Powered by Chromia’s On-Chain architecture for games
The full release uses Chromea Layer-1 relational blockchain platform with a modular framework for decentralized applications. Thanks to Chromia’s gasless interaction model, players avoid paying transaction fees when using blockchain features.
All core game data, such as world state and player progress, is stored on-chain using Chromia’s relational architecture. That means the game reduces reliance on external servers and goes beyond the asset-only models common in many Web3 games, enabling a more persistent and decentralized experience.
“This launch is an important milestone, not only for My Neighbor Alice but also for Chromia as a platform,” said Henrik Hjelte, co-founder of Chromia. “It shows how our architecture can power complex, persistent virtual worlds while keeping the experience smooth and intuitive.”
ALICE token integration and expansion of the NFT ecosystem
With the public release, the game now supports the ALICE token on the Chromia mainnet, enabling native functionality directly within gameplay. Although ALICE is not required to play, it unlocks additional features and allows players to delve deeper into the in-game economy.
Players can buy, sell and trade NFTs through the in-game marketplace, creating a dynamic, player-driven economy where they can also earn rewards and monetize their creations.
Plus, My Neighbor Alice has a collaboration with Pudgy Penguinsbringing all 40,000 NFTs from the collection into the game as fully animated 3D companions.
This expands the social layer of the game and shows the ability to integrate external resources, increasing its broader appeal to the community.
The launch of Chapter One: A New Adventure brings My Neighbor Alice out of testing and into full availability. By making the experience more accessible and lowering the barrier to entry, the game hopes to set an example for how Web3 titles can reach and retain a mainstream audience.
