poisonous clinging to legacy compromises can be. It is no longer enough to simply adjust; we must reinvent ourselves entirely.** Now, we are breaking away from old habits and standing again as an independent, product-driven studio. Our mission remains: to use blockchain to take the player experience to a level that traditional gaming can't reach. 2\. Transitioning Partnerships & Infrastructure Shutdown -------------------------------------------------------- **Iskra** has been a key partner for us, but due to shifts in the market, they have **decided to scale back their publishing business**. This means the dedicated SDK and infrastructure we relied on for **wallet integration, asset transfers, and data sync will be completely shut down by our partner**. Because our games were so deeply integrated into their legacy system, it is technically impossible to keep the current services running. We see this structural limitation as a turning point to return to our original vision: "Expanding the game experience through blockchain." This is not just an end for two games, but a return to our first principle: connecting the joy of gaming with a broader economic ecosystem. 3\. Our New Direction: Expanded Game Economy and the "Chef Universe" -------------------------------------------------------------------- We didn't start Web3 just to fundraise. If that was the goal, we wouldn't have bothered with the tech. Our goal is to expand the game economy so that players and the ecosystem can create real revenue opportunities together. This is why we’ve moved to **Base**. Base’s "Builder-First" culture and "Trader-First" growth strategy are the perfect match for us. We believe a healthy trading environment is what allows builders to succeed. On this foundation, we’re going to experiment with game elements that link directly to trading. We are already proving this: * **Launch of $CHEF:** We’ve built a foundation for transparent governance, independent of external institutions, starting with a fair launch on Clanker. * **Merging Gaming and Trading:** The "disassembly" feature in _Rolling Burger_ and the tradable "Ingredient Tokens" have created a new economic touchpoint between gamers and traders. * **AI & Agentic Game Loop:** Our AI agent, "Marco Polo," is now actively participating in the game loop. This is the future of Web3 gaming: an economy that evolves autonomously. This experimental spirit is at the core of everything we’re doing next. Our upcoming projects, including **'Uncharted Tycoons'** and **'My Secret Love'**, will fully feature AI and Agentic Game Loops. You won't just be playing a game; you’ll be interacting with AI to design the flow and the economy of the world itself. 4\. Service Changes & Closure Details ------------------------------------- To rebuild our ecosystem for this new direction, we will be discontinuing the following services: ### **Affected Services** * **Game Services:** _Norma in Metaland_, _Juicy Adventure_ * **Infrastructure:** GRAM Staking (via ISKRA accounts) ### **Key Schedule** * **April 22, 2026:** In-game payments and purchases disabled * **May 22, 2026:** Service Closure * **May 26, 2026:** Batch withdrawal of remaining tokens ### **GRAM Staking Transition Notice** To give you more control and security, staking will move from Iskra accounts to individual decentralized wallets (MetaMask, Base Wallet, etc.). * **Wallet Export:** Users with Iskra accounts must use the "Wallet Export" function within the Iskra platform to migrate their existing wallet address to an external wallet (e.g., MetaMask) before the migration. * **Login Method Change:** Following the migration on May 26, 2026, logins via Iskra accounts will be discontinued. Thereafter, you must connect your exported individual wallet to use the staking service. Final Thoughts -------------- In today's market, great game content is no longer enough to survive on its own. As builders, we have to move faster and experiment harder to find the real answer for Web3 gaming—a place where a healthy trading environment and creative gameplay actually work together, free from the mistakes of the past. While it's hard to say goodbye to these services, your passion and support won't be lost; they are being poured into our new, evolved projects. We’ve learned, we’ve grown, and we’re ready for what’s next. Please stay with us and see where this journey takes us. **The GRAM Ecosystem Team** --- *Originally published on [GRAM Ecosystem](https://paragraph.com/@gramvoyage/gram-ecosystem-strategic-transition-and-future-roadmap)*
