Pixels is a farming and life simulation game that runs on Ronin, an Ethereum scaling network focused on gaming. The game previously operated on Polygon, another scaling network, but migrated to Ronin last fall.
Between the migration and play-to-airdrop plans, Pixels has spurred a sizable increase in daily active users on Ronin, the chain most associated with the monster-battling game Axie Infinity. According to data from Nansen, Ronin active users have spiked from about 20,000 in November to 665,000 as of Thursday.
Alongside the impending PIXEL launch, Pixels announced that it will sunset its existing BERRY in-game “soft currency” token in an effort to help sustain the game’s token economy. Pixels will offer a swap for the token, exchanging them at a rate of 1,000 BERRY for 7.6175 PIXEL.
