The game may be down, but we're not!
Pixels is undergoing temporary maintenance while our developers implement some MAJOR updates. Read through this FAQ for answers to all your questions!
We’ve officially announced that $PIXEL is set to launch on EXCHANGE.
In 2023, Pixels emerged as a leading web3 game with DAUs surpassing 180K, thanks to our vibrant community and switch to the Ronin blockchain. This growth set a solid foundation for 2024, as we enter a new growth phase with $PIXEL's listing on EXCHANGE, enhancing gameplay and our ecosystem. We're excited to build on this momentum and improve the web3 gaming space for our dedicated player base.
For any web3 game to achieve long-term success, sustainability must always be prioritized. We aim to combine good game design, lessons from the leading web2 games, and what’s working from the top web3 games into delivering what we believe to be a long-term and sustainable economy for our game.
We have evolved how we think about our tokens in-game and have made the strategic decision to focus on $PIXEL and to phase out $BERRY. All $BERRY holders will be rewarded with $PIXEL, with the reward proportionate to the amount of $BERRY owned.
Currently, $BERRY experiences a daily inflation rate of approximately 2%. Although Chapter 2 will address complications arising from this inflationary model, we have opted to implement early measures to sustain the economy. This move allows us to build a more sustainable ecosystem and positions us for a stronger future, without the challenges associated with managing a soft currency on-chain.
$BERRY, as a soft currency, poses challenges in managing within a live player base and economy. Most MMOs struggle with balancing an inflationary economy, and Web3 technology exacerbates the issue by enabling farmers to grind harder and sell their earnings more easily.
Chapter 2 plans to protect $PIXEL by requiring players to strategize and work together for token rewards, moving $BERRY to an off-chain coin to ensure fairness. We're also taking steps to reduce its market sell-pressure and address regulatory issues, focusing on a single currency to simplify the economic model and improve the game experience.
To be as fair as possible, we are committed to rewarding $BERRY holders with $PIXEL.
We will be exchanging $PIXEL for 1000 $BERRY for 7.6175 $PIXEL.
→ I have $BERRY in-game already: Great! You’ll receive $PIXEL automatically.
→ I have $BERRY outside the game: Open the Pixels Dashboard, and navigate to the exchange page. Here, you can exchange your $BERRY for $PIXEL.
The reward will be proportionate to the value of $BERRY owned. However, if you're part of that second group, you're going to want to act quickly. The sooner you convert $BERRY to $PIXEL, the better the conversion rate will be.
If you'd like to convert your $PIXEL to Coins, head over to the Bank!
Coins! We have officially released a brand-new in-game currency, called Coins. This currency is off-chain, however, it can be purchased using the $PIXEL token.
To do so, players will need to have a $PIXEL balance in-game. Users can head over to the bank or click on the Coins icon in the top left of the HUD. Here, you can easily transfer $PIXEL to Coins!
The Pixels game is going to start to shift towards what’s coming in Chapter 2! Here’s what you can expect:
→ A brand new Task Board will give users 9 new tasks to complete each day. Rewards will be in Coins, giving players opportunities to earn more of the new in-game currency.
→ Players will no longer be able to sell items to NPCs, including Hazel. This will help balance the in-game economy and ensure sustainable long-term gameplay.
→ Marketplace trading will remain available with a lowered Reputation Score requirement: 1200
→ Player-to-player trading Reputation Score requirement will remain the same
→ As a community, we will continue to have some exciting events, including our energy parties, live streams, and WEN $PIXEL campaign with daily tasks and BIG rewards.
LPs can deposit $BERRY into the game via the Dashboard. Here, they’ll be able to exchange their balance to $PIXEL just like other $BERRY holders.

Of course! There will be upgrades to specks, and access to the beginner tier resources for F2P players. F2P players can even join guilds and gain access to higher tier resources via their guild.
No you do not need land to play Chapter 2, but it might be a good idea to join a guild that has a couple lands.
Industries, items, soils, etc on a land belong to the person who places the item. The only items that cannot be removed by players are: Coop, Windmill, Silo, House, Bunker, Trees.
