Web3 social arcade extends Pixelverse's tap-to-earn feature beyond Telegram to Base and Farcaster platforms.
In a groundbreaking move, Pixelverse, a leading Web3 gaming outfit, is delving deeper into the onchain world with the launch of Pixelverse Arcade on the Base network. Founded in 2024 and backed by esteemed investors such as Delphi Ventures, Mechanism Capital, Merit Circle, Galaxy Interactive, and the Gate.io Meme Fund, Pixelverse aims to redefine casual gaming by merging gameplay and collectibles directly into blockchain networks and social layers.
Pixelverse Arcade marks a significant shift from fleeting mobile metrics to persistent progression that lives on public networks. The first title to appear in the Arcade is Storychain, a collaborative storytelling game built on Farcaster. In Storychain, an AI agent sets rules for each thread, users reply to add short fragments, and when a chain concludes, the resulting story is minted as an NFT on Base.
Every in-game action in Pixelverse titles contributes to a seasonal Battle Pass with rewards, items, and achievements recorded onchain. This means that players retain real ownership of what they earn in Pixelverse Arcade, as their progress is recorded onchain. This onchain ownership is expected to drive participation and trading activity in Storychain, with leaderboards and rewards paid in the platform's native token, $PIXFI.
Farcaster acts as the social distribution layer where games like Storychain turn public threads into shared play. Pixelverse Arcade includes social integration via Farcaster, turning casual gameplay into persistent, ownable digital collectibles. The new Arcade layer unifies player identity and progression across all Pixelverse titles.
Pixelverse claims 50 million players across its Telegram catalogue, and with the launch of Pixelverse Arcade, the company plans to deploy the $PIXFI token on Base, linking gameplay rewards, trading activity, and community mechanics to the same networks. The company has integrated directly with meme-native Base communities such as Toshi, Ski Mask Dog, Mr. Mingles, and Brett.
Industry observers will be watching whether Pixelverse can translate the scale of its Telegram audience into active, spendful participants on Base and Farcaster. With the introduction of Pixelverse Arcade, the company is betting that casual social play can be upgraded with onchain ownership and community tooling.
Contributors to Storychain chains are credited onchain, and completed stories are organized into collections tied to Pixelverse's meme partners. On Base, Pixelverse's communities will be able to engage via collectibles and seasonal rewards. Pixelverse's move into the onchain world with Pixelverse Arcade is set to revolutionize the gaming landscape, offering a more engaging and rewarding experience for its users.
