$PIXELS - Top GameFi Crypto In This Bullrun
Hi!
I am now writing this article feeling like a party pooper that, finally, didn't give up.
Pixels game today.
I have to say I am not a blockchain expert, just a traveler that likes to test the waters and engage here and there with SocialFi's, games, collaborations sometimes.
This article is a response and a participation to @leofinance post for us to write article about the crypto project I think has the biggest upside for the next bull run. It can be found here: https://inleo.io/@leofinance/1000-hbd-giveaway-tell-us-your-top-crypto-in-this-bull-run-
So, I decided to talk about Pixels game from Terra Villa as a niche project for metaverse gaming.
I know Splinterlands might be the first to top the scores and leaderboards in GameFi over the next bullrun, but I also think Pixels has the biggest upside because a few months ago I wouldn't have credited it for what it came to be.
The Place to Be maybe...
Set in the expansive landscape of Terra Villa, the Pixels farming game consists of the following key systems that work together: 1. Play-to-Earn (P2E): Pixels is currently boosting Web 3.0 incentive design. Yeah...it's a total abundence of free coins you can discover daily and lots of rewards.
Farmland NFT: Player-owned homes and farms in the Pixel Metaverse. I got my land for free last year. It's small but it can do its job easily. On other lands, farming might take some gas, under the form of vegetables or fruits that got stuck on their crops or die there. So the ecosystem lets you grow digital crops and trade them within the system, if you don't have a VIP membership or over 500 reputation points achieved. Or, if you got those, you can trade them and sell them with other players or in general shops.
Landowners have unique advantages associated with land ownership relationships that are not found in other land interactions.Customization: Pixel Farm Land NFT owners can customize their farm based on their progress in the game, on the things they find effective, such as land plots, pets, trees, things for producing eggs, honey, iron, crafting and so on. It's an entire accessibility design for a circular economy!
Web 3 Reputation: 2024 has brought for Pixels s new system that combines on-chain and in-game data and this was implemented for them and for us, but mainly to better understand users within Pixel.
I'd say Let's go further and look into the complex layers of their Tokenomics, the enormous potential it holds, and the strong community driving it forward.
Onboarding and Accessibility
Pixel, unlike many blockchain games, offers players a refreshingly accessible entry point.
You don't need a cryptocurrency wallet to get started.
A simple registration by email or phone number opens the door to this pixelated world.
This is a strategic move that recognizes the mainstream appeal of farming games and follows the success of titles such as FarmVille and Stardew Valley.
Ronin Migration (read about my latest experience in this article)
A strategic shift was done last year. In a decisive move on October 31, 2023, Pixels migrated to the Ronin network.
This was a decision based on strategic foresight.
Ronin provided fertile ground for Pixel to grow with its burgeoning ecosystem and influx of new Web3 gaming users.
Unlike Ethereum, where only a fraction of addresses are active in games, Ronin has a vibrant native user base looking for new experiences.
Leadership
I'd say we can meet here two pillars of Trust. The foundation of my belief in Pixel comes from its leadership duo, Luke and Heidi.
She gives a social boost and energy each week. Her effective commitment to community engagement is expressed through her weekly AMAs and transparent communication, fostering trust and unity.
Their honesty, combined with a clear vision for the further development of the game, inspires confidence even when making difficult decisions.
Vision for the Future Luke's vision for Pixel goes beyond just gameplay.
It aims to become a platform, similar to giants like Amazon and YouTube.
By incorporating public and user-generated content, Pixels lays the foundation for a dynamic and constantly evolving ecosystem.
The game is full of people now, their discord channel is super-ultra-active... to the power of community-driven innovation and the potential for limitless growth.
Marketing
Driving Organic Growth Heidi's approach to community building abandons traditional marketing strategies in favor of collaborative partnerships and community events, resulting in impressive organic growth.
Their recent airdrop event, which awarded PIXEL tokens to active community members, is an example of how they reward and incentivize engagement, advocacy, retention.
Interoperability
Bridging the Gap in the Metaverse Pixel's large-scale integration into his NFT project and emphasis on interoperability blurs the boundaries between virtual worlds and fosters collaboration and awareness among communities.
It's about the essence of the dynamics and mechanics.
More than just aesthetics, NFT avatars embody true digital ownership and enrich the Pixel experience.
