BullishVIP, Guilds, and Pets for The New @pixel Sinks Driving Deflation. GameFi 1.0 flopped because tokens only went out. Players earned, dumped, and left. No one had a reason to spend.
PIXEL COIN flipped that in 2026. Now the game is built around spending and every spend burns supply. VIP Battle Passes aren’t cosmetic. They’re access. Want to withdraw Coins to Ronin, unlock exclusive quests, or speed up build times? You pay in PIXEL. 80% goes to the DAO treasury, 20% hits the reward pool, and a slice gets burned permanently. Every VIP renewal is $PIXEL gone.
Guilds turned land into social status. Creating a guild costs PIXEL. Joining one costs PIXEL. Running guild quests, accessing guild-only zones, renting land for events all PIXEL sinks. Guilds don’t just spend tokens; they compete to spend more. Status is deflationary.
Pets are the sleeper sink. Minting a pet takes PIXEL. Leveling it burns PIXEL. Customizing it burns PIXEL. With Chapter 2 adding combat, pets aren’t vanity items they’re gameplay. And every upgrade deletes supply.
The result? RORS sits at 1-1.05. For every PIXEL issued as rewards, the ecosystem burns or consumes more than $1 of value.
That’s why unlocks ended in April 2026 and price didn’t collapse. VIP, guilds, and pets created demand that outruns emissions.
Old GameFi asked, How much can you earn?
#pixel PIXEL asks, What will you burn to win?
That’s deflation by design.
