# Smart Infrastructure
**Smart Infrastructure** in EVE Frontier transforms the game world into a truly programmable sandbox. As a builder, you’re empowered to create, extend, and customize persistent in-game structures (Smart Assemblies) using modern on-chain technology—centered now on the Sui blockchain and its language, Move. ## What Are Smart Assemblies? Smart Assemblies are special in-game infrastructure: programmable, player-built structures anchored to specific locations within the EVE Frontier universe. Each assembly can serve a unique mechanical purpose and exposes configurable interfaces for builders to innovate far beyond default gameplay features. Key examples include: * **Smart Storage Unit**: Storage and dispensing of items. * **Smart Turret**: Automated defense of zones and assets. * **Smart Gate**: Transportation or access control. * ...and many more to be designed, upgraded, and customized as the game continues to evolve. ## Builder Agency and Expression Smart Assemblies are at the heart of EVE Frontier’s open-world philosophy. Every base, turret, shop, or gate can be programmed with new logic, interfaces, and behaviors. As a builder, you can evolve a storage unit into a real-time marketplace, a quest dispensing kiosk, or a mini-game terminal. The underlying rules are transparent, verifiable, and persistent—once deployed, your innovations become part of the simulation and its history. What can you enable? * **New game mechanics** (trading, missions, rewards) * **Advanced asset management** (locking, dispensing, tokenization) * **Player-driven economies** and custom rulesets * **Automation** and real-time reactions to world events * **Composable systems that extend other builders' creations** — your marketplace can use someone else's currency, your gate can reference another player's access list * **External dApps and tools** that interact with the game world from outside the client * ...and much, much more. ## The Technology: Sui and Move Smart Assemblies are built and managed on the Sui blockchain, leveraging its unique features for developer access, composability, and security. Programming is done in [Move](https://move-language.github.io/move/), a language designed for safe, flexible on-chain interactions. > **Note:** You do not need to be a Move expert to get started. Many tools, templates, and builder guides simplify the process, letting you focus on gameplay, not boilerplate. ## Ready to Begin?
