Aphelium is a Discord-based, space-themed NFT game that utilizes the WAX blockchain for gasless transactions and user-friendliness. Aphelium is free to play for anyone who wants to join the Discord server and try it out. Since the game is so new, its consistently being expanded and evolving into something quite awesome. This is why each of my posts here will be a bit short, so I can make sure I capture everything properly when I explain it. Currently, Aphelium has several tool and food recipes that can be crafted with the items you gain from exploring and/or working, however, in order to craft, you will need to purchase a Land NFT from a drop or on the secondary market. The price barrier to entry is fairly low on secondary market, with several common rarity lands being sold for between $5 to $10 USD in WAX. 

Aphelium officially launched in the beginning lf July 2023 and has an awesome community of early adopters and newer supporters alike and is showing excellent growth! If you're interested in jumping a little ahead of me and the articles I am posting, you can join the Discord now, and feel free to introduce yourself and tag me @blockchainworm to announce your arrival! I will be more than glad to help you through the first steps of getting your feet wet in Aphelium.

My next articles will outline what a new player can do when starting out playing Aphelium. 

Please note: thru October 6, 2023, if you join the Discord (using the link I have provided), and make progress to Level 3, you will receive your choice of 3000 Chat XP or a Chest NFT which can be staked to your Land to increase its storage capacity significantly!
