The launch#

$GLOAM launches fair on Pump.fun on 14 August 2026, 16:00 UTC. No presale, no allocation, no whitelist. See Token Overview.

The game is playable before, during and after that, without a wallet.

Why the game shipped before the token

Because a token attached to nothing is the thing everybody is tired of. The prototype has been playable since before the launch date was set, and it will still be playable if the chart does nothing at all.
