What is Pixels?
Pixels is a free-to-play farming and social game played in the browser, with land on the Ronin chain. PIXEL is the governance and staking token; players stake it into games they want to support. Pixels says it has over 10 million players and ships updates every two weeks.
How Pixels works
Pixels uses staking to decide which games receive PIXEL rewards.
You stake PIXEL into a game, and games compete for stakers on retention and in-game spend. In the beta phase, fixed monthly pools paid 20 million PIXEL to Core Pixels, 2 million to Pixel Dungeons and 5 million to Forgotten Runiverse. The next phase caps ecosystem rewards at 28 million PIXEL per month, split by how much is staked to each game.
When you withdraw rewards you choose between PIXEL, which carries a Farmer Fee, and vPIXEL, a spend-only token backed 1:1 by PIXEL that has no withdrawal fee but cannot trade on exchanges. vPIXEL can be spent in partner games or restaked with full staking power. Of PIXEL spent in-game, 80% goes to the community treasury (with part now routed to stakers) and 20% returns to ecosystem rewards.
How to start with Pixels
- Pixels is a browser game.
- To stake, the whitepaper's quick reference sets no on-chain minimum, while in-game staking needs at least 100 PIXEL and a login within the past 30 days.
- There is no lock-up, but unstaking takes 3 days and restaking resets the timer.
- Core Pixels pays staking rewards daily, Pixel Dungeons weekly and Forgotten Runiverse monthly.
- For in-game staking, owning land adds a bonus: NUM_LANDS x min(10% of staked, 100,000).
Pixels fees and limits
- Withdrawing rewards as PIXEL incurs the Farmer Fee, which the whitepaper says starts at 20% to 50% and can be adjusted by governance; withdrawing as vPIXEL is fee-free.
The game is free to play. Daily tasks and withdrawals are gated behind VIP status, which you get with fiat or PIXEL. Voyage Contracts for Exploration Realms are bought with PIXEL.
Risks to know before using Pixels
- Pixels' own whitepaper lists economy problems it is still fixing: coin inflation, oversupply of resources and too few coin sinks, with fixes such as crafting durability still marked as in testing.
- Much of the staking rollout was published with target dates (Q3 and Q4 2025), so check which phase is live.
- On Ronin Bridge, PIXEL withdrawals are capped at 300,000,000 per day.
