**Alien Worlds** has increased the mining reward allocation power for Union DAOs. Custodians can now redirect up to **35% of their planet's mining rewards** to a chosen wallet, an increase from the previous 25% limit. **Key changes:** - Previous limit: 25% of mining rewards - New limit: 35% of mining rewards - Applies to all Union DAO custodians **Impact:** This expansion gives each DAO more flexibility to fund initiatives that support their planet and community. The change continues a trend of increasing decentralization - the limit was previously raised from 10% to 25% in October 2025. The adjustment allows DAOs to better allocate Trilium (TLM) tokens toward engagement, growth, and innovation within their respective communities in the metaverse.

Alien Worlds has released new limited-time offers in their Outpost marketplace, featuring three weapon NFTs: - **Sungorger** - **Divine Blade** - **Waxon Fire Sword** Players can purchase these items to strengthen their in-game arsenal. The offers are available for a limited period through the [Outpost marketplace](https://play.alienworlds.io/outpost). This follows the game's ongoing model where players use NFTs to participate in gameplay, with even a single NFT being sufficient to start playing and competing in the metaverse economy built around the TLM token.
