Eve Online creator CCP Games has officially renamed its upcoming blockchain-based game, previously known as Project Awakening, to Eve Frontier.
The game is developed on the Ethereum ecosystem, leveraging its layer 2 network Redstone built on Optimism technology.
Through Eve Frontier, CCP Games is integrating blockchain-based features such as tokenized economies and player-driven infrastructure, marking its first entry into the blockchain gaming space.

Eve Frontier is a space survival simulation where players must work together to build and expand in a persistent on-chain world.
The game is designed with blockchain technology at its core, allowing players to build and customize infrastructure, shape the economy, and interact with the universe in a player-driven environment. Unlike traditional games, Eve Frontier integrates Ethereum-based tokens and smart contracts to achieve decentralized control of in-game assets and economy.
The game includes two main tokens: $EVE token (utility token on Ethereum) and $LUX token (used for in-game transactions).
Players can also create their own currency in the game, which can be used to reward developers and other players who contribute to the game world.

Eve Frontier is built using CCP Games’ proprietary Carbon engine and the MUD on-chain engine developed by Lattice.
One of the game’s main features is its “Smart Components” system, where players can create customizable structures such as storage units or trading posts. These structures can be programmed using Ethereum’s Solidity smart contracts, providing players with a high degree of flexibility and control.
In addition, CCP Games also stated that the Carbon engine will be open source, allowing players and developers to modify and expand the game world.
Eve Frontier’s next closed beta is scheduled for September 27 and will be available on PC and Mac.
