Stakers allocate their tokens into individual "game pools," effectively voting on which games deserve ecosystem incentives and resources. The amount staked into each game influences the share of emissions and incentives that game receives in the future, fostering competition among games. **Competitive Publishing Environment:** * Games compete to attract stakers by demonstrating strong player retention, high net in-game spending, and effective use of ecosystem tools * Staking allocations serve as a clear signal from the community on game quality and ecosystem contribution **Reward Calculation:** * Each game pool distributes rewards based on the proportion of total $PIXEL staked to it. * Games individually determine their reward contributions to their stakers, ideally aiming to be competitive to attract more stakers * Rewards are periodic, transparent, and governed by a clear mathematical model --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://litepaper.pixels.xyz/staking-ecosystem-and-token-mechanics/staking/decentralized-publishing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
