🌱Welcome to Pixotchi
Deep Dive into the Pixotchi Ecosystem!
Introduction to Pixotchi
Pixotchi is an onchain farming and resource-management game built on Base, where players grow plants, manage land, earn rewards, and participate in a transparent, verifiable in-game economy. All core actions — from watering and feeding to upgrading land and claiming rewards — take place directly onchain.
Originally launched in early 2023, Pixotchi has since evolved into a fully integrated Mini App inside Base-compatible clients and a standalone web application, offering fast onboarding and a unified experience for both newcomers and advanced users.
Pixotchi is designed to demonstrate what onchain gaming can look like when ownership, incentives, and gameplay depth are aligned.
Why Base?
Pixotchi is built on Base, a Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase, chosen for its:
Low transaction fees, enabling frequent onchain actions
Fast confirmation times, suitable for active gameplay loops
Ethereum-level security
Growing cultural ecosystem and strong developer support
Robust tooling, including Mini App support and AA-friendly infrastructure
Pixotchi doesn’t only run on Base — it is intentionally designed to complement Base’s ecosystem and demonstrate the potential of onchain mini apps.
Onboarding and Wallets
Pixotchi supports multiple onboarding paths to accommodate users with different levels of crypto experience:
Privy embedded wallets for seamless email or social login
External wallets such as Coinbase Wallet and other EOAs
Account Abstraction features, including gasless transactions via Paymasters
Mini App identity, enabling fast access inside Base-compatible clients
This hybrid approach ensures that onboarding remains simple without sacrificing the benefits of self-custody and blockchain verification.
What Makes Pixotchi Different
Pixotchi is built around a fully onchain lifecycle and economy, offering mechanics that are verifiable, permissionless, and designed for long-term sustainability.
Key features include:
Onchain resource economy
A multi-token system (SEED, LEAF, and soon PIXOTCHI Creator Coin) governs plant growth, land production, upgrades, and in-game rewards.
Real plant growth
Every core action — watering, feeding, extending lifetime, harvesting points — is recorded onchain. No centralized servers manage progression.
Land system and upgrades
Land plots generate production over time, can be upgraded, and provide strategic long-term advantages while being intentionally capped to prevent exploitation.
True ownership
Plants, land, resources, and progression are player-owned assets, not server-hosted game data.
Integrated social layer
Player profiles, identity, and cross-platform interactions allow the ecosystem to function as a social game, not just a resource engine.
Transparency and Open Source
Pixotchi is fully open source. Contracts, mechanics, and configurations are publicly available and auditable. This ensures:
No hidden mechanics
No centralized balancing without visibility
Long-term project integrity
Trustless interactions for all players
Open development has been a core principle since day one.
Constant Evolution
The Pixotchi ecosystem has undergone significant upgrades, including:
Transition to a unified Mini App architecture
Complete economic redesign to ensure sustainability
Land production balancing and new building levels
Integration of push notifications and background actions
Social identity features powered by external protocols
AI-assisted help inside the app
Major backend and performance improvements
V2, currently in its planning phase, will introduce major new systems and gameplay concepts.
The Project Philosophy
Pixotchi is not a hype-driven seasonal game. It is a long-term, independently built project focused on:
Sustainable design
Transparent systems
Fair mechanics
Onchain credibility
Community-driven evolution
Players, contributors, and builders shape the direction of the game as it grows.
