Planetarium Labs - a new frontier for gaming

Planetarium Labs is an open source, community-driven Web3 game company focused on delivering the future of entertainment through decentralized content and technologies. They believe that communities can create infinite possibilities through decentralized innovations and strive to empower massively multiplayer online games with creative freedom and player governance. Planetarium Labs has an integrated team of core blockchain development, game publishing, and Web3 content studio, all aligned on creating powerful synergies between technology and communities. Planetarium Labs is partnered with the industry's leading companies, including Binance, Ubisoft, The Sandbox, Wemade, Hashed, Sfermion, IDEO COLAB, XLGAMES, and SAMSUNG NEXT.

Planetarium Labs aims to become a pioneer of open-source, decentralized blockchain games that operate on networks powered by the players. The company is building a gaming ecosystem based on Libplanet blockchain technology, which allows players to participate in the game network and gives the community a chance to play a major role in open-source content development. The company plans to focus on continuously improving the Libplanet ecosystem for decentralized gaming, and introduce several initiatives like ecosystem fund and community support programs to foster participation and drive continued growth.

Libplanet played a pivotal role in Nine Chronicles, the world’s first open-source online RPG running entirely on its own blockchain. Boasting a community of more than 300,000 players, Nine Chronicles has earned the support of Animoca Brands, Binance Labs, Ubisoft, and The Sandbox. With its extensive blockchain-based ecosystem development and publishing expertise, Planetarium Labs is working closely with major game studios from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region to launch a multiple community-driven game.

Planetarium Labs has raised a total of $32M in funding. Lijun Seo and Yujeong Nam are the co-founders of Planetarium Labs.
