AiX Play is a fast-paced, play-to-earn space arcade shooter game designed to be played as a Telegram Mini App. It is part of the broader AiXovia ecosystem, which is centered around an AI-driven trading platform. In AiX Play, players control a spaceship and combat escalating waves of enemies, collecting power-ups to improve their ship's capabilities. The game is designed for short, engaging sessions, featuring a competitive, score-focused system that appeals to both casual and dedicated players. ^{[1] [2]}​

Overview

AiX Play is positioned as a "Telegram-native, multichain arena" focused on competitive multiplayer warfare. The core gameplay loop involves players surviving against enemies in real-time, with all combat actions verified by a server-authoritative system to ensure fairness. As of January 2026, the game is live in a Beta Demo version, which allows for free-to-play access and features ongoing tournament cycles. ^{[3] [1]}

The game is a component of the larger AiXovia project, which describes itself as a "Hybrid Intelligence Trade Signal & GameFi ecosystem." The parent project's stated mission is to create a more fair and stable trading environment by using an advanced artificial intelligence to analyze markets and orchestrate a network of over 1,000 human traders, referred to as Human Processing Units (HPUs). AiXovia claims to be "fully autonomous," with no public-facing team or CEO, and intends for governance to be managed by a future decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). AiX Play serves as a community engagement and GameFi extension of this ecosystem. ^{[4] [2]}

The core of AiX Play's operations, including game room management and in-game incentives, is reportedly handled in real time by "Xovia," which is described as a "fully autonomous brain." While the Beta Demo allows for free play, player data and progress for accounts connected via a crypto wallet, Google, Telegram, or X account are designed to persist. ^{[5] [3]}

History and Development

The AiXovia project began its public activities in mid-2025, with its official X (formerly Twitter) account being created in June of that year. In July 2025, the project launched a major airdrop campaign for its primary ecosystem token, $AIX, and announced a collaborative trading campaign with the cryptocurrency exchange OKX. The $AIX token was launched on the MEXC exchange around July 20, 2025. ^[6]

A significant event in the project's early history occurred on July 30, 2025, when it executed a token burn, destroying 900 million $AIX, or 90% of the initial total supply. The stated purpose of this event was to create a deflationary model for the token. Following this, the project continued to establish its presence, launching a giveaway event in partnership with KuCoin Web3 in October 2025. The latter part of 2025 saw the launch of the $AIXDROP token for a community airdrop and presale, with its Token Generation Event (TGE) taking place in November 2025. ^{[6] [4] [7]}

Development of the AiX Play game became public in early 2026. On January 15, 2026, the project released the "aiXplay Alpha Demo v3.0" to the public. Concurrently, a presale was initiated for the game's native token, $AIXPLAY. Shortly after, on January 18, 2026, the project announced the launch of the Beta Demo v1.0, which integrated the "Xovia" AI brain as the core of the game's operations. ^{[6] [5] [1]}

Gameplay Mechanics

The gameplay in AiX Play is structured around short, competitive sessions focused on achieving a high score through survival and enemy destruction. The mechanics are designed to be accessible while offering depth through various scoring multipliers and rotating challenges. ^[1]

Game Modes

AiX Play features two primary game modes:

• Free Game: This is an always-on demo mode with no entry fee. It operates in continuous 16-minute tournament cycles, allowing both demo and connected accounts to participate. Each cycle is broken down into four phases:
  • Lobby: A 15-second pre-game waiting period.
  • Gameplay: A 14-minute and 30-second active combat phase where players compete for scores.
  • Finishing: A 1-minute warning period before the game ends.
  • Results: A 15-second display of final rankings and a countdown to the next cycle.
• Mission: This mode refers to a paid match that requires an entry fee and offers rewards. Players can join a specific mission or share one with others using a short alphanumeric "Sector" code. ^[1]

Mission Directives

To add variety to gameplay, each session features a rotating "Mission Directive." These directives are predefined sets of modifiers that alter core gameplay parameters such as ship handling, enemy spawn rates, enemy bullet speed, and score multipliers. The defined directive sets include:

• Balanced: The baseline experience with no modifications.
• Thrusters: +8% Handling, +2% Spawn Rate, +2% Score.
• Bullet Time: -6% Spawn Rate, -10% Bullet Speed, -4% Score.
• Overdrive: +3% Handling, +15% Spawn Rate, +12% Bullet Speed, +10% Score.
• Precision: -2% Spawn Rate, -4% Bullet Speed, +1% Score.
• Surge: +7% Handling, +8% Spawn Rate, +3% Bullet Speed, +5% Score.
• Shields Up: -10% Spawn Rate, -6% Bullet Speed, -5% Score. ^[1]

