Alien Worlds
Do you enjoy strategy games with player-driven economies and decentralized governance? Then Alien Worlds is just for you! This browser-based metaverse lets you mine Trilium across six planetary DAOs, participate in governance elections, and earn rewards through community-created games—all running on WAX, Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain blockchains.
What is Alien Worlds?
Alien Worlds is a decentralized metaverse developed by Dacoco GmbH that launched in late 2020 and has grown into one of blockchain gaming’s most active ecosystems. The game averaged over 90,000 daily active accounts throughout 2025, maintaining its position as a top blockchain game by player engagement according to DappRadar metrics.
Set in the year 2055, the game’s lore centers on humanity escaping Earth’s pandemics through a wormhole discovered by the Federation—an advanced Bitcoin mining community that detected alien signals within Bitcoin algorithms. Players become space explorers mining Trilium (TLM), a limited resource that powers six planetary Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Each planet operates with elected governance, giving players direct control over resource distribution, community initiatives, and metaverse development. The game runs primarily on WAX blockchain with cross-chain functionality on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, supporting true interoperability for NFTs and tokens.
How Does Alien Worlds Work?
Gameplay centers on mining Trilium using NFT tools across land plots on six planets: Eyeke, Naron, Magor, Neri, Kavian, and Veles. Each planet features unique mining multipliers, charge times, and reward distributions. You equip NFT tools like shovels and drills, select land to mine, and earn TLM plus occasional NFT drops.
The 2025 Galactic Hubs initiative expanded gameplay through community-created experiences. Players now access Milky Way Miner (2D platformer with weekly tournaments), Battlefleet Armageddon (space combat strategy on Steam), Mercenary Battlegrounds (weekly PvP), and Mayhem: Alien Worlds (turn-based tactics on iOS/Android).
Planetary governance evolved significantly in 2025. Union DAOs gained authority to redirect up to 25 percent of mining reward pools toward community projects. Planets control their election timeframes and custodian numbers. Players stake TLM to vote for planetary councilors who manage treasuries and resource allocation.
Missions on Binance Smart Chain let you lease spacecraft, compete for pooled rewards, and earn NFTs. Landowners earn passive income through commissions whenever players mine their plots, with only 3,343 land NFTs ever created.
Digital Collectibles in Alien Worlds
Trilium (TLM) is an ERC-20 utility token with a 10 billion maximum supply, five billion allocated to Participation Rewards distributed daily to planetary mining pools. TLM functions as governance currency for planetary DAOs, trading medium on NFT marketplaces, and mining reward.
NFTs represent tools, land, avatars, weapons, and minions across six rarity tiers. Tools like the Artunian Shovel offer specialized mining efficiency on specific terrain types. Land NFTs, limited to 3,343 parcels, generate commission income from mining activity. Avatars include Greys, Reptiloids, Little Green Persons, Nordics, and Robotrons.
The 2025 Tokenized Lore system lets players submit narrative proposals through the Lynx AI tool, with communities voting to establish official canon. NFTs trade on Atomic Hub marketplace for WAX assets, with cross-chain teleport functionality moving TLM between Ethereum, BSC, and WAX. Galactic Hubs provides grant funding year-round for developers building games within Alien Worlds, distributing up to $50,000 to qualifying projects.
