What Is Alien Worlds (TLM)? Features, Tokenomics and Price Prediction

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of [Alien Worlds](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-alien-worlds-tlm-features-tokenomics-and-price-prediction).

## What Is Alien Worlds (TLM)?

[Alien Worlds](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/alien-worlds/) (TLM) is a decentralized, [non-fungible token](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) (NFT) metaverse, where players compete for scarce resources, Trilium (TLM), in a stimulated economy centered around planetary worlds. Due to this, Alien Worlds also has a decentralized finance (DeFi) element to the game, as players advance by staking TLM and using TLM to vote in Planet [Decentralized Autonomous Organizations](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao) (DAOs).

[Play-to-earn](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/play2earn-play-to-earn) (P2E) NFT games have seen an exponential rise in popularity and value this year. Alien Worlds allow the players, called “explorers” to earn monetary rewards through gameplay or participation in Planet DAOs. By mining in Alien Worlds, a user is rewarded with the native, in-game currency — Trilium (TLM) or NFT packs. Players can stake TLM to boost their rewards or battle with other users for NFTs.

To date, Alien Worlds has established a fair amount of its roadmap, having TLM on Binance launchpad and farming period of TLM on Binance Launchpool. A large portion of game developments have been forged as well. Moving forward, Alien Worlds aims to automate the claiming process of daily allocation to landowners in the game. Artifacts NFTs are soon to be released, and future plans include NFT interoperability.


## Who Are the Founders of Alien Worlds?

The game is developed by German developers [Dacoco GmbH](https://dacoco.io/), who have created three projects to date. Alien Worlds was created in 2020.

Dacoco is based in Zug, Switzerland, which is deemed Switzerland’s ‘[crypto valley](https://cryptovalley.swiss/)’, due to the number of blockchain and crypto companies based there. They claim to be decentralized autonomous community organizations experts, and also act as guild validators on WAX.


## What Makes Alien Worlds Unique?

Alien Worlds’ first unique feature is that it is a gaming metaverse that features numerous DAOs, giving every TLM coin holder a stake in deciding who runs the platform, allowing people to use TLM to stake, vote or even become a leader.

Players can stake their TLM to Planet DAOs, which then shows their alliance to a planet and allows them to receive more daily TLM rewards. Based on the amount of TLM staked, it affects the extent to which a user can vote for the future of the planet. 

Becoming a leader in Alien Worlds is no foreign feat, as the platform allows players to run for candidacy to be a Councillor in more than one planet. Each planet can be managed by more than one elected Councillor, who will share [multi-sig](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/multi-signature-multi-sig) control over the respective Planet DAO account.

Another unique feature of Alien Worlds is that it is free-to-play, bypassing expensive barrier costs that are a feature of many traditional games and making it newbie-friendly.

In a testament to Alien Worlds popularity, it is the second fastest growing NFT game. According to DappRadar, it is the second in all [decentralized applications](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps) (DApp) and first in all DApp games by 24 hour users. This could be attributed in part to the Alien Worlds community development efforts — they are active in 18 languages on Discord, a popular messaging platform for crypto communities, targeting english-native countries, China, Russia, Japan and Turkey. Furthermore, the team are also undertaking localization efforts to support Filipino, Indonesian and Indian players, where P2E games are extremely popular, as seen in the [rise of Axie Infinity](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/cryptoblades-vs-axie-infinity-top-play2earn-games#toc-axie-infinity-axs-). Other community efforts include: onboarding well-known intellectual properties, supporting active Telegram and Discord communities, sponsored drops and promotion, supporting expansion effort and conducting regular AMAs.

## How Many Alien Worlds (TLM) Coins Are There in Circulation?

As of September 2021, the total supply of Alien Worlds TLM token is 5,135,726,585 and the maximum total supply of TLM is 10,000,000,000. The allocation of the TLM token is as follow: 13.75% to seed sale; 6.69% to the TLM presale; 2.92% to the Binance launchpad; 3.5% for external protocol development; 9.24% for marketing expenses; 13.14% to the Alien Worlds foundation; 5.35% to the project advisors; 14.6% to the team; 3.89% for governance; 5.84% for liquidity provision; 3.41% as staking rewards; 0.78% used for security audits; 14.24% for ecosystem grants; 2.72% used for participation rewards.


