Ronin. Is. Home.
Migration to Ethereum complete ⚔
Five years ago, Ronin was a new Ethereum sidechain with a single game aboard: Axie Infinity.
Over the years, Ronin emerged as THE gaming chain, onboarding millions of players through more games like Pixels, Cambria, Angry Dynomites, and many others.
Today, we plugged our engine into the mothership: Ethereum.
Here’s what that means 🧵👇
RON Buybacks: Unleashing the Ronin Treasury
Ronin’s sleeping giant is waking up.
Over the past four years, the Ronin Treasury has accumulated a massive trove of tokens.
This silent stockpile has been growing in the shadows for too long.
We’re ready to unleash the beast.
On September 29th, the Ronin Treasury will begin buying RON from the open market.
This will benefit all RON holders from everyday Web3 gamers and NFT collectors to RON holders with conviction in our movement.
Here’s what’s happening 🧵👇
Ronin is coming home to Ethereum.
Ready Layer Two ⚔️
Four years ago, we built Ronin because Axie Infinity needed a faster, more efficient network. Ethereum was still early in its scaling roadmap. Necessity was the mother of our invention.
However, things are different now. Ethereum is BACK. Transaction costs and speeds are better than ever. We’re early to a new era of growth, and Ronin is ready to rise.
Gaming will always be in our DNA, but we’re setting our sights on fulfilling a larger prophecy: becoming the gamification engine of Ethereum.
Ronin will become a full-fledged, Ethereum-aligned L2 by next year, and this is how it’s going to happen 👇
1/ The Golden Age of Ronin Starts NOW!
We have just submitted a transaction to break down the allowlist for deploying contracts on Ronin.
From this moment forward, Ronin is open.
Here’s what this grand opening means for our movement 🧵👇
@PrimordialAA Hello Bryan, please consider users with 1+ tx since snapshot for the late multiplier. In the last month I only needed to bridge funds one time. Not every real user is a frequent bridger.
@whatslukedoing Definitely not less, about same as VIP.
Feels like there's too much difference between VIP users, one gets a lot in a day the other close to none.
Shouldn't overincrease either, just try distribute it more evenly between the same categories.
@whatslukedoing@pixels_online Good direction @whatslukedoing!
Quick feedback about the current problems:
1. Servers are too slow and laggy, there was about 1 week when they ran very smooth now they are bad again.
2. Marketplace: failing to buy items 10 times made me quit the game many times, frustrating!
Our token, $PIXEL, is officially live on @Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange 🔥
We’ve been working towards this moment for over 2 years, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this massive milestone with you all.
This is just the beginning and the best is yet to come for the Pixels community.
New here? Welcome to Pixels:
Pixels is a free-to-play farming MMO with a play-to-earn (P2E) model. Gameplay revolves around resource management, strategic exploration and community building. Over the past year, we’ve grown to one of Web3’s largest games, with daily active players of 180k+.
At Pixels, we build with our community. We're far from a traditional game studio, and our development process reflects that. Over the past 2 years, we’ve had 60+ public updates. This approach enables us to iterate and experiment more quickly, giving players a true sense of ownership over the game's direction. When you join our community, you are not just a player of Pixels, but a creator of it.
Our Mission:
We’re excited by the potential of Web3 technology and its ability to significantly enhance the gaming experience. We aim to experiment, build, and iterate on the features that make Web3 gaming unique. We’re here to set a new standard.
Here are some of the interesting areas we've leaned into:
➡️ P2E: earn $PIXEL by participating in gameplay
➡️ Guilds: friendtech + competition
➡️ On-chain Reputation & Player Personas: creating a sustainable ecosystem of real players
➡️ Interoperability: using on-chain data to bring communities together
We're eager to explore more possibilities in this space and push Web3 even further.
Meet $PIXEL ✨
$PIXEL is an in-game utility token. It allows players to enhance their gameplay experience in various ways:
➡️ Purchase VIP memberships
➡️ Create and join guilds
➡️ Mint a Pixels Pet
➡️ Upgrade lands
We believe Web3 games don’t need to look exactly like Web2 games. However, P2E formats need sustainable structures and economics. With that, we’ve focused heavily on persona types: why would each user want to use this token? We want to ensure we’ve created an environment where first:
➡️ Our game is providing real enjoyment and
entertainment to our users
➡️ Our currency can help amplify that experience without affecting the experience of other users
How do I get $PIXEL?
Users can earn $PIXEL in-game right now. Head over to Buck’s Galore and chat with Hazel. She will provide you with your daily list of tasks. Within these tasks, you may be lucky enough to be given one that rewards in $PIXEL.
Final Thoughts:
In 2024, Pixels is stepping into its next chapter of growth fueled by the listing of $PIXEL on Binance. To the Pixels community, today is a historic moment for all of us. We can’t wait to welcome even more members to our community in the days, weeks, and years to come.
$PIXEL is launching on @binance Launchpool! 🎉
2023 was a landmark year for Pixels as we became one of the largest web3 games by DAU, which surpassed 180K. Our explosive growth can be attributed to two core factors: our community and our migration to Ronin, Sky Mavis’ proprietary blockchain. Behind every successful web3 game is a thriving, engaged, and passionate community. We started with a core, devoted community that has only expanded as Pixels was introduced to the players in the Ronin ecosystem.
In 2024, Pixels is stepping into its next chapter of growth fueled by the listing of $PIXEL on Binance. $PIXEL is set to enable strong gameplay while supporting a robust ecosystem. We are building upon a strong foundation created alongside our community and we are excited to continue to make web3 a better place for all gamers.
Evolution of Tokenomics:
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.
Why This Approach?
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.
Addressing numerous issues, Chapter 2 aims to safeguard $PIXEL from similar abuses. Players must strategize, collaborate, and complete tasks at random intervals to earn tokens. To maintain a fair playing field, $BERRY will be replaced with an off-chain coin, effective immediately.
We intend to reduce sell-pressure by implementing measures that limit its ease of sale on the market or decentralized exchange (DEX) for the off-chain coin. This strategy also addresses regulatory concerns related to money-transmitting licenses, ensuring continued user participation in core gameplay loops, especially in regions like the US and UK. And, by concentrating on a single currency, we aim to streamline the project's economic model, enhancing overall efficiency and player experience.
Next Steps for $BERRY Holders:
To be as fair to the community as possible, we are committed to rewarding $BERRY holders with $PIXEL, with the reward proportionate to the amount of $BERRY owned. This will be done in-game but will reflect both on-chain and off-chain balances of $BERRY.
$BERRY will be substituted in game with a new off-chain currency: coins. Players will subsequently have the chance to exchange $PIXEL for coins, gaining a gameplay advantage.
→ 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.
We will be exchanging $PIXEL for 1000 $BERRY for 7.6175 $PIXEL.
Final Thoughts:
With the listing on Binance and the sunset of $BERRY to create a sustainable ecosystem, we are confident that Pixels' best days are ahead. At Pixels, our ethos has always been and will always be to build with, and for, the community. We’ve been building in public for two years and that won’t change. This approach and our continued focus on transparency at all costs is a large part of why we’re here now. Community is our strength and one of the most fun parts of being involved in Pixels. As we enter this new era, our community can look forward to better gaming experiences and a more resilient digital currency infrastructure.
