Pixelverse is a cyberpunk-themed gaming ecosystem that integrates third-party developers, intellectual properties (IP), and its own projects. Pixelverse features a cyberpunk-themed game available on both Telegram and web browsers. ^[1][2]

Overview

Pixelverse made its first public appearance in February 2024 and has since achieved significant milestones. It boasts multiplatform accessibility, being available on both Telegram and web browsers, with a player base of 60 million and over 14 million social media followers. The ecosystem features diverse gaming experiences, including RPG elements and real-time PvP battles. On Telegram, PixelTap has attracted over 500,000 concurrent live players. Additionally, the Pixelverse Multiverse showcases projects like "Huxley" by Ben Mauro, an art director known for his work on Call of Duty, Halo, and Metal Gear. ^[2][3]

Funding

Pixelverse has received backing from VCs in crypto gaming for a $5.5 million fundraising sealed in June 2024. The $5.5 million round was co-led by Delphi Ventures, Merit Circle, Bitscale Capital, and Mechanism Capital, with additional backing from Ghaf Capital, Big Brain Holdings, LiquidX, and Foresight Ventures. Top angel investors, including Sébastien Borget of The Sandbox, Luca Netz the founder of Pudgy Penguins, Dingaling, Grail, and James Kwon, also participated. ^[4][10]

In June 2024, Pixelverse partnered with TON, Blum, and Karate Combat. ^[4][5]

PixelTap

Pixeltap is a player-versus-player (PvP) game that combines strategic gameplay with the innovative concept of "tap-to-earn." Unlike traditional tap-to-earn games that focus only on tapping, PixelTap challenges players to react quickly as they battle with their robot pets in real-time against 500,000 concurrent players. ^[4]

PixelTap offers several key features to enhance the gaming experience. The built-in tapping bot allows players to earn coins every 8 hours, with the option to claim coins anytime by clicking the "Claim" button. Players can also earn additional coins through referral rewards, gaining +2000 coins per friend invited and +10000 coins for Premium TG accounts. The PVP fighting system enables real-time battles, with opportunities to level up and boost characters using earned coins. Daily rewards and tasks, such as following Telegram channels, Discord, and X accounts, provide extra coins. Additionally, players can compete for top spots on the leaderboard based on the number of referrals. ^[9]

$PIXFI

Launched on July 18, 2024, $PIXFI is Pixelverse's token that launched on The Open Network (TON). ^[6][11]

Pixelverse’s token uses the ticker PIXFI and has a total supply of 5 billion. PIXFI can be used to trade, craft, and battle in Pixelverse. ^[7]

$PIXFI is the main token for transactions on Pixelchain, acting as the game's gas token, and it facilitates development and expansion within the game. ^[7]

To maintain the token's value, Pixelverse employs deflationary mechanisms where a portion of $PIXFI tokens used in transactions is burned. This process reduces the overall supply of $PIXFI, potentially increasing its scarcity and value over time. ^[9]

Airdrop

In a Telegram post on July 18, Pixelverse announced that starting July 25, 2024, PixelTap players will be able to claim an NFT, with the rarity level depending on their in-game progress. Players and users of the Pixelverse dashboard who hold a Rare, Epic, or Legendary NFT will qualify to claim PIXFI tokens through the airdrop. However, those with Common or Uncommon NFTs will not receive tokens. ^[12]

The Pixelverse team also noted that users opting to claim their PIXFI tokens immediately will only receive 10% of their allotted tokens, with the remaining 90% being redirected to the PIXFI Community Incentives Pool. This system is designed to encourage continued engagement with Pixelverse products. Players can unlock their full token allotment by continuing to play PixelTap or using the Pixelverse dashboard. ^[12]

Active PixelTap and Dashboard players will receive unique Pixelverse Avatar NFTs based on their engagement. These Avatars function as in-game character skins, offer bonus multipliers for stakers, and increase chances for rare lootbox items. The NFTs are exclusive to early adopters, with benefits varying by player level. ^[13]

$PIXFI Staking

Pixelverse introduced gas-less perpetual staking, allowing players to earn in-game asset rewards without additional costs. The $PIXFI token will be unlocked based on player activity through quest-based airdrops. Inactive players' shares will be redirected to the Community Incentives Pool, increasing rewards for active stakers. This feature will be utilized in the Pixelverse web browser game set to launch in August 2024. ^[13]
