Some people look at us and see that we’re building out a silly little farm game Pixels

Other people look and see that we’re building something way bigger - tech that will change the way games acquire users forever.

What do you see?

There is still a lot of work to go, but we've actually made some large breakthroughs in bot prevention/detection over the last couple of weeks using new fingerprinting tech built by Stytch.

Will report back more on some of our findings.

People have been telling us our game is going to die any minute for over 2 years now.

But Pixels keeps growing.

Something is also a bit off around the current meta of “Buy Coins -> Do $PIXEL tasks”

We’ll see how the game plays after Chapter 2, but generally we want to build out gameplay that is more fun & involved than that.

Taskboard changes coming in Chapter 2...

👉 Better tasks for higher levels
👉 New resources & resources will now have tiers
👉 The highest tier resources will be gated behind NFT Land & Guilds
👉 More $PIXEL rewards for turning in higher-tier resources

Content is a commodity. In the long run distribution is king.

With 868,712 DAA, Pixels is the most used blockchain game/dapp.

Here are some comparisons with other top blockchains to highlight the scale of Pixels:

• Pixels > Solana (780,8k)
• Pixels > Ethereum by 2.04x
• Pixels > Bitcoin by 2.08x
• Pixels > Base by 2.24x

New changes
coming this week (hopefully)…

👉 VIP tasks will give less $PIXEL per task
👉 BUT Frequency of tasks will increase (total amount of rewards stays the same)

This should also help create a more even reward distribution.

We have some other changes we’re working on too

How would you all feel if we tried shifting some of our reward distribution (maybe 20%) to weekly/monthly contests like we did in our play-to-airdrop.

Would give some people clear goals to work towards - though no guarantees of a win

😱🤬🤣 afjjhkfeujkca,MFER!!! LOL

The problem with renting Pixel lands, just like an Airbnb... you can't stop renters from ruining your property!!!

I raised the rent, he didn't like it, so he removed all my soils & industries! 🤣😭

Step 1: Vertical Scale
- Make Pixels as fun as possible
- Fine-tune our rewards engine & make it feel great
- Increase net ecosystem $PIXEL spend

Step 2: Horizontal Scale
- Apply our reward engine to more games
- Increase net ecosystem $PIXEL spend even more
- Increase rewards

Pixels DAU at 862 k

Keep pushing.

I'm watching how Luke and the team are tuning the task board in real time. Very promising stuff at the bleeding edge of coordinating behaviors v. incentives.

Ok, I think we're starting to grasp what's happening here.

We'll try to get some more changes out ASAP

After these changes to the taskboard I feel like I see…
