Nine Chronicles is a decentralized RPG.

Planetarium nabs $2.6M for decentralized RPG Nine Chronicles

Planetarium said its decentralized role-playing game Nine Chronicles, which uses nonfungible tokens (NFTs) so players can own and make their game assets, has raised $2.6 million.

NFT gaming unicorn Animoca Brands led the round ahead of the launch of Nine Chronicles’ governance token on the Ethereum cryptocurrency platform. Blockchain, the transparent and secure digital ledger, uses a decentralized network of computers to verify the data in its ledger. And Nine Chronicles is a decentralized game, run by the players. They can buy or earn tokens to get a voice in that community.
