Despite our best efforts, we were ultimately unable to prove our thesis on crypto gaming and could not find product-market-business fit. We spent a lot of time in the past year testing multiple directions and audiences, but the results did not give us enough conviction in a viable path forward. We are deeply thankful for the community and investors who gave us their time and trust, and we are sorry we could not deliver. Here is what’s happening next: * Servers will shutdown on June 25th 2am UTC * USDC packages are no longer available in the game * FISH token is now spend-only and untradable * Karma scores are now open sourced for use by other teams and partners: * All USDC from the FISH/USDC LP pool will be redistributed to the community and stakers, based off Karma scores * All USDC spend since Chapter 3 launch (May 14th) will be refunded (excludes diving) * All Proof of Distribution rewards will be distributed by Sky Mavis directly to the community, proportional to Karma scores Once again, we are grateful to everyone who supported us and will be available to answer any questions in our Discord. We have also put together a FAQ below Thanks, \ JW + Derek (Co-founders, Uncharted) *** ## **Shutdown Notice FAQ** #### **Payouts and Refunds** **Q: How is the USDC redistribution calculated?**\ A: We are withdrawing all $USDC from the $FISH/USDC pool and redistributing it to the community proportional to Karma scores at the time of the snapshot. Your share = (your Karma / total Karma at snapshot) x total USDC redistributed. **Q: When was the Karma snapshot taken?**\ A: The Karma snapshot was taken on Monday, June 15, 2026. Your payout share is based on your Karma score at that point in time. **Q: Does playing between now and June 25 increase my payout?**\ A: No. The snapshot has already been taken. You are welcome to keep playing until servers close. **Q: How and when will I receive my USDC?**\ A: USDC will be sent via airdrop directly to the Ronin wallet linked to your account. We will announce on official channels once the airdrop is complete. **Q: Is there a minimum Karma to receive a payout?**\ A: No, all users with > 0 Karma will receive a share proportional to their Karma score **Q: I made purchases recently. Can I get a refund?**\ A: We will refund non-diving related USDC spent on purchases made after the Chapter 3 launch (14 May). This will happen automatically. **Q. Do I get any payout for holding $FISH?**\ A: No, all payouts will go to users who hold Karma. The reason for this is a majority of $FISH holdings are by those who have staked $FISH and cannot sell, and we want compensation to go to these members who have also shown support to the project via staking. #### **Game Items and Assets** **Q: Why is $FISH trading being locked?**\ A: We want to avoid volatility and a race to sell scenario, while ensuring there are some funds that could be used as a final payout to token stakers and players who have supported us. **Q: What does "spend-only and untradable" mean for my $FISH?**\ A: Effective immediately, $FISH can no longer be traded or transferred, but you can still spend it in-game until servers shut down on June 25th at 2am UTC. This change applies to everyone to avoid a scenario where it’s a race to sell and the LP is disproportionately received by just a few sellers. **Q: What happens to my fish collection, pets, boat skins, fossils, and other items?**\ A: Your fish collection, pets, boat skins, fossils, and other items are all server-side and will no longer be accessible once servers close on June 25. We will keep a record of everything in case the game ever comes back online in the future. #### **Timing & access** **Q: When exactly do servers shut down?**\ A: June 25th, 2026 at 2am UTC (9am ICT / 10pm ET June 24th). **Q: Is the game fully playable until then?**\ A: Yes. All current features remain available until servers close. **Q: Will the Discord stay open? For how long?**\ A: Yes. We will be available to answer questions in #ask-us-anything. Discord will remain open for at least 30 days after the final USDC payout is completed. **Q: Will the website / X account stay up?**\ A: The website will remain up but will no longer be actively managed. Our X account will stay up at least until the USDC payout is complete, since it remains our official channel of record. #### **Partners & ecosystem** **Q: What happens to the PoD rewards?**\ A: Sky Mavis has confirmed that Proof of Distribution rewards will be redistributed to Fishing Frenzy players, the same way as the USDC redistribution: proportional to Karma scores at the time of the snapshot. **Q: What about other partner campaigns?**\ A: We will pass on Karma score snapshot to Karma drop partners and ask them to honour their commitments to airdrop tokens to top Karma users. **Q: What does "Karma score data will be open sourced" actually mean?**\ A: We are releasing the Karma score dataset publicly so other teams can use it if they wish, for example to reward Fishing Frenzy players in their own games. It is available here: **Q: Will Uncharted build something new? Does my Karma carry over to anything?**\ A: No, there are no plans for a new project and Uncharted will be shutting down. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