Product Excellence and User Engagement: Pixels inherently excels at delivering immersive gaming experiences that appeal to a variety of player personalities.
A sandbox crafting system reminiscent of Minecraft provides depth without sacrificing accessibility.
Regular content updates and extensibility highlight the team's commitment to providing continued value to players.
The $PIXEL Token
Increased Value and Stability
The launch of the $PIXEL token marks an important milestone for Pixel, ushering in a new era of economic incentives and player rewards.
With a limited maximum supply and a robust quest system that limits token distribution, $PIXEL embodies both stability and practicality.
The successful listing on Binance and the overwhelming response to the launch pool highlight the potential for widespread adoption.
Explosive Growth and Industry
Recognition Pixels' unprecedented growth trajectory has positioned the company as a pioneer in the blockchain gaming space.
With Chapter 2 just around the corner and new content on the horizon, the game continues to captivate gamers and industry insiders alike.
Here is my step-by-step guide of withdrawing my $Pixels tokens, after a little struggle I've been having these days.
Step 1: Diving into Pixels
Last year, I've released some free time and energy into the world of Pixels, a captivating game from Terra Villa that Chrys, my girlfriend would argue about each day. With a commitment of about 2 hours per day for two months, I went (maybe a bit too) deep into this virtual game, exploring its features, quests and building my digital assets. (It's a pity I only got to withdraw 10% of the $Pixels tokens I made back then)
Step 2: Return from Hiatus
After a hiatus of six months, I decided to reignite my passion for Pixels. Upon returning, I noticed that while I hadn't completely swapped my $berries to $pixels, my wallet still boasted over 270 Pixels, which is about 170 USD today.
Step 3: Initiating Withdrawal
Eager to make use of my accumulated Pixels, I initiated a withdrawal process to my Ronin wallet. However, patience became too much these days, as it took approximately 80 hours for the withdrawal to be completed. Yesterday I wrote them on their discord channel that I am still waiting for the transaction. Nobody answered but the liquidity came this morning.
What a joy!
Step 4: Transfer to Binance
With my Pixels safely in my Ronin wallet, I wanted to transfer them to my Binance wallet. However, a roadblock emerged - I lacked the minimum 0.002 gas money in Ronin tokens required for the transaction.
Step 5: Gas Acquisition Attempt
A bit annoyed, I sought to acquire the necessary gas through the faucet provided on the Ronin website. Despite my efforts, the faucet failed to dispense the required tokens. I tried the old way - going for their faucet here https://www.theronin.tech/faucet which didn't work.
Step 6: Seeking Community Support
Turning to the Ronin Network channel on Discord, specifically the degen-trading section, I sought assistance from the knowledgeable community. Checking for available gas and requesting the needed amount, I found the support I needed to proceed.
Step 7: Securing Gas and Completing Transfer
Armed with the acquired gas tokens, I returned to my Ronin wallet, ready to complete the transfer to Binance. With sufficient gas at my disposal, I successfully executed the transaction, moving my Pixels to their new destination.
Step 8: Preparing for Future Transactions
Proactively planning for future transactions, I decided to bolster my gas reserves. Selling a portion of my VeChain tokens, I acquired USDT and used it to purchase 3 Ron tokens. Sending them to my Ronin wallet, I ensured I had ample gas for future endeavors.
Here's a bit of gas money after I managed to sent my Pixels.
Step 9: Reflecting on the Journey
With my digital assets securely managed and future transactions accounted for, I took a moment to breathe and think. From my initial engagement last year to overcoming challenges with the help of the community today, my experience with the Pixels game had been both rewarding and educational. So, I have continued doing some tasks today as I want to reach 500 reputation score, in order not to buy the VIP, an to be able to trade and sell directly. I am at +400 now and have no idea how much longer it will take, but I guess maybe 1 week or so.
I think that managing digital assets within the Pixels game ecosystem involves strategic planning, patience, and leveraging community support when needed. It's always a hard thing for me to ask for help or feedback but, in some cases, I have to do it. And the Pixels community on discord is very supporting and fast. This is how I can be effective and efficient in my asset management and optimize my gaming experience also - asking for guidance from their discord community and watching some YouTube videos for the quests so I can accomplish them easier.
Thank you for reading!
With respect,
Zpek
