The plant card: PTS and stars on top, the TOD countdown and mood under the art
**Points (PTS)** are your plant's score, and they do double duty:
1. **Ranking**: the Plants leaderboard is sorted purely by PTS.
2. **Rewards**: your plant's share of the ETH rewards pool is proportional to its PTS.
You gain PTS from care items, arcade wins, land production, quests, and winning attacks. You lose a little when an attacker beats you, and you lose **all of it** when you claim your ETH. That's the big strategic trade-off.
## TOD, your lifeline
**Time of Death (TOD)** is a countdown. When it reaches zero, your plant dies. Every plant is born with **24 hours** on the clock, and you extend it with items, arcade prizes, Bee Farm production, and quest rewards.
Your plant's mood tells you how urgent things are:
| Status | Meaning |
| --------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Great** | More than 16 hours left. Relax. |
| **Okay** | 12 to 16 hours left. |
| **Dry** | 8 to 12 hours left. Time to water. |
| **Dying** | Under 8 hours. Act now! |
| **Dead** | The timer hit zero. |
{% hint style="warning" %}
**A dead plant is at risk of being burned.** It appears in the Dead filter, where an eligible player can burn it to earn a star. If it has not been burned, its owner can revive it for the current price (5 SEED at the September 2026 check), restoring 24 hours of lifetime and retaining its PTS. Burning is permanent; the game’s burn flow pays the owner’s accrued ETH.
{% endhint %}
## Levels & evolving art
Your plant’s **level** is derived from its PTS. Use the level shown on the plant card; it affects attack eligibility and artwork.
* **Attack rules**: you may only attack plants of a *higher* level than yours (details).
* **Looks**: your plant's artwork evolves through **23 visual stages**, changing roughly every 10 levels, from a humble pot to a magnificent grown plant.
## Stars
**Stars** are a special currency earned by burning dead plants (one star per kill). Spend them in the Arcade for extra plays with better cooldowns.
## A day in the life
A healthy daily routine takes about two minutes:
1. Check your plant's TOD; top up if it's below \~16 hours.
2. Collect land production and apply it from the Warehouse.
3. Play your free Box Game; spin if you have stars.
4. Send farmers on quests; start any building upgrades.
5. Tick off daily missions to bank Rocks and keep your streak.
Building PTS can increase your share of future rewards, but that share also depends on other plants’ PTS and the ETH entering the pool.
# Minting Plants & Strains
The five Pixotchi plant strains with live prices, supplies, and how minting works, including ETH mode and free claims.
Each plant is an NFT on Base. Strains have different artwork, prices, payment tokens, and configured mint caps. Most use SEED; TYJ uses JESSE.
## The strains
| Flora, 10 SEED | The original. Sold out: all 10,000 minted. Only obtainable second-hand. | strain1.svg |
| Taki, 20 SEED | 7,000 mint cap; 4,071 remaining at the 12 September 2026 snapshot. | strain2.svg |
| Rosa, 40 SEED | 2,500 mint cap; 555 remaining at the 12 September 2026 snapshot. | strain3.svg |
| Zest, 10 SEED | 7,500 mint cap; 156 remaining at the 12 September 2026 snapshot. | strain4.svg |
| TYJ, 500 JESSE | “Thank You Jesse” uses JESSE. 750 mint cap; 508 remaining at the 12 September 2026 snapshot. | strain5.svg |
SEED |
| 2 | Taki | 20 SEED | 7,000 | 2,929 | SEED |
| 3 | Rosa | 40 SEED | 2,500 | 1,945 | SEED |
| 4 | Zest | 10 SEED | 7,500 | 7,344 | SEED |
| 5 | TYJ | 500 JESSE | 750 | 242 | 
[JESSE](https://basescan.org/token/0x50f88fe97f72cd3e75b9eb4f747f59bceba80d59) |
{% hint style="info" %}
Mint prices and supply counts were read on **12 September 2026**. Burned plants do not free up slots under the current mint-count rules. Availability is subject to the configured cap and active flag; check Mint for the current state.
{% endhint %}
Every newborn plant starts with **24 hours of TOD**, zero PTS, and level 1. The strain affects looks and collectibility; care mechanics are identical for all.
## Ways to mint
* **Standard:** approve the selected strain’s payment token if required, then mint. Supported smart wallets can bundle the approval and purchase.
