The team behind social farming MMO Pixels is back with a new ecosystem update for the month of June, a month marked by the announcement of a game partnership, the successful reach of a 100 million $PIXEL staking milestone, and more positive news across its flagship web3 game and partnered projects.

Sleepagotchi Joins Pixels Ecosystem

The new game joining the Pixels ecosystem is Sleepagotchi LITE, a browser-based and Telegram idle card game. This means that $PIXEL payments are now live in the web version of this blockchain game, allowing players to directly pay in the in-game shop using $PIXEL tokens. Not only is this convenient if you’re already a $PIXEL holder, but buying with this ecosystem token should also give you exclusive discounts, which are set to be added by the end of this week. 

With this ecosystem expansion, this also means that Sleepagotchi is now part of the $PIXEL staking system. It took only one week for 8 million $PIXEL tokens to enter Sleepagotchi staking. Next to earning more tokens through staking, the game’s first play to earn leaderboard event is now also live from June 17 to June 24, 23:59 UTC. Titled GO GREEN, this event features a huge reward pool of 500k $PIXEL tokens that have been allocated to the top 1000 players who manage to collect the highest number of Green Orbs throughout the limited time period. This reward-packed leaderboard event is said to be only the beginning, as there are plans to introduce more ways to earn and spend $PIXEL tokens in Sleepagotchi over time, with “a major product update” said to be coming soon.

As for the Ronin-powered ecosystem, the expansion won’t stop with this game, as the latest update post has teased that more partnerships are “on the horizon.”

New Pixels Ecosystem Updates for June 2025

Next to the new game, there are a variety of other notable new ecosystem updates for this month as well. Chief among them is the new staking milestone, which saw staking successfully soar past 100 million $PIXEL tokens across the entire ecosystem. $PIXEL staking was officially launched this year on May 1st, meaning it only took a bit over a month for so many tokens to be staked. With this number of tokens staked, this means that more than 5 million tokens in staking rewards are being handed out to loyal stakers.

Forgotten Runiverse, the first third-party title to enter the ecosystem, has been testing out a new claim system through a 100k $PIXEL raffle that is live until June 18. Players have been able to enter the raffle by spending Quanta in-game, giving them a chance to win one of 3 grand prizes or to become one of the 20 additional winners that get 1000 $PIXEL each. Through this testing, the developers are getting the data that they need to properly develop a new major update, for which info on is planned to be revealed soon. Alongside the raffle, the game has to date distributed 2.5 million $PIXEL tokens directly to player wallets, meaning there was no need to undergo any claiming process to get the rewards.

In preparation for the P2P Marketplace, the Forgotten Runiverse team has lowered the prices of Mana Packs, which now cost this much:

  • Small Mana Pack (1,000): 2 USD
  • Medium Mana Pack (11,000): 20 USD
  • Large Mana Pack (63,000): 100 USD
  • Huge Mana Pack (375,000): 500 USD

Moving on, Pixel Dungeons has had its daily missions reworked, leading to daily revenue being doubled. The devs expect stronger retention throughout the next 30 days thanks to positive metrics such as having the highest revenue day in the last 30 days and the highest number of membership purchases since the membership feature launched. There are thousands of dungeons now full of players, and the Return on Rewards Spend (RORS) is at the highest it’s ever been in the past 3 months.

What changes caused all these new highs for Pixel Dungeons? Well, a number of gameplay and economy improvements. These enhancements include having better rewards in free dungeons, shortening schedules of high-stakes dungeons, removing leaderboards, and reworking daily missions to make them so that they have no expiration times anymore. This means that in order to have new missions appear, you need to complete one to get a new one, and if you don’t like the available tasks, you have the option to reroll a mission using pickaxes.

As for the flagship Pixels game, 3.82 million $PIXEL tokens are being staked per day, with the team reporting that net deposits have surpassed withdrawals for the first time ever, showing perhaps a positive sign of a sustainable ecosystem. This means that more tokens are entering the game’s economy instead of leaving it, as players are choosing to hold and spend tokens rather than opt to cash them out. The shift is said to be partly thanks to reputation-based farming fees alongside increased in-game token utility and “long-term holder trust.”
