# FAQ

### **1. What makes Pixotchi different from other blockchain games?**

Pixotchi combines an onchain gaming economy with a lightweight, mobile-first experience.\
Every action—plant growth, scoring, building upgrades, staking, XP, quests—writes to the blockchain.\
This creates a verifiable, persistent world where progression and ownership cannot be altered or faked.

### **2. How do I keep my plant alive and progressing?**

Use in-game Elements to increase:

* **Points (PTS)** for rewards
* **Time of Death (TOD)** for plant lifespan

Regular interaction keeps the plant competitive in the leaderboard reward cycle.

### **3. Do I need prior crypto knowledge to play?**

No.\
Pixotchi supports both **Privy smart accounts** and **native wallets**, allowing seamless onboarding whether you're new to crypto or already familiar with onchain apps.

### **4. What is the Plant Passport?**

The Plant Passport is the onchain identity that stores:

* Plant stats
* Lifecycle history
* Score
* Ownership

It ensures full verifiable ownership even if the plant dies or the app changes.

### **5. What is the Luck Box / Arcade?**

The Arcade contains optional mini-games that provide:

* Extra PTS
* TOD
* Unique bonuses (varies by event)

No tokens are required; they operate using Stars earned through gameplay.

### **6. Why is there a tax on $SEED?**

A 5% tax applies only on **buy/sell** transactions.\
It funds:

* Rewards pool (ETH distributed to players)
* Development
* Automated liquidity strengthening

Transfers between wallets and in-game actions are **not taxed**.

### **7. How often can I interact with other players’ plants?**

You can Scout & Attack every **15 minutes** a plant above you, as long as it hasn’t been scouted in the past hour.

Successful attacks:

* Earn **0.5%** of the target's points
* Improve your ranking
* Increase your reward share

### **8. Why climb the leaderboard?**

Leaderboard position determines your share of the **ETH rewards pool**.\
Higher rank → higher percentage of rewards at the time you burn your plant.

### **9. Can I play Pixotchi on iOS and Android?**

Yes.\
Pixotchi is a PWA and Mini App, installable on all modern devices.

### **10. How do I track and claim my rewards?**

Go to **Account → Rewards**.\
Rewards are claimable only when you **burn the plant**, which finalizes its lifecycle and outputs ETH.

### **11. I participated in the private beta; where are my OG plants?**

Your OG plants and passports remain in your wallet as NFTs.\
They are not displayed in V2 by default but will be re-activated during the migration phase.

### **12. How are ETH rewards distributed?**

Rewards accumulate from SEED trading tax and are distributed proportionally based on each plant’s score share.\
Rewards are not influenced by buybacks, LP movement, or manual intervention.

### **13. What is the burn rate and how does it affect gameplay?**

A portion of SEED spent in-game is burned.\
This gradually reduces circulating supply and increases scarcity.\
Remaining portions are recycled into events, quests, or reward initiatives depending on active game design.

### **14. Is Pixotchi a financial product?**

No.\
Pixotchi is a game.\
$SEED is not an investment contract, and the team makes no claims about price or appreciation.\
Players should comply with regional laws governing digital assets.
