All your competitions in one place!
The Alien Worlds UI acts as a portal for metaverse competitions. The system runs entirely on-chain, giving players complete visibility over competition details, rules, and reward distribution. Being entirely on-chain allows game developers (regardless of platform) to simply integrate into the Alien Worlds economy while also providing complete flexibility for game UI integration.
This system supports community developers, DAOs, and players who want to run events with clear rules, tracked performance, and rewards in Trilium, Shards, or both! Competitions can be tied to mining, missions, or other game platforms such as STEAM, mobile app stores or browser. It gives players a way to discover competitions, follow progress, and join through each game’s site, with prize distribution handled through a process that is visible from start to finish.
How It Works
Each competition follows a defined lifecycle that moves from registration to live play, then through result processing and final reward distribution. Players can register during the opening phase, take part once the competition begins, and track scores as the event progresses. After the competition ends, results are reviewed before rewards are made available. This structure removes guesswork and keeps every stage of the competition aligned with how it was set up.
Joining a Competition
Competitions can be found through the Alien Worlds interface, where they are grouped by their current stage so you can quickly find where to participate.
Upcoming competitions appear during the preparing stage, where you can review the details and register before the event begins. Once a competition moves into the playing stage, it becomes live and scores can be updated as the event progresses. Some competitions may allow late registration at this stage, depending on how they are configured.
After the competition ends, it moves into processing and then auditing, where results are finalized and reviewed. Once approved, the competition enters the rewarding stage, where eligible players can claim their rewards. Completed Competition remain visible for reference after all rewards have been claimed.
Before joining, you can review key details such as reward pools, timing, participation limits, and where the competition takes place.
Creating a Competition
Anyone can create a competition by interacting with the competitions contract. The process starts by calling the initcomp action, which creates the competition and sets the foundation for how it will run.
When calling initcomp, you define:
- Title and description
- Start and end time
- Minimum and maximum players
- Whether late registration is allowed
- A link to the experience players will use
The account that submits this transaction becomes the admin of the competition. From that point forward, the admin manages the competition through each stage.
Adding Rewards and Running the Competition
After creating the competition, rewards are added directly to it.
Trilium is added by transferring tokens to the competition contract and including the competition ID in the memo. This builds the reward pool for the event. Multiple contributors can support the same competition, allowing communities, DAOs, or individuals to contribute.
Shard rewards can also be added through the system using the addshards action.
Once the competition is live, the admin can update scores using scoreset or scoreincr. These actions track player performance during the event.
When the competition ends, the admin assigns rewards using the declwinner action. This defines how the reward pool is split based on results. After review and approval, rewards move to a claimable state and players can claim them through the system.
Rewards
Each competition defines its reward structure before it begins. Prize pools can include Trilium and Shards, with allocations set in advance. After results are reviewed and approved, rewards become available to claim. This ensures that payouts follow the original structure without manual intervention.
Transparency at Every Stage
Competitions are designed to be clear and verifiable from start to finish. Prize pools are visible before you join. Results pass through a review stage before rewards are released. If issues are raised, they can be addressed before final approval. If a competition does not meet requirements or is rejected, rewards are returned to contributors. This helps maintain confidence across the ecosystem.
What This Means for Players
Competitions add a new layer of activity across Alien Worlds. You can take part in structured events, track your performance during live play, and earn rewards tied to your results. You can also create and run your own competitions, define the rules, and support rewards for others to participate. This system supports a more connected and active environment, where gameplay, rewards, and community participation work together.
