Key Changes

There will be 2 key differences with $PIXEL moving forward...

Ecosystem Reward Distribution

Ecosystem Rewards will no longer be reserved for just Core Pixels - as the ecosystem brings in more games & Phase 2 of the staking rollout releases...

Phase	Mechanics	Emission Policy	Target Date
1 (Beta) · Curated Pools	Initial selected games: Core Pixels (20m PIXEL/mo), Pixel Dungeons (2m PIXEL/mo), Forgotten Runiverse (5m PIXEL/mo).	Fixed monthly distribution per game	Live
2 · Dynamic Pools	Pool weights set by total staked amount.	Global cap of 28m PIXEL/month, dynamically split	Q3 2025
3 · Open Pools	Any game surpassing RORS threshold (≥1) becomes eligible.	Competitive emission allocation via staking competition	Q4 2025
4 · Multi-Currency	Integration of USDC/fiat UA; ecosystem incentives remain in $PIXEL.	Revenue share feeds back into reward pools

This will change how the ecosystem rewards are distributed amongst games! When Phase 2 rolls out, Dynamic Pools - the 28m $PIXEL budget of Ecosystem Rewards per month will be split amongst games based among how much $PIXEL is staked to each game. The users will get a large say on where ecosystem rewards will go in the long-run.

Token Splits

Previously, $PIXEL spent in-game was sent to a community-owned treasury. This treasury is to be owned by a DAO. Historically whenever $PIXEL was spent in-game...

• 80% of spent $PIXEL will be sent to the Community Treasury

• 20% of spent $PIXEL will be sent back to Ecosystem Rewards

Now a portion of the 80% sent to the Community will be sent to stakers, and the remaining will still be sent to the community treasury for governance.
