P.S. I kept trading and researching in 2020-2025, most of my income still comes from being active on-chain.
Today we're thrilled to unveil Fantasy Top V2! 🎉
This release comes alongside the announcement of our $4.25M seed fundraise, led by @dragonfly_xyz, with the follow-on support from @ManifoldTrading.
✨ Introducing Pixelverse Perpetual Staking
Following the successful launch of the PIXFI token and in anticipation of the Pixelverse web browser game release in August, we are pleased to announce the opening of the first phase of PIXFI staking, starting today at 3 PM UTC.
🎁 In Stage 1 of Pixelverse staking users will receive lootboxes which contain different types of valuable in-game assets:
Common Lootbox: Food and drinks, Resource Kit
Uncommon Lootbox: Clothes, Buddy Bot, Food and drinks, Resource Kit
Rare Lootbox: Rare Clothes, Rare Bot, Bot Upgrade Box
Epic Lootbox: Epic Clothes, Epic Bot, VIP-Mogul, VIP-Boost
Legendary Lootbox: Legendary Clothes, Exclusive masks, Real Estate Voucher.
💎 Items from Legendary lootboxes are exclusive to Staking. It means that this is the only place to get limited apartment and penthouse vouchers, which can earn you rental income in the future game.
👾 This is the first stage of our staking program, distributing high-value in-game assets.
⭐️ Pixelverse staking is perpetual, meaning you only need to stake once to receive rewards from the entire Pixelverse ecosystem in future staking stages.
🌌 Future stages will focus on rewarding stakers from the Pixelchain and the broader Pixelverse Multiverse.
🖼️ Reminder for all our early adopters: Anyone who received Rare, Epic, and Legendary NFTs in Pixeltap and Dashboard can transfer their $PIXFI tokens to Staking with zero gas fees and multiply their rewards.

For this 1st Catizen's Launchpool, participation requirements are set at Cat level of ≥110 or staking at least 1,000 Fish Coins. Based on our data tracking, these requirements cater to different player groups, covering the majority of Catizen players.
Additionally, during the launchpool warm-up to end period, we'll have a special event where you can get Double Fish Coins for inviting friends! This means you'll receive double Fish Coin rewards for every new player you invite during the launchpool period or for any previously invited players who upgrade!
Please note: Catizen's governance token airdrop will airdrop to game players and $wCATI point holders. This 1st Catizen Launchpool is just the beginning, with more $wCATI points and tokens from other high-quality projects in @ton_blockchain awaiting mining in the future!
Don't miss out on the opportunity to earn more fish coins and participate in the Launchpool by inviting friends and completing quest bot tasks!
