Introduction

t’s 2055 — some of Earth’s inhabitants have discovered a way to escape the raging pandemics on Earth.

The most advanced bitcoin mining community — the Federation — noticed a pattern in its algorithmic solutions. An advanced Alien race was sending messages through bitcoin mining algorithms, and the messages led to a big discovery.

A wormhole that allowed humans to travel to far flung exo Planets.

The Federation travelled through the wormhole, gathering a unique supply of hyper rare Trilium as it went. The Federation’s Trilium is the only supply in existence, and has approvable limited quantity. On the other side they found a new interstellar network with many inhabitable planets.

Today there are six planets within the Federation of Alien Worlds and a Metaverse is emerging where virtual and real worlds collide. To build a fair economy, everything in the Alien Worlds Metaverse was tokenized - from the Avatars explorers walk around in, to the Tools, and Weapons, explorers use in their daily adventures. Even Land, Minion sand Artifacts have been tokenized and associated with an ancient Alien AI infrastructure.

Some enterprising explorers mine to earn their share of Trilium and unique items, some like to fight in the arena, while landowners rent their land to build new products and services to offer to the galaxy. The Federation also sends items to hard working explorers, to assist in their endeavors.

Purpose

Alien Worlds is a decentralized metaverse (i.e. extensible platform) running on the Ethereum, WAX and Binance Smart Chain blockchains. The metaversal currency - Trilium (token symbolTLM) - incentivizes explorers to play games and must be staked by users to participate in governance. Planets within the metaverse are decentralized autonomous organizations which receive daily Trilium from the central metaverse smart contracts. Explorers engage through mining, acquiring and renting land, voting for Planetary governance to impact Trilium and NFT(Non-Fungible Token) payouts, and other strategic actions which are likely to proliferate overtime as Planets offer their own games and NFTs.

Explorers use rare and unique NFTs in their quest to earn more of the native token of the game, Trilium, and grow their influence.

More Planets can be created; this is intended to be done in a manner so as not to penalize existing Planets. Planets are the means by which blockchain communities can onboard onto Alien Worlds, get their own token and DAO, offer games and services into the ecosystem, and create and use NFTs.

Blockchain

Alien Worlds runs on the Ethereum, WAX and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchains. Ethereum is a useful blockchain for storing and accessing Trilium, whilst WAX is a game and NFT-focused blockchain. BSC is an attractive consumer-centric chain with a growing user base and inexpensive transactions.

On chain components include:

• Trilium token

• All non fungible tokens

• All core game play including the mining game, missions game, future game actions such as fighting and quests

• DAO governance and voting including staking

• Database of Planets and gaming reward/inflationary distribution mechanism

Off chain elements include:

• Graphical elements including of NFTs (avatars and other gameplay modifying NFTs)

• User interfaces

• Pack opening

• DAO management interface

• Mining and Missions game interfaces

Additional games and activities that are not part of the core distribution of TLM and/or NFTs

Metaverse elements

Planets

Planets are the main locus of activity within Alien Worlds - they are where mining and game play occurs, and where governance happens. Each Planet sets its own resource strategy and games, and players vote for their own Planetary government with the power of their staked Trilium.

• At inception there are 6 Planets

• A Planet is represented by a WAX account and its corresponding smart contract

• The Federation will also provide the Planets with smart contracts to run their mining and mission game

• Planets receive a daily flow of Trilium from the Federation which the Planets’ Custodians choose how to allocate down to users

• Planets within Alien Worlds are Decentralized Autonomous Communities (DAOs)

• Each Planet is a DAO with a dedicated member client portal for Planet token holders to vote for their Governors and allocate Trilium and NFT flows

Membership of Planets

Users become a voting member of a Planet by staking Trilium to that Planet. Users can stake Trilium to an unlimited number of Planets.

Staking to a Planet

• When a user stakes Trilium to a particular Planet (sends Trilium to a contract address),the contract sends a token for that Planet back to the user

• Therefore, each Planetary DAO’s token has a corresponding amount of Trilium staked

• Each Planetary DAO’s tokens can be swapped back 1:1 into Trilium at any time, immutably by smart contract

• The Planetary DAO’s token becomes the token governing that user’s membership of a Planetary DAO

Planet Treasury

The Trilium or NFT balance held by the Planet DAO.