Scoring System

Points are calculated using a "Score Stack" system, which combines several factors to reward skilled play:

• Survival: Players earn a base rate of 20 points for every second they stay alive.
• Combo Multiplier: This multiplier increases by 0.1x for each enemy kill made within 3.5 seconds of the last one. It has a maximum cap of 3.0x.
• Fever: A temporary state that can be activated, providing a 3x score multiplier for 10 seconds. It has a 3-second cooldown after use.
• Score Boost (Pickup): A collectible power-up that adds +1x to the score multiplier for 15 seconds. This boost is stackable up to a maximum of 5x.
• Difficulty Multiplier: This multiplier is applied to the bounty of enemies as the game's difficulty increases over time. ^[1]

Enemies and Bounties

The game features a variety of enemy types, each with a different base bounty value before multipliers are applied:

• Fighter: 50 points
• Swarmer: 30 points
• Bomber: 150 points
• Tank: 400 points
• Boss: 5,000 points
• Golden Satoshi: 10,000 points
• Rug Puller: 400 points
• Gas Leech: 150 points ^[1]

Technology and Architecture

AiX Play is built as a Telegram-native application, allowing it to be accessed directly within the messaging platform. Its technical architecture is designed to support a real-time, competitive multiplayer environment. ^[3]

The platform utilizes a server-authoritative combat system, where all player actions and game events are processed and validated by the server. This model is implemented to prevent cheating and ensure a fair gameplay experience for all participants. To support responsive multiplayer gameplay, the system employs real-time netcode optimized for low-latency interactions. The project describes the game as a "multi-chain arena," and users are able to connect and authenticate their accounts using crypto wallets from various blockchains, as well as through Google, Telegram, or X accounts. Player data, such as progress and rewards, is processed and stored server-side. ^{[3] [1]}

AiXovia Ecosystem and Tokenomics

AiX Play and its native token are part of the broader AiXovia financial ecosystem, which has its own token and operational model. ^[4]​

The AiXovia Ecosystem

The parent AiXovia project is framed as an autonomous financial system designed to counter market manipulation. A central claim of the project is that it is the "World's First Fully Autonomous AI that orchestrates human traders." This "Hybrid Intelligence Model" works by having a central AI Brain analyze market data across multiple layers (quantitative, qualitative, on-chain, and sentiment) to formulate trading strategies. These strategies are then issued as signals to a vetted network of over 1,000 human traders who provide a final layer of validation before execution. ^{[4] [7]}​

Two key components of this ecosystem are:

• Operation Hydra: An active market management system designed to monitor the $AIX token market for manipulative activity and deploy counter-trades to stabilize its price.
• The Momentum Engine: An autonomous buyback mechanism that uses a portion of profits generated from the project's external market operations to conduct hourly buybacks of the $AIX token from the open market, creating continuous buy pressure. ^[4]

$AIX Token

The primary utility token of the AiXovia ecosystem is $AIX, an SPL token on the Solana blockchain. Its initial max supply was 1 billion tokens before a burn event on July 30, 2025, removed 90% of the supply, leaving a final total supply of 100 million. The token's contract address is AiXxRGmRc5oDiFXbEeRX9obPpr3Zir7rks1ef2NjddiF. The utility of $AIX is primarily tied to the AiXovia trading platform, where holding it is required to access AI-generated trade signals and the future signal marketplace. It is also designed to accrue value from the Momentum Engine's buybacks. ^{[4] [5]}​

$AIXPLAY Token and Presale

The native token for the AiX Play game is $AIXPLAY. As of January 2026, the token is undergoing a public presale that began on January 15, 2026. The presale is structured with the following terms:

• Pricing Mechanism: The presale uses a dynamic pricing model. It started at a price of 0.000100 USDT per token, which increases by 0.0000010 USDT for every $10,000 in funds raised.
• Funding Goals: The presale has a soft cap of 300,000 USDT-equivalent and no hard cap. It is scheduled for a maximum duration of 45 days but may close early if 24 hours pass with no new contributions.
• Participation: A minimum deposit of $50 USDT-equivalent is required, with no maximum limit. KYC (Know Your Customer) is not required to participate.
• Post-Presale Timeline: The Token Generation Event (TGE) is targeted for approximately 72 hours after the presale concludes, with a centralized exchange listing planned for about 9 days after the sale's end.
• Referral Program: A 10% referral bonus is offered to participants, scheduled to be paid out 72 hours after the TGE. ^{[3] [1]}
