$PIXEL Staking and Creator Program Now Live in Forgotten Runiverse

Pixels x Forgotten Runiverse Crossover Event Kicks Off

Today, May 5th, at 3:00 p.m. ET, the much-anticipated Pixels x Forgotten Runiverse crossover event begins. This marks a major moment for the Ronin blockchain scene. A massive $5,000,000 $PIXEL prize pool is up for grabs, and it's the first time that Pixels' $PIXEL token is being used in another game's economy. Players can now swap their Forgotten Runiverse currency, Quanta, for $PIXEL, adding a new dynamic to the event.

Joining the event is simple. All you need to do is hit the event button in the game — the same place where you usually go for daily boosts. From there, you can choose how much Quanta you want to bid and get started. The event is split into two claim periods, each lasting two weeks. The more Quanta you bid during these windows, the bigger share of the $PIXEL prize pool you can grab.

Spending $PIXEL in Forgotten Runiverse

Once you earn $PIXEL, you can use it inside Forgotten Runiverse. You can spend $PIXEL to buy Mana and Boosts, helping you level up quicker. During the event, players even get a 20% discount at the in-game store. This is a strong deal for anyone looking to gear up fast and get the most out of the event.

The event also brings special, limited-time rewards. The Font of Memory has been updated with Pixels-themed items, and they are mintable. This means you can keep these items forever. Some of the exclusive items up for grabs include:

• Pixels Cow Mount (Good, Great, Grand tiers)
• Pixels Robe Cosmetic (Pixels, Great Pixels, Grand Pixels tiers)

These items are only available during this event, so once it's over, they’ll be gone for good. This makes the event even more exciting for collectors and players who want to show off their new loot.

The event isn’t just about the $PIXEL token. Forgotten Runiverse has rolled out several major gameplay updates. Players can now share their Quanta earnings. Landowners have the ability to set splits between co-owners, builders, and visitors, rewarding players who collaborate with friends and guildmates.

Another major update is the introduction of Building Infusions. Infusing your buildings will boost their functions. For example, Temples will create more Mana, Gathering Stations will pull in extra resources, and Forges will improve crafting results. Infused City Stones reduce gold travel costs and now feature new icons on the map.

The game has also added Delves, which are open-world points of interest filled with action, rewards, and challenges. No loading screens are needed, so players can jump straight into the action. Daily quests and the main quest line have also been upgraded, offering more Quanta rewards and encouraging players to stay active.

For players with weaker internet, Forgotten Runiverse has made improvements to ensure smoother gameplay. The new Memory Optimized Client helps the game run better on mobile devices, making it more accessible for players on the go. This update ensures that more people can join in on the fun, even with limited internet speeds.

$PIXEL Staking and the Creator Program

In addition to the crossover event, Pixels has launched $PIXEL staking. Forgotten Runiverse is one of the first games to support this feature. Now, players have a new way to earn from their $PIXEL holdings. Along with staking, Pixels has introduced a new V1 Creator Program. Streamers and content creators can now share special referral links. Once your fans spend $5,000 in-game through your link, you’ll earn a $500 USDC payout. Additional rewards like early access, special channels, and branding kits will be available later.

Ahead of today’s launch, players had a chance to prepare. From April 24th to May 1st, the Dungeon Run event allowed players to earn entries for land NFT giveaways and up to 250 million Quanta. This extra Quanta can now be used to claim a bigger share of the $PIXEL prize pool. This early event helped to get players ready for the crossover event and gave them a head start.

The collaboration between Pixels and Forgotten Runiverse was first teased in early April 2025. The goal was simple: integrate Pixels' farming sim economy into the fantasy world of Forgotten Runiverse. But this partnership is also part of a larger movement toward bringing blockchain games together. With full $PIXEL integration, players will have new ways to earn, spend, and play across different games. This is just the beginning of a future where web3 games can share economies and communities, creating more opportunities for players.