## How Is the Alien Worlds Network Secured?

Alien Worlds runs on three blockchains on which its native token TLM has been deployed: [Binance Smart Chain (BSC)](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-binance-smart-chain), [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/ethereum-transaction) and [WAX](https://wax.bloks.io/).

Each of the three blockchains supports Alien Worlds’ various functions that let it run smoothly and safely. For a start, Binance supports the staking functionality, letting [BEP-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/bep-20) TLM holders to run missions. On the other hand, WAX allows for a free transactional layer for most of the core gaming logic.

NFT image data is stored on the peer-to-peer Inter Planetary File System (IFPS), allowing this data to remain decentralised and allowing external applications to stay in touch with on-chain functions and data so that the games and functionality can run as per usual.


## Can Alien Worlds Coin Hit $10?

Across the year, Alien Worlds has hit a low of $0.0666 and a high of $$7.19. To reach $10 would imply an over 50 times price increase from the current price, as of Sept. 13, 2021. While this is not a large jump in the crypto world and is a reasonable target to achieve. As with all coins, hitting this target would greatly depend on the project team reaching its objectives and the community backing it.


## Where Can You Buy Alien Worlds?

Alien Worlds is listed on several cryptocurrency exchanges. Among them: [PancakeSwap (V2),](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/pancakeswap-v2/) [Gate.io](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/gate-io/) and [LBank](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/lbank/).

My Neighbor Alice is a farming-themed play-to-earn builder game built on Chromia. The game bills itself as a place where “players can buy and own virtual islands, collect and build exciting items while also making new friends.” Each player has their own avatar representing them in the game, which they can modify as they please. Players can buy virtual real estate from Alice, the game’s eponymous central figure, or the internal marketplace. All purchased land is represented as an NFT.

My Neighbor Alice aims to introduce blockchain to millions of players and targets a diverse gaming community within the traditional gaming market. Although the game is blockchain-based and integrates DeFi features, it does not require prior knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain. My Neighbor Alice takes inspiration from several popular sources. For instance, daily in-game tasks and social aspects are inspired by Animal Crossing, whereas Minecraft serves as a role model for building mechanics. The artwork was inspired by the Swedish children’s book Pettson and Findus.

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

Ontology is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.

The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain.

At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular initial coin offering (ICO) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT cryptocurrency.

This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny.

For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like Binance.

Ontology launched its own MainNet on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.

Decentraland (MANA) defines itself as a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to create, experience, and monetize content and applications.

In this virtual world, users purchase plots of land that they can later navigate, build upon and monetize.

Decentraland was launched following a $24 million initial coin offering (ICO) that was conducted in 2017. The virtual world launched its closed beta in 2019 and opened to the public in February 2020. Since then, users have created a wide range of experiences on their parcels of LAND, including interactive games, sprawling 3D scenes and a variety of other interactive experiences.

Decentraland uses two tokens: MANA and LAND. MANA is an ERC-20 token that must be burned to acquire non-fungible ERC-721 LAND tokens. MANA tokens can also be used to pay for a range of avatars, wearables, names, and more on the Decentraland marketplace.

Decentraland (MANA) is a decentralized virtual world platform with software based on the Ethereum blockchain, where users create, test and monetize content. In short: users buy virtual plots of land as NFTs with MANA tokens on the Decentraland platform. Progress in the game depends only on players themselves, their efforts and their imagination.

The digital platform is completely owned by its users. Within the Decentraland metaverse, participants can explore the virtual world, purchase plots of land that can be monetized, create works of art, own non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and take part in a decentralized autonomous organization of the platform Decentraland DAO. Due to the DAO, the community influences the development vector of the project.

In addition, users have access to interactive applications, in-world payments and peer-to-peer communication. The 3D world resonates with many participants as Decentraland has many applications, both entertainment for gamers and business for investors.

Two types of tokens called MANA and LAND govern operations in Decentraland. They also allow users to interact with the platform.

MANA is the official currency of Decentraland. It’s an ERC-20 standard token that powers the Decentraland platform. With MANA, users can purchase plots of LAND, as well as pay for in-game items and services.

