PIXEL Token to Debut on Binance as Pixels Game Gains Momentum on Ronin
The highly anticipated PIXEL token for the popular blockchain farming game Pixels is set to launch on Monday via Binance. This milestone comes after a successful play-to-airdrop campaign, which has helped drive widespread adoption for both the game and its Ethereum sidechain, Ronin. For founder Luke Barwikowski, the launch of the PIXEL token marks the beginning of an exciting new phase for the game as it fully embraces its tokenized vision.
A Journey from Polygon to Ronin
The journey of Pixels started in 2021 on Polygon, another Ethereum scaling network that hosts numerous games. However, Barwikowski and his team made the strategic decision to migrate to Ronin last fall. It was not meant as a criticism of Polygon, but rather a desire to join a network that already had a substantial and dedicated gaming audience, thanks to the success of games like Axie Infinity in 2021.
The Value of Ronin's Existing Gaming Community
Barwikowski explained that the decision to migrate to Ronin was driven by the presence of an active userbase that was already onboarded into Web3 gaming. He noted that Ronin's community, known for its "Ronin effect" of playing and promoting new games, was better suited to support the growth of the Pixels game in its tokenized stage.
Leveraging the Knowledge of Sky Mavis
Barwikowski also highlighted the invaluable expertise of Sky Mavis, the creator of Ronin and Axie Infinity. As a veteran in the blockchain gaming space, Sky Mavis brings a wealth of experience that has helped guide the development of Pixels. Barwikowski expressed gratitude for the time-saving advice and direction provided by Sky Mavis, emphasizing the strength of their relationship.
With the PIXEL token debut on Binance and the strong support from Ronin's gaming community, Pixels is poised for continued success in the world of blockchain gaming.
