Alien Worlds has introduced a competition system that runs entirely on-chain through its interface. Players can now: - **Participate in competitions** across mining, missions, and other gameplay experiences - **Track performance** and earn rewards in Trilium (TLM) or Shards - **Create custom competitions** with their own rules and reward structures The system provides complete transparency, with all competition details, rules, and reward distribution visible on-chain. Game developers can integrate into the Alien Worlds economy regardless of platform (STEAM, mobile, browser). The interface serves as a central portal where players discover competitions, monitor progress, and join through individual game sites. Prize distribution follows a structured, trackable process from start to finish. This framework supports community developers, DAOs, and players who want to organize events with clear parameters and automated reward handling.