MANA gives its holders the right to vote in Decentraland DAO. MANA can be purchased on a cryptocurrency exchange or by selling collectibles on Decentraland Marketplace. The owner of tokens converts them to wrapped MANA, or wMANA, and then commits them to the DAO. One wMANA equals one vote. MANA can be exchanged for fiat currency and other digital assets.

As for LAND, it’s a non-fungible token (NFT) based on Ethereum (ETH). It is used to track ownership of land parcels aka digital real estate. Like MANA, LAND is part of the protocol and confers voting rights, but LAND does not need to be fixed in the DAO. One LAND is equal to two thousand votes.

Players choose what to do with their land. Owners store tokens in crypto wallets and buy necessities with MANA tokens on the Decentraland Marketplace. Moreover, on the marketplace, participants can manage or exchange LAND tokens (priced in MANA). Holders use the marketplace to transact or transfer in-game items. All transactions are conducted, regulated and registered via the Ethereum blockchain.

Decentraland combines an online gaming space and blockchain technology. All control over the rules is given to the players, and token holders vote on in-game and organizational policies. The original goal was to form a decentralized virtual reality, but in practice, Decentraland has turned into a massive NFT market.

A special role in Decentraland is assigned to NFTs, such as collectibles, virtual equipment and real estate (LAND). However, for new players who want to join the universe and seize NFTs, the entry barrier will be high.

The Decentraland protocol is built on three levels using Ethereum smart contracts. On the consensus layer, the ownership of LAND is tracked and managed. The land content layer displays the content of the Decentraland virtual world. Finally, on the real-time layer, participants interact with each other.

The platform was co-founded by two blockchain experts, Ari Meilich and Esteban Ordano, in 2015. Officially it was launched a year later and became available only in February 2020, gradually turning from a 2D experiment into a full-fledged 3D world.

To sum up, Decentraland is a decentralized game and a 3D virtual reality platform where players own lands and create limitlessly. Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) software is at the core, and governance is in the hands of the community. Through the native token MANA, players participate in any proposals for managing and improving the ecosystem, the auction system, and the in-game policy.

Decentraland

Launched in 2011 by Pixowl, The Sandbox is a blockchain-based virtual world allowing users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. By combining the powers of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the Sandbox creates a decentralized platform for a thriving gaming community.

According to the official whitepaper, the Sandbox platform’s main mission is to introduce blockchain technology in mainstream gaming successfully. The platform focuses on facilitating a creative “play-to-earn” model, which allows users to be both creators and gamers simultaneously. The Sandbox employs the powers of blockchain technology by introducing the SAND utility token, which facilitates transactions on the platform.

The Sandbox

Smooth Love Potion (SLP) tokens are earned by playing the Axie Infinity game. This digital asset serves a replacement for experience points.

SLP are ERC-20 tokens, and they can be used to breed new digital pets that are known as Axies. The cost of breeding begins at 100 SLP but increases gradually — rising to 200 SLP for the second breed, 300 for the third, 500 for the fourth, 800 for the fifth and 1,300 for the sixth. Axies can be bred a maximum of seven times, and the seventh breed costs 2,100 SLP. This limit exists in order to prevent hyperinflation in the marketplace.

It can take time to accrue SLP through the game, and a player may need to win 15 competitions in order to gain enough tokens to perform their first breed. Purchasing SLP on the open market is a way for gamers to get a headstart.

Smooth Love Potion

DODO is a DeFi protocoldecentralized finance (DeFi) protocol and on-chain liquidity provider whose unique proactive market maker (PMM) algorithm aims to offer better liquidity and price stability than automated market makers (AMM).

The PMM pricing mechanism, which mimics human trading, utilizes oracles to gather highly accurate market prices for assets. It then provides enough liquidity close to these prices in order to stabilize the portfolios of liquidity providers (LP), lower price slippage and negate impermanent loss by allowing arbitrage trading as reward.

DODO also caters for new crypto projects with a free ICO listing through its Initial DODO Offering (IDO) which requires issuers to only deposit their own tokens.

DODO’s smart contract operates as an ERC20 token on the Ethereum network.
