**Pixel token** most commonly refers to **$PIXEL**, the native utility and governance token of **Pixels** (pixels.xyz), a popular Web3 social farming and exploration game built on the **Ronin Network**.
### What is Pixels Game?
Pixels is a free-to-play, open-world casual game with retro-style pixel art graphics. Players farm crops, raise animals, trade goods, complete quests, own virtual farmland plots, collect pet NFTs, build on their land, and engage in social features like guilds. It blends relaxing gameplay with blockchain elements for true ownership.
- There's a **free-to-play** mode using off-chain "Coins" for basic activities.
- **PIXEL** acts as the **premium on-chain currency** for advanced features.
$PIXEL serves multiple roles in the ecosystem:
- **In-game premium currency**: Mint pets/NFTs, create or join guilds, buy VIP memberships/battle passes, access exclusive perks (e.g., easier withdrawals or boosts).
- **Governance**: Holders can influence the future of the game and ecosystem.
- **Staking**: Earn rewards, boosts, and help shape the Pixels universe (check staking.pixels.xyz).
- **Economy bridging**: Used to purchase Coins or participate in high-value actions; the team has been transitioning toward making $PIXEL more of a "stake-only" focus while shifting some rewards to stablecoins like USDC for better balance.
The game originally used BERRY as another token but has phased it out in favor of focusing on PIXEL.
