A total of 350 million PIXEL tokens will be up for grabs during the Launchpool campaign, constituting 7% of the overall token supply.

The allocation of PIXEL tokens through airdrops to players who excelled in the game’s play-to-airdrop campaigns remains uncertain. Approximately 28,000 wallets qualify for the PIXEL airdrop based on in-game incentive program outcomes. Despite inquiries from Decrypt’s GG to a Ronin representative for clarity on airdrop timing, a response has yet to materialize.

Pixels is a farming and life simulation game operating on Ronin, an Ethereum scaling network tailored for gaming. Having previously operated on Polygon, another scaling network, Pixels made the transition to Ronin last autumn. The migration, coupled with play-to-airdrop initiatives, has catalyzed a significant surge in daily active users on Ronin, the blockchain predominantly associated with the popular game Axie Infinity. Nansen's data indicates a spike in Ronin active users from approximately 20,000 in November to 665,000 as of Thursday.

In tandem with the impending PIXEL launch, Pixels revealed plans to retire its existing in-game token, BERRY. This move aims to bolster the game’s token economy. Pixels will facilitate a swap for the token, offering an exchange rate of 1,000 BERRY for 7.6175 PIXEL tokens.

Pixels is poised for the launch of its PIXEL token through a Binance Launchpool promotion, offering users enticing staking rewards. Despite the anticipation, uncertainties linger regarding the distribution of PIXEL tokens through airdrops. The game's migration to the Ronin network has spurred a remarkable increase in active users.
