Planet IX (AIX): Uses, Wallets and Risks

Planet IX is an NFT-based strategy game built around collecting PIX, pieces of a map representing a fallen planet. The game describes goals such as forming territories, developing technology, raiding other players and acquiring in-game corporations. Its map is made up of 1.6 billion individual PIX NFTs.

The token details need care: the game description names IX Token (IXT) as its utility token and says PIX are acquired using IXT. The asset covered here is Planet IX (AIX), but the project information does not clearly explain whether AIX replaces IXT or exactly how AIX is used in the game. Don’t assume that holding AIX automatically gives you access to game features or lets you buy PIX. Check the token name and contract carefully before transferring funds or interacting with a game marketplace.

AIX is issued on Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network. It is not listed as a native token of a blockchain. The Planet IX game description says its earlier IXT token launched on Polygon and that the project is migrating to Base, but it does not spell out the exact conversion or relationship between IXT and AIX. Treat them as distinct assets unless the project confirms otherwise.

To hold AIX yourself, you need a wallet that supports Base and the correct AIX token contract. Before sending tokens, confirm the network and contract through Planet IX’s official channels; a token with the same name or ticker on another chain may not be the same asset. A transfer sent to the wrong network or address may be difficult or impossible to recover. If you use a centralized exchange, check that it supports Base deposits and withdrawals for this specific token, rather than assuming every AIX listing uses the same network.

As of August 9, 2026, AIX has a reported circulating supply of about 235.9 million tokens. Its total and maximum supply are both 306 million, so the difference between the circulating and maximum figures is about 70.1 million tokens. The project details do not explain when or under what conditions the remaining supply may enter circulation.

On that date, AIX traded at about $0.0062, with a market capitalization of roughly $1.5 million and a fully diluted valuation of about $1.9 million. These are snapshots, not fixed values: price and market capitalization can change quickly, and reported supply figures may also be updated. Twenty-four-hour trading volume was not available in the figures, which makes it harder to judge trading activity from that snapshot alone. Check current figures before making any decision, and don’t treat the maximum supply as a guarantee of future value.

AIX carries several risks beyond ordinary price volatility. The game’s published description focuses on IXT, while the asset here is AIX; uncertainty about how the tokens relate could affect what you can do with AIX in the game. The project’s migration from Polygon to Base also means you should take extra care to use the correct token contract and network.

AIX’s reported market capitalization was small as of August 9, 2026, and trading volume was not available. A thin or inactive market can make it harder to trade at a price close to the one you expect. Game tokens also depend on continued interest in the game and the usefulness of its in-game assets; NFTs can be hard to resell, and their value is not guaranteed.

For self-custody, protect your recovery phrase offline, never share it, and check transaction details before signing. A wallet cannot reverse a mistaken transfer or protect you from every malicious contract or phishing attempt.
