Space Nation Online is an upcoming sci-fi space MMORPG developed for Windows PC by Space Nation Inc. Players assume the role of captains navigating their own customizable spaceships, embarking on a journey through treacherous star systems following the destruction of their home world. In this narrative, hibernation leads to awakening in a galaxy fraught with peril, as players encounter various factions, mercenaries, and alien species while striving to survive and prosper in an interconnected universe. Additionally, Space Nation integrates blockchain technology (Ethereum, Immutable) to record ownership of game-related assets such as NFTs (e.g. spaceships, characters, items, passes) and cryptocurrency ($OIK, $CHR), as well as to support decentralized governance.

Blockchain Integration
WhitepaperSpace Nation features some form of decentralized governance using DAO protocols, and a partially player-owned economy where players can effectively own and trade most in-game digital assets (e.g. spaceships, characters, items, passes, cryptocurrency) outside of the game, using smart contracts built on the Ethereum and Immutable zkEVM blockchains to record and secure transactions and ownership thereof. The game also has its own cryptocurrencies, $OIK, which is primarily used for governance and participation in the broader Space Nation game series, and $CHR, which is a medium of exchange used for economic activities and trades within the game.
Space Nation is not open source. While ownership of digital assets is decentralized and secured on the blockchain, users may not be able to run the game in the event that its online service is prematurely shut down.
