Blockchain is ready for primetime use from experienced game development studios:

We are pleased to announce the creation of a revolutionary MMO, featuring a complex virtual economy blockchain with tradable assets.

The in-game currency will be Parsec Credits [PRSC], a utility token for access to the MMO ecosystem. Since it's an ERC20 token, cryptocurrency exchanges may also choose to list the token for trading vs fiat or ETH, BTC etc. The link between "real money" and PRSC lowers the threshold for investing in the Parsec Frontiers virtual economy, knowing that all players can cash out their in-game assets for BTC/ETH or fiat at any time.



All transactions involving items, resources and player spaceships in the game will be stored on a decentralized ledger. This enables advanced analysis of the economy to gain an information advantage  creating opportunities for machine learning and data mining techniques. It also serves to verify resources and player items in the total economy, enhancing gameplay and the intrinsic value of the virtual assets. The in-game economy becomes real and your in-game actions will have real-world financial consequences.



Parsec Frontier s is an online game about humanitys colonization of the stars and planets in the Milky Way. Starting from Earth, the actions of all players will shape the future of our galaxy. With a persistent game universe and a continually evolving timeline the race is on to explore, expand and exploit the riches to be found in other star systems. A fully player-driven economy blockchain will allow players to mine and refine rare metals, build advanced starships and defense systems, and buy and trade resources for profit on the planetary exchanges. Everything is tradeable, anything is possible!The in-game currency will be Parsec Credits [PRSC], a utility token for access to the MMO ecosystem.

Parsec Frontiers' developers have a genuine passion for games, and a track record of game development going back to the early days of the demo scene.



Parsec Frontiers is currently under development at Artplant's studios in Oslo, Norway and Tver, Russia. The backend uses Artplants advanced Erlang MMO server technology, expanded to support the Parsec Frontier blockchain. The server tech has been used in multiple games supporting tens of millions of players over seven years - when first used it worked with millions of players flawlessly for six months before going down for planned maintenance.



Complete team bios are found in the



The project is developed by Artplant  an established Norwegian/Russian game developer focused on creating advanced online games. Artplant has seen more than 25 million people play its games, and has previously created big hits such as Block N Load and Battlestar Galactica Online . It was founded in 2001 by developers with their roots in 90s console development, and shifted its focus to massive multiplayer online games in 2010.Parsec Frontiers' developers have a genuine passion for games, and a track record of game development going back to the early days of the demo scene.Parsec Frontiers is currently under development at Artplant's studios in Oslo, Norway and Tver, Russia.

The game client is made with Unity for HTML5, allowing the game to be played across all major operating systems and devices. This means you'll also be able to play on your mobile, or with browsers on Linux.



Unity has become the de facto development platform for tens of thousands of game developers across the world. Artplant has worked closely with Unity Technologies since its early days, creating some of the first GDC tech demos showcasing its powerful development environment.

To successfully store all assets and ownership information on a blockchain for an MMO is a highly demanding use case with several challenging requirements:



Enabling the project to issue own in-game digital assets

Support for smart contract programming and execution

The technology must scale to support millions of transactions per day

Most of the games blockchain transactions should be processed without incurring fees paid in a 3rd party token

Fast (seconds) transaction validation/confirmation

The technology should support pruning/checkpointing

Ease of organizing and executing crowd sale process

Simple token trading integration for exchanges

An MMO with high throughput transaction requirements for thousands of individual digital assets based on separate smart contracts will for cost, speed, capacity and storage reasons not be kept on the mainnet of current public blockchain platforms.



Parsec Frontiers plans to use a dual token structure with an open, public custom blockchain with permissioned elements inside of the game bridging to an Ethereum ERC20-token controlled by smart contracts on both blockchains. This enables easier access to trading exchanges and enhances liquidity for all stakeholders of the virtual economy, as well as allowing the project to process transactions without incurring mainnet transaction costs.



PRSC tokens represents the main means of payment in Parsec Frontiers. With seamless transfer between in-game and the Ethereum blockchain, the player has total control and ability to trade PRSC against other cryptocurrency pairs on real-life exchanges.



The game client will contribute a front-end interface to facilitate the dual token swap transactions. The Ethereum fee for transfers out of the smart contract will be payable in PRSC custom chain tokens and can be player-adjusted per desired transaction priority.



All in-game tradeable assets and resources, such as raw materials, alloys, crafted objects etc., will exist on the blockchain to enable total transparency in circulation and transactions taking place. Trading between all in-game assets will be facilitated on decentralized exchanges, keeping all trade fully transparent and trustless.

We are asking everyone in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community to help us fund an extremely advanced use case for blockchain technology. Our goal is to enable distributed storage of in-game assets for hundreds of thousands of simultaneous players, with millions of transactions per day. By doing this we will prove that open and public blockchains can be used for extremely demanding use cases such as an MMO.



Crowd sale and pre-sale details will be announced on December 11th in this thread. The pre-sale will take place from Jan 24th with a crowd-sale planned for April 2018. These will be the only opportunities to acquire Parsec Credits directly. Afterwards, the tokens may be acquired from exchanges.



A parsec (from parallax second) is a unit of astronomical distance. It is commonly used by astronomers, even though the general population mostly talk of light years to measure distance in space. One parsec is 3,08567758 x 10^16 meters, and the number of Parsec Credits created in our TGE will be 30.856.775.800 followed by six decimals.

The Parsec Credits purchased during the crowd sale will initially enable you to purchase spaceships and other early assets which provides profit opportunities within the game as it launches.



The meta-game will start with a new spaceship manufactured every day, which will be put up for auction to holders of PRSC. Every player will need a spaceship to play the game, and initially there will only be a limited number of pre-manufactured spaceships. Additional spaceships must then be manufactured by the players in the game after launch, using resources extracted from around the galaxy.



Parsec Credits can also be used to acquire development project colony sites on the initial 17 inhabitable planets in the galaxy.

The Parsec Frontiers Foundation will manage the proceeds from the pre-sale and crowd sale. It is to be established for the sole purpose of overseeing the continuous development and successful operations of the game. The foundation will be incorporated in Switzerland.

We have created a generous bounty campaign for the community, with 400 million (1.296%) of the total Parsec Credits allocated to reward community contributions leading up to the pre-sale. Note that all reserved tokens will be shared among the bounty campaign participants without exceptions.

The pre-sale bounty campaign ends on January 31st 2018.



There will be a separate bounty campaign leading up to the crowd sale, and if you participate in this pre-sale bounty campaign you can also participate in the crowd sale bounty campaign currently planned for March 1st until April 30th to earn additional Parsec Credits.



Please note that both pre-sale and bounty tokens will be distributed simultaneously with the tokens sold in the crowd sale. This will ensure fair trading on an equal footing amongst all participants in the sales.
