Grapes combines an NFT collection with mobile games, crypto trading features, and the $GRAPE ecosystem token. Dan has noted that his interest in Web3 community-driven ownership grew out of observing the 2021 NFT boom, having first entered crypto in 2017.
Dan is also affiliated with Yellow Capital. The Grapes NFT collection, comprising 3,333 Ethereum ERC-721 tokens across four grades, launched on OpenSea in May 2023, offering holders in-game rewards, early product access, and IP licensing rights.

Grapes has also launched GrapesPad, a launchpad giving NFT holders and community members access to projects within the ecosystem.
