My Neighbor Alice is a decentralized, multiplayer builder game that operates on the blockchain. It offers a unique blend of social simulation and building mechanics, similar to games like Animal Crossing and Minecraft, where players can own and trade virtual assets such as land and items in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The game utilizes its native token, ALICE, for in-game purchases, governance, and other economic activities .
My Neighbor Alice is built on the Chromia blockchain, with compatibility allowing interactions with blockchains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana. The game deploys Non-Fungible Tokens to represent in-game assets, facilitating ownership and trade similar to owning physical property. The platform uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism for creating new blocks, which enhances energy efficiency and resource management. Smart contracts govern secure transactions within the game, including a trustless system for lending and borrowing NFTs .
My Neighbor Alice was developed by Antler Interactive, a game studio acquired by ChromaWay, with its launch announced in 2021. The project has attracted significant interest due to its innovation in blockchain gaming. Notable milestones include its partnerships (such as with ELLE), and its transition to Chromia's mainnet in 2024, marking it as a pioneering fully on-chain game. It has successfully raised funding to advance its development, highlighting its promising potential in Web3 gaming .
