**Project Elysium** was an [NFT](/contents/tech/core-protocols/nfts-on-radix) and storytelling project announced for Radix in April 2023. Its stated ambition was a community-owned science-fantasy saga – intellectual property that readers could contribute to and share in rather than only consume – to be delivered first as a graphic novel and a tabletop role-playing game. One trailer episode was published. Nothing else was.

## Announcement

The project was announced on 20 April 2023 as an attempt to build a decentralised story for a decentralised metaverse. Its framing treated Web3 as an ideology and an ownership model rather than a technology: decentralisation, community involvement in governance, and rewards weighted toward the most active contributors. Two initiatives were named – a story-rich graphic novel and a [Dungeons & Dragons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons)-style tabletop RPG – on the argument that comics and tabletop games have a low barrier to entry and generate intellectual property that fans can meaningfully co-own.

## Announced Plans

Four deliverables were promised, all of them described at the time as weeks away: details of the graphic novel and the RPG, a revised website, a whitepaper, and the NFT drop itself. None of the four was ever published.

## Outcome

What exists is a single episode. A trailer titled _Project Elysium Trailer_ was posted to the project's [Tapas series](https://tapas.io/series/ProjectElysium) on 29 October 2023 by the account `jandrsn317`, and as of August 2026 the series still carries that one episode – 499 views, one subscriber, no comments. The graphic novel, the tabletop RPG, the revised website, the whitepaper and the NFT drop were never released. The project is dormant.
