Pixels Farming and Social Game Set to Launch New Competitive Season, Spore Sports, With US$4M in Rewards

Scheduled to run from December 10, 2024 to March 4, 2025, the event will offer US$4M (AU$6.2M) in PIXEL tokens as rewards

Farming and social game Pixels, built on the Ethereum-powered Ronin network, is gearing up for a new competitive season called Spore Sports.

Set to run from Dec. 10, 2024, through March 4, 2025, the event will see US$4 million (AU$6.2 million) in PIXEL tokens up for grabs as players engage in a guild-based competition centered around mushroom cultivation and strategy.

“This upcoming competitive season in Pixels will see players engage in thrilling guild-based competitions centered around mushroom cultivation and strategy,” said Pixels Founder and CEO Luke Barwikowski in a statement to Decrypt.

During the three-month event, players will collaborate and compete in activities such as growing and harvesting mushrooms, sabotaging opponents’ crops, and climbing the leaderboards. Rewards are based on both individual and team performance, with participants earning PIXEL tokens, Guild Runes, and exclusive in-game items.

The event will also introduce tier-4 Ultimate Items, which are described by the developers as powerful game-altering artifacts. These items can be unlocked through specific activities in the Cave Hub Map, adding a strategic layer to gameplay.

How Pixels Functions

In Pixels, there is a dual-currency system, in which coins serve as the primary in-game currency for general purchases and upgrades earned through gameplay. The native $PIXEL token, with a total supply of 5 billion, provides access to premium features, such as energy boosts, faster build times, and new character skins.

As the player, you can personalise your gaming experience by using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) from prominent digital collections as in-game avatars.

You can also own land in the form of NFTs as well, which as you may have guessed, brings you several benefits, including earning rewards from the activity on your land and allowing full management of plots. But owning land is optional and not a requirement to play as such.

PIXEL is currently trading at US$0.28 (AU$0.44), up 7.9% over the past 24 hours and 88.1% over the last 30 days.

Pixels has established a user base of over 8 million, with over 180,000 daily active players. The developers aim to expand the game further by introducing new features, including pets, combat systems, and enhanced farming capabilities in the near future.
