what's Influence?

Influence is a fully onchain grand strategy massively multiplayer online (MMO) game built on Starknet, where players take on the role of survivors from the generational ship Arvad, stranded in the hostile Adalian asteroid belt. Starting from scratch, players mine resources, construct infrastructure, produce over 250 craftable items through 300+ scientifically grounded processes, and navigate realistic orbital mechanics across 250,000 real-time orbiting asteroids. The game emphasizes strategic depth with queued actions for flexible play, player-driven economies without NPCs, and the ability to form corporations, alliances, trade in open markets, and shift roles between miner, engineer, merchant, pilot, or scientist. All assets and actions are onchain, enabling true ownership and unbounded player creativity, including modding and app development. The native token SWAY powers the economy, used for trading, leasing buildings via pay-as-you-go, covering gas fees through session keys and fee abstraction, and participating in events like ship races. Future expansions include epic PVP space battles focusing on fleet composition, navigation, and confrontation strategies.
