Liam's letter

“My name is Liam. I built FishBowl because every crypto game I played eventually broke my trust. I wanted to build one that couldn’t.”

I’m not a corporation. I’m one person who genuinely wants to build something people care about — a community that lives and breathes what the community wants. A thriving ecosystem, not just a product. Every mechanic in FishBowl was designed with that in mind. The game’s rules, economics and risks are published in plain language, and I’ll keep explaining the decisions behind them.

I want the record of this build to be the decisions, progress and setbacks shared honestly as they happen. That’s the kind of founder I want to be.

— Liam

FAQ

Yes. The full browser game opens free, with no wallet and no purchase required.

No. The game begins like any other browser game. Crypto systems arrive later and are explained in plain language.

A Founders Pass is a final purchase, not refundable at will; statutory consumer rights apply where the law provides them. It converts one-to-one into a Founding Fish NFT when the crypto layer goes live. It cannot breed with in-game fish or buy gameplay power.

First Water is being built now. Join the list for the opening date and early-access updates.