* **ETH mode**: smart-wallet users can pay directly in ETH. The app swaps ETH to SEED and mints in one atomic bundle. (SEED-priced strains only.)
* **From Solana, when enabled:** supported strains can be minted through the bridge’s Twin account. Use the Mint options actually available to your connected wallet.
* **Free claim**: from time to time, Pixotchi offers a free plant (plus starter bonuses) to users verified with **Base Verify**. If a claim campaign is live, you'll see it right in the Mint tab.
## What minting does with your SEED
Minting is one of the game's main token sinks: **70% of the SEED you pay is burned forever**, and 30% funds rewards and operations. (For TYJ, the same split applies to JESSE, burned to a dead address.) Details in [Economy Overview](/tokens/economy-overview).
## After the mint
Plant names must be **2–10 UTF-8 bytes** after trimming. Emoji and some non-English characters use more than one byte. The rename dialog shows the current price and validates the name before submission.
# Care Items (Elements)
All 12 Garden care elements: four TOD items, four PTS items, and four hybrids, with prices, effects, wallet purchases, and comparisons.
Care items, called "elements", are how you actively grow your plant. Some add **PTS** (score), some add **TOD** (lifetime), and hybrid items add both.
Farm > Plants: select a care item, review its effects and price, then choose a quantity if supported.
**Water** | 25.88 SEED | None | +12h | Everyday survival |
| 
**Pollinator** | 43.13 SEED | None | +26h | A full day+ of safety |
| 
**Moonlight** | 97.75 SEED | None | +75.6h | Going on vacation |
| 
**Raincloud** | 200 SEED | 0 | +7 days | One week of care |
### PTS only
| Item | Price | PTS | TOD | Best for |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------: | -----: | ---: | -------------------- |
| 
**Sunlight** | 17.25 SEED | +48 | None | Cheapest score boost |
| 
**Fertilizer** | 35.94 SEED | +137.5 | None | Efficient points |
| 
**Magic Soil** | 60.38 SEED | +273 | None | Serious climbing |
| 
**Botano** | 86.25 SEED | +450 | None | Big score jumps |
### PTS + TOD
| Item | Price | PTS | TOD | Best for |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------: | -------: | -------: | ----------------------------- |
| 
**Dream Dew** | 69 SEED | +180 | +48h | The balanced pick |
| 
**Nitro** | 122.19 SEED | +510 | +72h | Points and three days of care |
| 
**Everdew** | 20,000 SEED | +125,000 | +90 days | Large PTS boost and 90 days |
| 
**Superbloom** | 37,500 SEED | +250,000 | +14 days | Largest PTS boost per item |
**TOD** means Time of Death. A grant such as **+7 days TOD** adds seven days to a living plant's lifetime. It is an extension, not a fixed calendar date.
{% hint style="info" %}
Prices in the tables are rounded for readability. Review the current price, PTS, TOD, and total quantity in the Garden shop before confirming a purchase.
{% endhint %}
## Choosing larger care items
* **Raincloud** adds a full week for 200 SEED. At about 28.57 SEED per day, its cost per day is about **7.93% lower than Moonlight's**.
* **Superbloom** provides the largest PTS grant per item, with two weeks of TOD included. Its price is **0.15 SEED per PTS**, about **21.74% lower than Botano's** cost per PTS before counting the added TOD.
* **Everdew** gives half Superbloom's PTS with 90 days of TOD. Its price is **0.16 SEED per PTS**, about **16.52% lower than Botano's** before counting the added TOD. Two Everdews cost 40,000 SEED and add 250,000 PTS plus 180 days of TOD; one Superbloom costs 37,500 SEED and adds the same PTS plus 14 days.
The larger hybrids let a player add substantial PTS in fewer item purchases. A smart wallet is not required to buy a single item. Ten Superbloom purchases add 2,500,000 PTS and 140 days of TOD for 375,000 SEED; fifteen add 3,750,000 PTS and 210 days for 562,500 SEED. These totals describe item grants, not a guaranteed rank or ETH payout: check the current leaderboard and reward mechanics.
## How buying works
* Open **Farm > Plants**, select a plant, and choose an item from its Garden shop. Review the PTS, TOD, price, and quantity before confirming.
* Items apply **instantly** to the selected plant. There's no inventory to manage.
* Standard wallets can buy individual items. A SEED approval may be needed before the first purchase; the app and wallet show the required confirmations.
