Following a busy Q4 in 2023, Pixels, the social RPG, announced the introduction of the $PIXEL token in 2024. This development comes after migrating from Polygon to Ronin, highlighting the game's commitment to innovating web3.

$PIXEL, positioned as a premium in-game currency, brings a level of exclusivity and challenge different from the existing $BERRY token. While details on $PIXEL's utility are limited, early indications suggest a focus on guild features and the impact on pet mints post Mocaverse x Pixels integration.

Leading up to the impending $PIXEL token airdrop, Pixels is maintaining the excitement through generous giveaways. Following a recent play-to-airdrop campaign, Pixels enthusiasts now have the opportunity to acquire in-game NFTs, Ronin ($RON) tokens, and VIP memberships.

Valuable NFTs

The giveaway, initiated on Twitter, started with a chance for fans to secure a valuable Farm Land plot. These Ethereum-based NFTs, valued at around 1.6 ETH (approximately $3,500), mark the beginning of an array of rewards. Players can also anticipate additional perks through "daily tasks" within the web-based farming and social game, beginning Thursday.

In a recent AMA, Pixels CEO Luke Barwikowski expressed dedication, stating, "In 2024, I want to prove the play-to-earn model can be sustainable." Barwikowski went on to hint at the proximity of the $PIXEL token launch, emphasizing that there won't be another play-to-airdrop campaign before the debut.

Having conducted two such campaigns, rewarding approximately 28,000 eligible wallets, Barwikowski assured players that the game would introduce its own play-to-earn rewards once the token is live.

Originally developed on the Ethereum sidechain network Polygon, Pixels migrated to Ronin in late October 2023, contributing to a surge in user activity. Developed by Sky Mavis, the visionary mind behind Axie Infinity, Ronin is a blockchain designed to enhance the gaming experience, tackling issues such as high gas fees and sluggish transaction speeds on Ethereum. Ronin also hosts projects like Wild Forest, The Machines Arena, Apeiron, and Battle Bears Heros, solidifying its position as one of the most popular web3 gaming chains.

The web3 gaming landscape is witnessing a wave of token airdrops as protocols seek to reward early contributors. Xai, an Arbitrum gaming network, recently hosted a significant airdrop for its $XAI token. Simultaneously, Nifty Island, Apeiron, Nyan Heros, Blocklords, and others are running their play-to-airdrop campaigns. In this evolving space, Pixels distinguishes itself by offering a practical blend of NFTs, Ronin tokens, and the promise of future play-to-earn dynamics, setting the stage for an engaging gaming experience.
