Founder’s Diary: The Clarnium Journey. Part 2 When we realized our original product direction wouldn’t survive the upcoming market cycle, we made a decision that every founder eventually faces: to pause, step back, and study the market with fresh eyes. We asked ourselves the tough questions: What do users actually want today? What has real demand, not hype? What can we build that provides real value right now, not someday? As we researched, one insight became crystal clear: If we want a strong ecosystem in the future, we must build powerful engagement mechanics today. And the second insight was even more important: Our future token must be fairly distributed among real users, not whales, not speculators, not bots. That’s how our box farming concept was born. https://clarnium.io/account/earn We created a system where every user can open a box every 8 hours (no more than three per day) and each box generates synthetic tokens that can be swapped into real tokens at TGE. Farming starts only after the previous box is opened, which keeps the system fair and encourages consistent activity. To support the ecosystem, we introduced AutoFarm, a simple but effective solution that generated consistent revenue. Even during the hardest moments of the crypto winter, even when the entire market slowed down, AutoFarm helped us keep the project alive, support the team, and continue building without external pressure. These decisions were small on the surface, but they changed everything. They allowed us to grow a real community. They allowed us to keep momentum during the toughest months. And most importantly, they allowed us to keep building. Today, while we continue developing the core infrastructure of the Clarnium, this early foundation still fuels our growth and proves that thoughtful mechanics can create deep engagement even before the main products launch. With love and respect, Andrew Furman CEO and Founder, Clarnium “May the Light be with us.”

Founder’s Diary: The Clarnium Journey. Part 1 When we founded Clarnium in 2022, the Web3 Gaming wave was at its peak. Hype was everywhere - billions were flowing into “play-to-earn” ideas, and investors were handing out checks without proper due diligence. Teams that knew how to mint tokens - not build games were raising millions. The result? A flood of worthless tokens wrapped in half-finished game concepts. Meanwhile, real studios that started building actual games soon faced the harsh reality: game development takes 3–7 years, and by the time their games would be ready the market would already be cold. We looked at this chaos and asked ourselves: What if someone could unite real gamers, investors, and developers in one ecosystem? That’s how the idea for Clarnium was born a hybrid of Steam, CoinMarketCap, and Reddit, built entirely on-chain. Our goal was simple: 🎮 Give studios and indie developers a place to launch and showcase their Web3 games. 🔍 Give users a hub to discover, research, and play games with full on-chain transparency (NFT assets, token data, wallet stats, etc.). 💬 And give both sides a space for real dialogue community, demos, feedback, and early support. Technically, we built a lot: login ID, embedded wallet, marketplace, SDK tools that allow devs to focus on gameplay - while we handle the Web3 side. You can already explore over 1000 games on our portal 👉 https://clarnium.io/games But then 2023 came. A year when the entire crypto market fell, and a report from top VCs revealed a brutal truth - 98% of all Web3 Gaming investments were wiped out. We realized the full gaming-crypto cycle would restart around 2028–2030, when serious studios (those funded in 2021) finally release polished products. Maybe even GTA VI will help trigger that wave if Rockstar adds blockchain elements. So, we made a pivot. We froze the gaming vertical but not our vision. Today, 80% of that foundation is built, and when the cycle returns, we’ll be ready to relaunch it stronger than ever. Clarnium has evolved into a broader ecosystem - one that connects gaming, DeFi, and Web3 infrastructure in a way that truly empowers builders and communities. This was just the first chapter. In the next post, I’ll share where our pivot led us - and how those lessons gave birth to five live products, real revenue, and a sustainable model for the next Web3 cycle. With love and respect, Andrew Furman CEO & Founder, Clarnium Ecosystem “May the Light be with us.”