* Supported smart wallets can buy a quantity of the selected item in one bundle, subject to the app’s current limit (default 80). Review the quantity, total cost, and sponsorship status before confirming.
* Only **living** plants can receive items. A dead plant must be revived first (5 SEED).
* Every purchase burns 70% of the SEED you spend, so you're growing your plant *and* shrinking SEED supply.
## Not in this shop
* **The Fence**, the defensive item that blocks attacks, lives with the combat systems. See Attacks & Defense.
* Land buildings provide recurring production after construction. Their value to your farm depends on purchase and upgrade costs, your collection routine, and which resources your plants need.
## Which item should I buy?
* **"My plant is about to die!"** Water (or Pollinator if you can't check in tomorrow).
* **For PTS:** compare points per SEED across Sunlight, Fertilizer, Magic Soil, and Botano. Botano provides more PTS per SEED than the smaller pure-points items in the checked table, but requires a larger purchase.
* **"I'm away for the weekend."** Moonlight (\~3 days) or Nitro (3 days plus 510 PTS).
* **"I want more PTS with fewer purchases, or a longer TOD extension."** Compare Superbloom, Everdew, and Raincloud in the catalogue above.
* **"It's mission day."** Ten cheap Sunlights complete the *Buy 10 elements* task while adding 480 PTS.
# Attacks & Defense
Pixotchi PvP: attack rules and odds, the Fence defense, killing dead plants, and earning stars.
Pixotchi's PvP is deliberately underdog-friendly: you can only punch **up**, never down. It all happens from the **Ranking** tab.
Pick a target above you, check the odds and the PTS at stake, then confirm
The Fence is the game's only defense item. While active, **all incoming attacks are blocked**.
* **Price:** 50 SEED per day of protection.
* **Duration:** 1 to 30 days, your choice, and you can extend an active fence anytime.
* **Limit:** you can't buy more fence-days than your plant has TOD remaining (protecting a plant that would die mid-fence makes no sense, so extend TOD first).
* A shield badge and countdown appear on your plant while it's protected.
{% hint style="success" %}
A fence prevents eligible incoming plant attacks while active. Compare its cost with the PTS you want to protect; it does not provide a guaranteed financial return.
{% endhint %}
## Kills, the graveyard game
When a plant's TOD hits zero it dies, and enters the danger zone. Under the leaderboard's **Dead** filter, *any* player with a living plant can **kill (burn)** it:
| Kill mechanics | |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Cooldown | 1 kill per wallet per hour |
| Killer receives | **+1 Star** (arcade currency) |
| Dead plant | Burned, removed from the game permanently |
| The dead plant's ETH | **Automatically paid out to its owner.** Killing never steals rewards |
So death is a race: the owner can revive for 5 SEED (keeping all PTS!), but only if nobody burns the plant first. Reviving is cheap; being burned is forever.
## Stars
Stars are earned exclusively by kills and spent in the Arcade. A star play of the Box Game has a 6-hour cooldown instead of 24, and SpinLeaf costs one star per spin. Active hunters keep their arcade spinning all day.
{% hint style="info" %}
Fence V2 configuration was checked on 12 September 2026: 50 SEED per day, with a configured maximum of 30 days. The purchase quote also enforces the plant’s lifetime and existing protection limits.
{% endhint %}
# ETH Rewards (P2E Model)
How Pixotchi plants earn real ETH: where the pool comes from, how shares are calculated, and the strategic cost of claiming.
Pixotchi pays players in **real ETH**, and the whole mechanism is a public smart contract. No points-to-token conversions, no promises. Just a pool and a formula.
## Where the ETH comes from
At the September 2026 check, taxable SEED buys and sells on recognized market-maker pairs use a 5% fee: 2% for the revenue-share wallet, 2% for the team, and 1% for liquidity. Exempt addresses and unrecognized pairs can behave differently. ETH reaches the rewards system when the contract processes accumulated fees.
## How your share is calculated
The contract runs continuous pro-rata accounting (the same battle-tested pattern used by staking protocols):
> **Your plant's pending ETH grows in proportion to its share of all PTS in the game.**
* When ETH enters the pool, it's distributed across every point in existence at that moment.
* A plant with 2% of all PTS accrues 2% of every distribution.
