📢 $PIXEL Ecosystem Update

Staking, Forgotten Runiverse & Pixel Dungeons are delivering 👏

We launched $PIXEL Staking two weeks ago, and the community response has been overwhelmingly positive.

To date, over 73 million $PIXEL staked across our first three games: Core Pixels, Pixel Dungeons, and Forgotten Runiverse.

We are building a player-driven, decentralized publishing ecosystem where your voice, support, and engagement shape the future, and the early results from staking prove this model works.

💎 What Staking Enables

As a reminder, with $PIXEL Staking, players can:

• Earn rewards for backing the games they believe in.

• Influence game development by directing visibility and resources.

• Grow the ecosystem by helping build a sustainable, community-powered economy.

Unlike traditional staking systems, $PIXEL Staking is designed so that both players and games win. When you stake your $PIXEL in a game and it performs well, you earn more. Developers, in turn, get access to more visibility and rewards when the community shows support. It’s a system built for sustainability, not just temporary hype.

🧠 A Smarter Ecosystem

The staking data we receive fuels Pixels’ proprietary play-to-earn technology, training prediction models, improving reward efficiency, and powering future publishing decisions. It’s also how we’ll measure and optimize Return on Reward Spend (RORS), our north star for ensuring the long-term success of Pixels - and ultimately all of Web3 gaming.

⛏️ Pixel Dungeons Update

Over 300,000 $PIXEL has been distributed to stakers in just two weeks!

Pixel Dungeons has seen a strong early response from the community. Players are exploring new dungeon mechanics and staking in growing numbers. The team has made onboarding even easier, and you can now sign in using social accounts like X, Discord, and Google, lowering the barrier for Web2 players to join.

🏆 Recent Highlights:

• A Leaderboard Challenge concluded on Sunday, rewarding players for defeating goblins in the dungeons. The top performer earned 25,000 $PIXEL, with a total of 200,000 $PIXEL distributed across the leaderboard.

• A newly launched Referral System allows players to earn up to 50,000 Pickaxes, valued at 1,250 $PIXEL, by inviting friends.

• Guilds were introduced alongside the first Guild Leaderboard, featuring a 100,000 $PIXEL prize pool. Running through this Sunday, the leaderboard tracks which guilds mine the most ores.

With consistent feature updates and a rapidly growing community, Pixel Dungeons is emerging as a major pillar in the $PIXEL staking ecosystem.

🎯 Strategic Goals

• Optimize RORS: Driving better alignment between game success and reward allocation.

• Sustainable Growth: Using data and insights from staking to attract quality games and players who are committed to the long-term health of the ecosystem.

• Decentralized Decision-Making: Letting the community guide where attention, rewards, and resources go.

👀 What is Coming Up

• $vPIXEL Integration: We are pushing to have this live by the end of the month. $vPIXEL is a new utility token, backed 1:1 by $PIXEL and usable across partner games without fees via Limit Break’s ERC20c technology.

• Pets Game Launch: A new title entering the $PIXEL staking ecosystem soon, which is designed around lighter, more casual mechanics with strong social features.

• More Games Coming: We’re in talks with additional first- and third-party developers. Staking will become the foundation for a growing ecosystem of games, each with unique mechanics and reward models.

💬 We’re Just Getting Started

We care deeply about what we’re building, which is why we are emphasizing rewarding players who also believe in contributing to a long-lasting, player-powered Web3 ecosystem. We’ve had to make hard choices along the way, but we’re not building for extractors or short-term thinkers. We’re building for the players who want to see this succeed five, seven, even ten years from now. That means prioritizing sustainable growth, smarter incentives, and a stronger core game.

We’re focused on real users, real contribution, and real value. Each day, we are building a stronger Pixels. If you’re here to build with us, we’re glad you’re here.
