In the vibrant world of Web3, the Tezos blockchain stands out as a shining beacon of innovation and sustainability.
With its eco-friendly Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm, Tezos is a breath of fresh air in an industry often criticized for its environmental impact.
But the Tezos blockchain isn’t just about being green, it’s also about making your Web3 journey as smooth as a hot knife through butter. Negligible gas fees and seamless transactions/interactions make it a joy to use for developers and users alike.
When it comes to advanced DeFi capabilities, Tezos has been setting new rules for the game with features like Liquid Proof-of-Stake and delegated staking.
Let’s also not forget about the spirit of collaboration at the heart of the ecosystem. Thanks to its unique governance model, it’s a blockchain where everyone can contribute to.
It’s not just about what you can do, it’s about what we can do together. Collaboration, innovation, and sustainability - the very essence of the Tezos ecosystem’s philosophy is fully embodied by Pixl.
Just like the self-amending Tezos blockchain, PiXL is a Web3 Role Playing Game that is designed to evolve and constantly change.
At the core of PiXL are five elements - the building blocks that make PiXL a standout player in the Tezos ecosystem.
PiXL is a joyride into the world of retro RPGs, packed with nostalgia and endless fun. Drawing stylistic influences from early Pokemon and Final Fantasy games, PiXL delivers a high dose of nostalgia, transporting players back to the golden era of gaming.
A fresh twist on the retro gaming experience is added by incorporating continuous updates in the randomized loot drops and quests. Every quest is a new adventure, and every loot drop is a surprise, making each playthrough a unique experience. New life is breathed into the limited replayability often associated with retro RPGs.
In PiXL, the fun never stops, and the game never gets old. It’s both a celebration of nostalgia and a testament to the endless possibilities of blockchain technology.
Through Quests, PiXL offers journeys for players to embark on, each one a unique adventure. They’re engaging and challenging, keeping players hooked and coming back for more.
But there’s more to these quests than just gameplay. They’re a statement, a stand against the environmental impact of Proof-of-Work NFTs. The enemies in the game are dirty NFTs, a creative way of highlighting the environmental issues associated with traditional NFTs. This game isn’t just fun to play, it also carries a powerful message.
The concept of Self-Sovereign Identity is also emphasized - players can share these limited and rare quests with other players, by visiting the Self-Sovereign Identity Wizard. It’s a testament to the collaborative spirit of the Tezos ecosystem, where sharing and collaboration go hand in hand.
In the realm of PiXL, items hold a special place. They are NFTs that players can earn, trade, or sell, adding an exciting dimension to the gameplay. These items can be won by completing quests or purchased from the in-game shop, the baker, using PiXLtez. When an item is acquired, it appears in the player’s wallet, ready to be used or traded.
Quest-related items are particularly rare, tied to the character featured in the quest, adding a layer of exclusivity. Other items, while less rare, still require PiXLtez for purchase, promoting active gameplay and learning about blockchain.
Each item enhances the player’s abilities in unique ways, making them valuable assets in the game.
PiXLtez is the lifeblood of PiXL. This in-game token mirrors the Tezos ecosystem, serving as a practical introduction to the world of DeFi for players.
PiXLtez allows players to sign transactions, establish nodes, and earn block rewards. Players who accumulate 8,000 PiXLtez can even run their own nodes, adding a strategic element to the game.
Players can choose to stake their PiXLtez, use it in-game, or mint it to their Tezos wallet, offering a variety of options to engage with the token.
The Entry Coin NFT is the golden ticket to PiXL, and for those new to Tezos, it serves as an entry point to the broader Tezos ecosystem.
Possessing the Entry Coin NFT in their wallet and syncing it allows players to dive into the game without any friction.
The game verifies the presence of an Entry Coin in the player’s wallet through a read-only request, eliminating the need for gas fees. The only prerequisite for players is to set up a Tezos-compatible wallet. There’s no need for any tez, making the onboarding process as smooth as possible.
PiXL stands out in its commitment to fostering the continuation of the vibrance and collaboration in the Tezos art scene. They’re embarking on collaborations with various artists within the Tezos community, infusing the game with a diverse range of artistic styles and perspectives.
It makes a lot of sense - art is important for the success of a game, why not leverage the wealth of artistic talent within the Tezos ecosystem?
As mentioned earlier, we can look forward to their first collaboration with the talented Sutu, an XR artist who has created art for IPs like Doctor Strange, Ready Player One, and artists like The Weeknd and John Legend.
