We just launched some pretty big infrastructure improvements to our staking system that will unlock a lot of functionality...
1. $vPIXEL is now live on @Ronin_Network mainnet & fully supported in the $PIXEL staking ecosystem.
$vPIXEL is the first implementation of @limitbreak app tokens out in the wild. Essentially it is a spend/stake only version of $PIXEL that is backed 1:1 with $PIXEL. Players will start to see UI components of $vPIXEL across the ecosystem. We will start to experiment with $vPIXEL rewards soon.
2. Validators now can reward ANY ERC20.
Previously rewards for stakers could only be denominated in $PIXEL. This unlocks entirely new economics for the staking ecosystem. This means that games can now monetize in tokens like USDC and distribute rewards to $PIXEL stakers in the same token they monetize with.
This has 2 benefits...
1) To participate in the $PIXEL ecosystem, games no longer need to add additional friction to payments by forcing the use of $PIXEL
2) Staking rewards can be now non-dilutive to the ecosystem. Ex: it's not favorable for $PIXEL if users stake $PIXEL just to sell all of the rewards in $PIXEL. However - if rewards are in USDC or other tokens users are free to swap the rewards without harming the $PIXEL ecosystem.
3. Visibility into RORS & Earnings distributed.
Games that use our analytics engine will now also publicly show RORS, earnings given per day, and revenue per day. This will give users who stake more visibility and understanding on how a game is performing.
4. Infrastructure for Phase II (variable rewards for games) has been included in this contract upgrade.
Soon the amount of rewards each game is able to distribute to users will be proportional to the amount of $PIXEL staked to each game. Users will soon be able to help decide how much $PIXEL each game gets to give out by staking their $PIXEL - very exciting!
