PIXFI Launch Looks To Capitalise On Telegram Gaming Craze And Market Upturn

The Telegram gaming trend really kicked off earlier this year after Notcoin launched in May, attracting over 35 million players in just a few months. Other Telegram-based games have also proven hugely popular recently, including Hamster Kombat and TapSwap—but until now Notcoin is the only major Telegram game to have launched an associated token.

After apparently attracting over 50 million new players to PixelTap in June alone, Pixelverse is now looking to strike fast and strike hard, launching PIXFI as soon as possible in order to capitalise— both on the popularity of Telegram gaming and the current positive shift in market sentiment.

Will There Be An Airdrop For Early Players?

One of the hottest questions for early players of PixelTap is “IF / WEN AIRDROP!?” 

Pixelverse hasn’t clarified if a PIXFI airdrop to existing players will take place, but Leon has said that the primary purpose of the token will be to reward players long-term, like existing players-to-earn games, rather than drop the token in a large lump sum:

This positions Pixelverse more as a play-to-earn game, using tapping mechanics in PixelTap to grow their audience and build their community before expanding their game…Players will be able to claim and receive PIXFI tokens and in-game assets, but the exact details of how this will work are still unknown.
