Delysium: AI-driven Cyber Metaverse AAA Game

Author: veDAO Research Institute

Project Introduction

Delysium is a decentralized gaming platform built on Ethereum, with its native token being DMA. Delysium is also the first playable AAA blockchain game listed on Epic Games. The goal of Delysium is to create a virtual world where 100 million people and 10 billion AI virtual beings coexist on the blockchain. Delysium emphasizes a diverse open-world MMORPG experience, including AI-driven MetaBeing gameplay that propels the Web3 gaming industry into the next phase.

MetaBeing refers to the "virtual natives" composed of AI on Delysium, which can be users' own digital versions, companions, and NPCs that traverse various scenarios such as games, communities, and media platforms. In Delysium, everyone can create their own AI virtual existence and gradually develop their personality and abilities. In addition to playing games with them, players can interact with their AI virtual beings through natural language conversations, learn about cryptocurrencies, check and trade cryptocurrency assets, discover cryptocurrency opportunities, and more.

As more players join the game, Delysium aims to provide them with the same level of creative freedom and tools as some AAA titles, including UGC editors and AI MetaBeing configurations. Furthermore, driven by a decentralized game distribution structure, an increasing number of games with customized token economics and on-chain assets (such as NFTs or tokens) will be connected, gradually making AI-driven virtual societies more prosperous. All Delysium worlds come together to form the Delysium multiverse, with each universe operated by different Delysium Multiverse Operators (DMOs), creating highly diverse gaming experiences and unique on-chain incentive layers (OIL) for players.

Features

As more professional gaming teams enter the Web3 industry, the quality of Web3 games in the market will become more refined, and the variety and gameplay will significantly improve. However, no Web3 game's token economic mechanism can be deemed perfect; teams looking to operate Web3 games in the long term must face the challenge of continuously optimizing their token economics. Delysium's solution is to decouple the gaming experience from on-chain incentives, replacing a single centralized token incentive mechanism with a multi-party participation token incentive scheme. Compared to traditional games that concentrate on a single incentive method, the decoupling of the experience layer and the incentive layer will eliminate restrictions, providing players with more differentiated incentive forms and rules, thereby promoting creativity across the entire market.

This approach involves the participation of third-party Delysium Multiverse Operators (DMOs) mentioned earlier. They can independently issue NFTs based on Delysium's IP and customize the economic systems within the game, integrating third-party tokens, and issuing different on-chain incentives based on player behavior and performance data in Delysium games.

In addition to customizing incentives for players, DMOs can collaborate with the Delysium team to create better gameplay, game modes, and various types and appearances of game assets, continuously bringing high-quality gaming experiences to players. Delysium aims to create a sustainable and more fair and open environment, so operators do not need to pay fees or maintain servers; they only need to share revenue with Delysium developers in subsequent game operations. This revenue-sharing model will also encourage more DMOs to engage in refined user management, and they will return the collected user feedback to Delysium's development, promoting iterative improvements to the game.

Funding Situation

Delysium completed its first round of private placement (March 2022) with $4 million, led by Galaxy Interactive, Republic Crypto, and Alameda Research. In October of the same year, Delysium announced the completion of a $10 million strategic financing round, led by Anthos Capital, with participation from Immutable, GSR, Blockchain Coinvestors, Leonis Capital, Antalpha Ventures, Perion, and Formless Capital.

Team

Delysium's parent company, rct AI, is a company focused primarily on AI, embedding AI-driven genes into its product Delysium. Founded in September 2018, rct AI is a startup with AI as its main research and development direction and is also a participant in the Y Combinator incubator. The company has received millions of dollars in seed funding from Starry Sky Capital and Y Combinator, as well as a $10 million Series A investment from Makers Fund.

The Delysium production team has mature experience in overall operational management and possesses rich commercialization methods. Delysium has established an AAA-level production team in both R&D and art design. EP and Bo have worked at Riot Games for nearly 8 years and have been leading figures at Riot Games. The production team also includes experienced and strong industry veterans from Ubisoft, EA, Scopely, Kabam, Xsolla, especially those with rich experience in AAA production. The R&D team has collaborated for many years and includes industry-leading engineers, particularly in the MMO and AAA game fields, with over 10 years of development experience.

Token Information

Delysium's tokens are divided into DMA and AGI. In simple terms, DMA can be seen as Delysium's governance token, while AGI is the in-game currency. DMA can be staked to earn AGI rewards, allowing DMA holders to collaborate with Delysium Multiverse Operators to build a prosperous ecosystem. Delysium refers to DMA as the Delysium multiverse accelerator, used to accelerate the development of Delysium's multiverse ecosystem. AGI will serve as its core loyalty and ecosystem participation layer to incentivize the Delysium community. Unlike other complex dual-token models, AGI will be used to align rather than separate governors, players, investors, and content creators, thus integrating as much platform value as possible into one token. The native AGI is built on Ethereum and BNB chains, with a total fixed supply of 3 billion.

These two mechanisms are designed to ensure that Delysium's games operate in a more decentralized and ESG-friendly manner.
