Alien Worlds Achieves No. 1 Most Played Blockchain Game with 11 Million Daily Transactions
October 29, 2021
Alien Worlds has been confirmed as the world's most popular blockchain game with around 11 million daily transactions* by over 700,000 MAU (Monthly Active Users)#, according to on-chain smart contract activity tracked by DappRadar.
Alien Worlds is an NFT Metaverse where you can play with unique digital items (NFTs), stake Trilium tokens to planets, vote in elections, and run for planetary council. With almost 3.6 million players and over 700,000 Monthly Active Users, Alien Worlds has rapidly climbed the DappRadar ranking charts and inspired individuals to scale new heights of imagination in order to create, share and thrive in the Social Metaverse.
Launched in beta form during late 2020, the community of players has grown Alien Worlds to almost 3.6 million registered game players and NFT enthusiasts^. Early adopters were attracted by the ease of joining Alien Worlds, which unlike other blockchain games did not require cryptocurrency or the installation of a Metamask wallet to begin.
In Alien Worlds, players quickly discover the appeal of a play-to-earn game that they build and govern for themselves, while exploring seven planets across the metaverse. Daily activities include creating Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), meeting other gamers in user forums and selecting land and tools for a chosen playing strategy.
"We're thrilled to see the enthusiasm of our community in building new applications in a more impressive fashion," says Kevin Wang, Partner at Longling Capital and Founder of Forgame, a Hong Kong Exchange main board-listed gaming company.
"This game made it to #1 by providing possessions, an ecosystem, and an economic structure inside Alien Worlds," said Max Infeld, an artist featured on Curiocards, the first art NFTs on Ethereum.
"The Alien Worlds community has successfully inspired a generation of blockchain gamers to engage in the same intense co-operation and competition – mining, fighting, playing games and participating in governance – that is found in any earthbound community. That's why the 'social metaverse' of Alien Worlds has taken off in less than 12 months."
The Alien Worlds community of developers are now completing the design of a mobile-native UI which provides greater functionality on a single screen – including tabs for Notifications and Events – and makes it easier for players to access a fuller range of community activities.
"Alien Worlds started with a vision to make the most of NFTs and blockchain technology by building a social and economic structure that gamers could explore and enjoy in many different ways," explains Kevin Wang.

Watch Post Commentary: This story highlights two very important things about the culture in which we currently live. First, the continuing development of blockchain technology, which many believe will eventually enable cryptocurrencies in the coming cashless society. Second, the game's plot underscores an ongoing obsession with the possibility of aliens and life on other planets. A few years ago, zombie-themed books, movies, TV shows and games were all the rage. Before that, vampire lore was the thing. Clearly, aliens are now the primary subject for basically all our forms of entertainment. It certainly makes one wonder, what kind of predictive programming might be taking place with this? Does it have anything to do with the coming great deception?
