Planet IX unfolds in a future 450 years after Earth’s downfall, with players as agents tasked to revive the shattered planet. This strategy game, live on blockchain since late 2021, draws over 100,000 daily users and holds assets in more than 220,000 wallets.
The core revolves around a map split into hexagonal units called PIX, each an NFT that players trade on the in-game marketplace or buy in packs. Linking these PIX creates territories that generate rewards, encouraging strategic collection and placement.
In Mission Control, positioned PIX on tiles yield waste materials, harvested manually or with tools like drones. These materials build facilities that produce energy, which players use for special packs or staking. All assets remain player-owned NFTs, supporting the free-to-play model with earning potential.
Beyond core play, the IX Foundation handles DeFi aspects, letting users stake assets or provide liquidity for token rewards. The IX Arena adds casual and competitive games, funded by platform revenues, where wins fund further exploration.