Core NFTs

Core NFTs are the NFTs created by the Federation (Alien Worlds’ creators) at inception

• The Core NFTs within Alien Worlds are

  • Land

  • Avatars

  • Artifacts

  • Tools

  • Weapons

  • Minions

  • Missions

• The elements of the NFT that are recorded on chain are

  • Its name

  • Its attributes (including its visual representations and powers)

  • Who owns it

  • Its history of ownership.

• NFTs in Alien Worlds are depicted as trading cards; these elements are described in the UI codebase

NFTs on Binance Smart Chain

The NFTs on BSC are built on the BEP 721 standard. The NFTs on BSC exist as data on BSC and their associated data is in a JSON file on an IPFS server.

Land

• Land is an NFT associated with (located on) a Planet

• Land ownership is represented by ownership of the NFT

• A land NFT defines modifiers which affect gameplay aspects such as:

  • Time between mining calls

  • Amount of Trilium that the land generates per mine

• Planets have a finite amount of land on them at inception

• Land owners can set a commission (which is the % of Trilium mining rewards the land owner receives)

• Unsold land is owned by the Federation until bought

  • Mining on unsold land (ie still owned by the Federation) has a default commission of 20%

  • This 20% commission is collected into The Land Fund which pays out to a user upon the user opening a new Land pack

  • This is to incentivize opening land packs rather than hoarding them, since land is required for game play

Land NFTs have attributes used in the mining game - see section on Mining Game.

Pack opening

Assets are created (ie created on the blockchain and attributed to an account) at the point at which the user opens the pack within which the assets are contained. The user opens a pack of NFTs by calling the on-chain action “open”. When the user opens the pack, the NFTs in the packs are created (sometimes called “minted”).

The Land Fund

Every time a user mines a piece of land, a default 20% (configurable) percentage of the Trilium mining reward is paid to the land owner; this is called “commission”. This commission accrues every time a user mines on a Land NFT irrespective of whether that Land NFT has been purchased by a landowner. Prior to a Land NFT being purchased and opened, it is held in an account open.worlds. On Land pack opening, the Land NFT is transferred to the purchaser’s account and the 20% mining commission (Trilium) begins accruing into the purchaser’s account instead of the open.worlds account.

The Trilium accruing into the open.worlds account from mining on unopened land, goes into the Land Fund. The Land Fund, when set to operational, pays out to users when they open a Land NFT as an incentive for purchasers of Land NFTs to open their Land packs rather than leaving them unopened.

The payout to an unboxing user from the Land Fund is a random percentage of all the Trilium in the Land Fund pot at that time, varying from 10% - 20% of the pot.

Trilium

Trilium is the native token of Alien Worlds and is used to stake to Planets and participate in core games. It exists on the Ethereum, WAX and BSC blockchains so that users can store Trilium on the chain of their preference and use it for the games constructed on WAX and BSC.

Supply of Trilium

• There is a finite supply of Trilium at 5 billion Trilium with inflation at 9% of supply in year1, 7.64% in year 2 and declining year on year

• Inflation funds the Daily Trilium Allocation to Planets and the Daily Trilium Allocation to Landowners

Token contract - Trilium on BSC

A BEP 20 Trilium token contract exists on BSC which does the same as the above.

The BSCTLM token contract address:

0x2222227E22102Fe3322098e4CBfE18cFebD57c95

Uses of Trilium

• Trilium must be staked by users to vote in Planet governance

• The Federation (and if they chose, Planets) will charge Trilium fees for gameplay such as the fighting game

• Trilium must be staked by Councilors to run as a candidate in Planet DAOs

• Trilium is required to participate in Nebula Events whereby users can obtain Legendary and Mythical items

  • Trilium fees go to Treasury

• Trilium is required to participate in Quests

• Trilium can be used to shine NFTs
