Building The Ultimate Environment For AI Games
Abstract
The NIM RollApp will combine the latest in blockchain technology with gaming fundamentals to create experiences that are both crypto-native and fun. NIM will be the first RollApp powered by Dymension with Celestia DA technology underneath and based on EVM. The $NIM token will be the native token of the RollApp, used for transaction fees and staking with $DYM, $USDT and $USDC used for applications as well.
Who We Are
NIM is the result of a three-year journey by our team into the realms of gaming and deep-tech cryptography. The goal has always been to create unprecedented onchain experiences by experimenting with the most cutting-edge technologies. In the process, we invested in and incubated dozens of projects, grew a portfolio to over $50 million, and developed an early gaming ecosystem.
We have come to realize that Web3 gaming is stuck in two failure modes. One where onchain elements are superficial resulting in games that neither leverage the full power of blockchains nor are competitive with Web2 counterparts in the same genre. Another is crypto-native games that fall short of their promise because existing infrastructure cannot support their ambitious visions.
Our Vision
NIM will combine the latest in blockchain technology with gaming fundamentals to create experiences that are both crypto-native and fun. Imagine titles that take full advantage of the industry’s deep understanding of what makes games work, supercharged with digital ownership and incentive alignment that are only possible in Web3. We are starting with project REDACTED, a culmination of two years of R&D focused on AI agents and advanced crypto infrastructure.
NIM will be the first RollApp on Dymension, powered by Celestia DA technology and based on EVM. The $NIM token will be the native token of the RollApp, used for transaction fees and staking. Token emissions, gas fees, and other token distributions will be divided among stakers/community members and community pools, with the majority of the distributions going to the former. In addition to the $NIM token, we expect to use major cryptoassets such as $DYM, $USDT and $USDC for our games.

What should you expect from NIM?
With the launch of NIM, we’re introducing several initiatives to enhance communication and synergy between games and key infrastructure. This will unlock a new era of gaming that allows builders to experiment with incentives, user experience, and novel technologies in an unbounded way. We’re building the AI Gaming Coalition, a group of applications and infrastructure providers designed to unlock AI gaming at scale.
Phase 1: Creating the Best Infrastructure
NIM will form a coalition of leading projects, including games, supported apps, infrastructure, and tools. The goal is to unify components across the modular stack into a unique onchain experience, customizing native capabilities and establishing initial governance.
Phase 2: Evolving and Iterating to Build Unified Applications
Creating the ideal UX playground is just the start. It lays the foundation for a new generation of applications built on an evolving base layer, with a focus on gaming applications.
Phase 3: Unveiling the NIM Flywheel
NIM aims to establish an innovative, evolving chain mechanism. All participants, including stakers, governors, and partners, will be part of an economic loop, strengthening native capabilities for new applications. These applications will generate fees to fund more applications and reward community members, creating a compound effect - the NIM flywheel.
