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, 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.

Building and Deploying

• Write and test your code locally — new to Move? Start with the Hello World example

• Package your assembly logic as a Move module

• Deploy it on Sui to bring your innovation to the live persistent world

• Share, upgrade, and collaborate with other builders
