Pixels was the first mini-game launched in the OtherSpeck universe on September 6, 2023. The game was initially built on Polygon but had migrated to the Ronin blockchain in October leading to substantial increase in popularity ever since.
They secured $7.2M in funding from venture capital institutions as well as Animoca Brands and OpenSea through two different rounds, one in 2022 and another in 2024. These strategic raises connect them to a vast network of Web3 games and investors.
With all the success, the team launched their token $PIXEL on the Binance launchpool, which was met with a huge demand. The founder of Pixels, Luke Barwikowski said that the launch of the long-awaited PIXEL token made it feel like “day one” for the team as they look to fully implement the social farming game’s crypto vision.
