Two months after releasing its meta-changing chapter 2 update, social RPG Pixels has announced its PIXEL token will be listed on crypto exchange OKX.
In conjunction with the listing, the team has also launched a time-limited quest giving players a chance to get an OKX-themed hat and win one of five OKX-themed pixel pets.
More generally, Pixels has steadily picked up momentum in terms of daily active accounts following the 69% drop it experienced due to clearing out bot activity as part of its latest major update in June. Currently, it has 712,672 DAA, with total lifetime wallets on Ronin exceeding 6 million.
This accounts for 23% of the now almost 26 million total lifetime wallets on the Ronin network.
As of late, the game has also been successful in its aim to build self-sustaining ecosystem loops. Earlier in July it ran a profit-generating Guild Wars event. While 485,000 PIXEL were rewarded, 524,390 PIXEL were burned/locked, and 3.4 billion in-game tokens were burned.
Moreover, a recent community event reached 70,000 concurrent real in-game players.
In terms of future plans, the team is continuing to rework the game’s rewards structure, which remains focused on reducing bot activity. It will change taskboard tasks and introduce taskboard segmentation, which will tailor PIXEL rewards based on player behaviour as a measure to tackle bots. Additionally, it’s looking to introduce a wallet data reader that can analyze metrics like player history across multiple games and asset ownership to make it harder for bots to operate.
