Territories

The foundation of Planet IX consists of individual PIX. However, individual PIX are not productive assets by themselves. When adjacent PIX are connected to form Territory NFTs, more game mechanics unlock that will allow users to generate rewards. Territories are more valuable since they can be staked for monetary rewards denominated in IXT. A Territory is a collection of between 10 to 1000 PIX, all adjacent to at least one other PIX in the collection. The main strategic objectives for the A.O.C´s is to collect PIX in order to maximize their potential resource production and develop territories on Planet IX. To develop a territory, a player must obtain a sufficient number of adjacent PIX, and then go on to mint the collection of PIX into a new Territory NFT. The minting process is manifested in a burn mechanism in which an A.O.C. sends a cluster of adjacent PIX to a burn address and in turn receives a newly minted Territory NFT. The number of PIX required to form a particular kind of territory depends on the tier according to the table below: There are four main types of Territory NFTs: AREA, SECTOR, ZONE, and DOMAIN, with DOMAIN requiring the largest number of total PIX to form. Multiple PIX are linked together to create a Cluster. However, you are only allowed to mint a new Territory NFT once you link enough adjacent PIX together to form an AREA.
