Nine Chronicles: A Self-Expanding Ecosystem.

Dear 9C Adventurers,

We’re thrilled to unveil our roadmap for the year ahead, packed with exciting developments and innovations. This is a monumental journey, and while this update is detailed, it’s packed with vital insights. We encourage you to dive in and join us in anticipating an incredible future.

Since its inception, Nine Chronicles has been on an unwavering path of evolution, experiencing significant growth through strategic partnerships in the Web3 space. As we step into 2025, Nine Chronicles is ready for a transformative leap with a bold vision of becoming a self-expanding ecosystem.

Our journey has revealed that the real potential lies not in cramming endless features into a single game, but in launching multiple interconnected games under the Nine Chronicles IP. This strategy ensures a continuous flow of new games and new users into our ecosystem. By pushing the limits of our proprietary mainnet technology (Libplanet) and refining our token economy, NCG, we’re creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that thrives independently of external events or short-term collaborations.

Looking ahead to 2025, you can expect a consistent rollout of new titles powered by the Nine Chronicles IP and Libplanet. With community-driven governance (NCIP) and an enhanced decentralized environment through our transition to PoS, we’re poised to deliver an even richer and more immersive gaming experience.

Without further ado, let’s explore what’s in store!

Nine Chronicles: A Self-Expanding Ecosystem

[ Growth Through Strategic Collaborations ]

Nine Chronicles has achieved significant growth momentum via various partnerships.

[ BNB Chronicles ]
By integrating Binance’s BNB token with Nine Chronicles’ NCG, we created new token utilities, significantly boosting both community size and revenue.

[ Animoca Brands & MOCA ]
A special event linked with the MOCA token from “Mocaverse” resulted in monthly IAP revenue of 140K USD and a surge in community growth.

[ YGG (Yield Guild Games) ]
Partnering with the global blockchain gaming guild YGG led to a substantial increase in daily active users (DAU).

These collaborations demonstrated the powerful boosting effect of external partnerships alongside the power of a strong Web3 community. However, we also realized the interest can wane quickly once the events end.

[ From Temporary Boosts to a Sustainable Ecosystem ]

While collaborations brought impressive user inflow and revenue spikes, their effects were short-lived.

• After these collaborations ended, marketing resources, user interest, and transaction volumes dropped sharply.
• To counter this, we had to continuously update content or secure new partnerships.

To ensure sustainability, we’re shifting focus to expanding the Nine Chronicles IP across multiple interconnected games. This strategy targets diverse markets and user groups, fostering continuous excitement and fresh opportunities — key to building a self-sustaining ecosystem.

Completing Web3 Gaming: Nine Chronicles and Libplanet

Web3 gaming transcends simple enjoyment; it empowers players to contribute content, build assets, and boost the value within the ecosystem. By introducing new tokens and titles, we aim to grow the Nine Chronicles ecosystem, fostering an environment where players become active, integral participants rather than just users.

[ Freedom in Web3 Game Development ]

• We will leverage the Nine Chronicles IP to develop diverse games.
• By utilizing Libplanet, we will showcase how multiple games can operate on-chain, offering flexibility in ecosystem growth.

[ Decentralization and Scalability with PoS Transition ]

• Through staking-based governance, community members can actively participate in network operations and earn rewards, enhancing decentralization.
• Combining PoS consensus algorithm with Libplanet enables fast, stable transactions globally, allowing multiple games to smoothly run on the blockchain.

[ Continuous Improvement with NCIP ]

• We will actively incorporate community proposals (NCIP), enhancing gameplay experiences like PvP arenas.
• Shared systems across games can be flexibly adapted for each game through community governance.

[ Maximizing Token-Based Market Stability ]

• We will ensure smoother transaction by improving the stability and convenience of NCG market and external exchange platforms.
• As new games launch using the Nine Chronicles IP, they will connect with the NCG ecosystem in various ways, driving active trading and synergistic growth within the overall ecosystem.

[ New Games Based on Nine Chronicles IP + Libplanet Utilization ]

• Each new game will expand with unique concepts and systems.
• Players can share items, assets, and tokens across various new games, enriching their gameplay experience and ensuring that the ecosystem thrives via new game releases even if individual games reach saturation.
• NCG is at the core of Nine Chronicles economy. Upcoming games will expand NCG usage, allowing players to purchase new game tokens, participate in special events, acquire premium items, or access exclusive content.
• Special events like airdrops for new games or token swaps are in consideration for NCG holders. Also, heavy NCG holders will receive additional benefits and early access to new content.
• NCG demand will be maintained across new games, making it central to both Nine Chronicles and upcoming releases, naturally expanding the ecosystem
