Alien Worlds is an ecosystem of games, content, applications, media, and more. Creations from around the world across all of these categories, unified by Trilium, NFTs, and Lore, are what makes Alien Worlds a metaverse. We are excited to present the latest developments from the second season of the Galactic Hubs grant program, and the community projects it supports. At Galactic Hubs, our mission is to empower creators, inspire innovation, and enhance the Alien Worlds metaverse through community initiatives, paving the way towards decentralization. Here is a summary of notable achievements with notes from the grant recipients.

Looking Ahead
It is no secret that generative AI is a revolution happening in parallel to blockchain. But it’s when these two technologies unite that we see their true potential. In addition, it has been inspiring to see the community embrace lore exploration and development, which makes up the connective tissue that gives meaning to the Alien Worlds metaverse. Galactic Hubs is keen to support projects that incorporate generative AI and/or lore development in Alien Worlds moving forward. Stay tuned for more info!
