**Pixotchi is a farming game with NFT plants and lands on Base.** Mint a plant, keep it alive, develop your village, and compete with other players. Ownership and core gameplay transactions are recorded on [Base](https://www.base.org/).

Plant points, lifetimes, buildings, and reward accounting live in smart contracts. Chat, missions, notifications, and Neural Seed use offchain services; Blackjack also depends on a server that signs randomness. See [Trust & Security](/trust-and-security.md) for these dependencies.

## What makes it special

* **Real rewards.** Plants accumulate points (PTS), and points earn a share of an ETH rewards pool funded by SEED trading activity. Grow well, earn ETH.
* **Onchain gameplay.** Minting, care, attacks, upgrades, and reward claims settle on Base. Contract settings and upgrades can change gameplay, so review the current values in the app.
* **Made for your pocket.** Play in Coinbase Wallet (formerly Base App), a supported Farcaster client, or the web app at [mini.pixotchi.tech](https://mini.pixotchi.tech). Eligible transactions can receive gas sponsorship when the wallet and service support it.
* **Easy to join.** Sign in with an email through Privy, use Sign in with Base, or connect a supported wallet. Solana access appears only when the bridge is enabled.
* **A living world.** Public chat, daily tasks and streaks, leaderboards, and an in-game AI helper complement the farming game.

## The philosophy

Pixotchi combines onchain game assets with services that make them easier to use. Trading fees help fund ETH rewards, plant purchases burn a share of their SEED payments, and land upgrades consume LEAF. These mechanisms do not guarantee token value, rewards, or long-term sustainability.
