Penguin Power! Pudgy Penguins Crash Pixelverse's PixelTap Party

Get ready for a penguin invasion of epic proportions!

The adorable Pudgy Penguins NFT collection is making a splash in Pixelverse's hit Telegram game, PixelTap.

This collaboration unites two titans of the Web3 world, bringing the adorable Pudgy Penguins alongside other crypto favourites like Doge from Dogecoin, Solana's Mew, and Avalanche's Coq Inu.

PixelTap players can now experience the thrill of playing as Pudgy, the mascot of the Pudgy Penguins collection, adding a whole new dimension to the tap-to-earn gameplay.

PixelTap Tapping into Success

PixelTap is more than just a game; it's a gateway to the exciting world of cryptocurrency.

Launched just recently, PixelTap has already achieved phenomenal success, boasting over 50 million registered users within its first month!

With over 10 million daily active players, PixelTap is a testament to the growing popularity of interactive crypto experiences.

So, what exactly is PixelTap?

Imagine a game that allows you to earn real-world rewards through simple gameplay. PixelTap utilises a tap-to-earn mechanic, where players collect in-game items and resources by tapping.

These resources can then be used to purchase NFT characters, power-ups, and other valuable assets within the Pixelverse ecosystem.

Pudgy Penguins Waddling their Way into Web3 Domination

Pudgy Penguins is no stranger to success.

These adorable penguin avatars have captured the hearts of collectors worldwide, amassing a staggering total sales volume of almost $400 million according to CryptoSlam.

But Pudgy Penguins isn't just confined to the digital realm.

The collection has seen immense crossover success, with its penguin plushie line landing in major retailers like Walmart and Target, reportedly selling over a million units.

This expansion beyond the digital sphere demonstrates Pudgy Penguins' commitment to brand recognition and accessibility.

The collection also boasts a strong social media presence, attracting millions of followers through viral content.

Furthermore, Pudgy Penguins is actively developing multiple Web3 games, solidifying their position as a major player in the crypto-gaming landscape.

Why Pixelverse and Pudgy Penguins Joined Forces

This collaboration between Pixelverse and Pudgy Penguins is a strategic move for both parties, as both are all about building a stronger Web3 community.

They are passionate about making crypto accessible and engaging.

Kori Leon, co-founder of Pixelverse, highlighted this shared vision:

“And don’t think Pudgy Penguins is only an NFT collection; anyone who bought a toy at Walmart is part of the Pudgy community. Pudgy Penguins use cute characters and social media to make crypto less intimidating, while we use video games to do the same. By combining gaming and cuteness, I believe we can onboard even more users to Web3.”

Additionally, Pixelverse gains access to the immense popularity of the Pudgy Penguins brand, attracting new players to the PixelTap game.

For Pudgy Penguins, PixelTap offers a platform to introduce their characters to a wider audience and engage with the ever-growing tap-to-earn community.

Leon explained the importance of building strong communities, stating,

"Over the years, we've witnessed the rise of numerous infrastructure projects that started with grand promises but failed to attract users beyond the Web3 community. For the ecosystem to thrive, it is crucial for projects to focus on what makes them successful: community, culture and distribution."

This collaboration embodies this philosophy, fostering a connection between two passionate communities.

Pixelverse Announces the Launch of Pixelchain

Pixelverse isn't stopping at integrating NFTs into its game.

The ambitious team is making a power play in the blockchain space with the launch of Pixelchain.

Scheduled to launch testnet next week, Pixelchain is the first fully EVM-compatible Layer 2 solution built for the TON blockchain.

This innovative technology is designed to seamlessly integrate with the TON ecosystem, fostering a user-friendly experience for both existing Web3 users and newcomers.

But what is EVM compatibility?

Imagine a universal translator for blockchains. EVM compatibility allows Pixelchain to seamlessly run smart contracts designed for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the dominant standard in the blockchain world.

This opens doors for a wider range of decentralised applications (dApps) to be built on Pixelchain, fostering a more vibrant and diverse ecosystem within the TON network.

Pixelverse Partners with Notcoin

Pixelverse's commitment to collaboration extends beyond the Pudgy Penguins partnership.

The team has joined forces with Notcoin, another prominent player in the TON blockchain gaming space.

Notcoin, like Pixelverse, began its journey as a popular tap-to-earn game.

This partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both projects, creating a synergistic relationship that benefits both communities.

As part of this exciting collaboration, Pixelverse will be launching a dedicated marketing campaign designed to supercharge Notcoin.

This campaign will feature enticing features like $NOT staking opportunities and a Notcoin quest with a whopping $250,000 prize pool.

But the partnership doesn't stop there.

Pixelverse has hinted at further integrations with $NOT, leaving gamers eager to see what exciting developments are on the horizon.

Power Up With PIXFI to Fuel Pixelverse's Future

Central to Pixelverse's economic engine is the PIXFI token, scheduled to take flight on major centralised exchanges – Bybit, HTX, Gate, Bitget and MEXCtoday, 18 July 2024.

This versatile token will serve as the backbone of the Pixelverse economy, enabling a vast array of functionalities within the game.

From purchasing in-game items to participating in governance decisions, PIXFI will be the key to unlocking the full potential of the Pixelverse experience.

To further incentivize participation and engagement, Pixelverse has announced an upcoming airdrop for existing users.

This generous move is sure to attract even more players to the Pixelverse world, solidifying its position as a leader in the ever-evolving Web3 gaming landscape.

Pixelverse's Aggressive Growth Strategy

Pixelverse's recent developments showcase an aggressive strategy for growth.

From high-profile collaborations with established NFT collections to the launch of their own blockchain solution and token, Pixelverse is making a bold play to capture a significant share of the Web3 gaming market.

On top of that, they have also secured $5.5 million fundings from Delphi Ventures, Merit Circle, and former Nexon CEO Joonmo (James) Kwon last month.

But this is not the end.

Pixelverse recently secured additional $2 million funding in an extension round, bringing new names like Galaxy Interactive, Crit Ventures US, ARC Community, and angel investors Alex Krüger, Luke Belmar, and Mike Dudas to the table.

This injection of capital reinforces Pixelverse's commitment to making crypto gaming mainstream and fuels the development of their upcoming MMORPG title.

While questions remain about the long-term sustainability of their economic model and the scalability of their technology, Pixelverse's data suggests they are on the right track to becoming a major force in the play-to-earn space.

It's definitely a project to keep an eye on.