* Your accrued ETH is **never lost** by gameplay: attacks, purchases, and score changes snapshot your earnings first. What you've earned stays earned.
You can watch your plant's **Unclaimed Rewards** tick up on its card.
## Claiming, the big decision
Claim anytime from the plant panel. But know the price:
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Claiming resets your plant's PTS to zero.** Your accumulated ETH is paid out in full, and your plant drops to the bottom of the leaderboard (level 1, 0 PTS) to begin its next cycle. The app makes you type `CONFIRM` because there's no undo.
{% endhint %}
That's the strategic heartbeat of Pixotchi:
* **Claim early**: lock in gains, restart small.
* **Let it ride**: a bigger score earns a bigger slice of *every future* distribution, but you're a juicier attack target (a [Fence](/game-mechanics/attacks-and-defense) helps).
Two more facts worth knowing:
* Claiming is the one action that's **never gas-sponsored**. You pay your own (tiny) Base gas fee.
* If your plant dies and someone burns it, **your ETH is automatically sent to you**. Death never confiscates earnings.
## The flywheel
Rewards depend on trading activity and ETH available to the rewards system. They are not a fixed yield or a guaranteed return.
# Arcade
Pixotchi's arcade mini-games: the free daily Box Game and the star-powered SpinLeaf wheel, with live reward tables.
The Arcade is your daily dose of free progression: two quick games of chance that pay out PTS, TOD, and sometimes LEAF. Open it from your plant's **Arcade** tile.
## Box Game
Pick any of the nine boxes (your pick does not change the odds). The contract rolls **two independent rewards**, one from the points table and one from the time table, so you might win points, lifetime, both, or (sometimes) nothing at all.
| | |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Free play** | Once every **24 hours** per plant |
| **Star play** | Spend 1 , play again every **6 hours** |
| **Possible PTS** | 0, 5, 15, 30, or 45 |
| **Possible TOD** | 0h, 2h, 3h, 4h, or **12h** |
A maximum Box Game roll awards 45 PTS and 12 hours of lifetime. A play can also award nothing; review any gas cost shown before confirming.
## SpinLeaf
A six-segment prize wheel with a twist: it's a two-step **commit-and-reveal** game, with an onchain result. Tap **Spin** to commit, then **Stop Wheel** to reveal.
| | |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cost** | 1 per spin |
| **Cooldown** | 6 hours per plant |
| **Current wheel** | +300 PTS, +12h TOD, +50 PTS, **50,000 LEAF** 
, nothing, nothing |
{% hint style="success" %}
That LEAF slot is special: SpinLeaf is one of the very few ways to earn [LEAF](/tokens/leaf-token) without staking, and 50,000 LEAF is a real contribution toward a building upgrade.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
SpinLeaf’s six rewards, six-hour cooldown, and one-star cost were checked on 12 September 2026. Game settings can change. Its secret is saved in this browser between commit and reveal, so resume using the same browser profile and device.
{% endhint %}
## Where do stars come from?
Stars are earned by [killing dead plants](/game-mechanics/attacks-and-defense): one star per kill, one kill per hour. The arcade is the *only* place to spend them, which makes graveyard patrol a genuinely rewarding habit.
Arcade rewards are applied after the relevant transaction confirms. Box Game shows its result in a popup; SpinLeaf requires its reveal step before the outcome is final.
# Lands
Pixotchi Lands: your NFT plot on a shared world map, with buildings that grow your plants passively. Minting, coordinates, XP, and naming.
A Land turns Pixotchi from a pet game into a strategy game. Each Land is an NFT plot on a shared world map that hosts **buildings**, and buildings produce the PTS and TOD your plants crave, every day, without spending SEED on items.
Your village: XP top-left, map coordinates top-right, buildings all around
Each building shows its production rate, accumulated output, and next upgrade
Produces points, and at max level becomes a hybrid that also gives lifetime.
| Level | Upgrade cost | Build time | Production |
| ----- | ------------ | ---------- | --------------------------------- |
| 1 | 1.35M LEAF | 36h | \~8 PTS/day |
| 2 | 2.12M LEAF | 48h | \~24 PTS/day |
| 3 | 2.84M LEAF | 78h | \~41 PTS/day |
| 4 | 6.5M LEAF | 94h | **\~85 PTS/day + \~3.6h TOD/day** |
The only building with a fourth level, and at max it becomes a hybrid, producing points *and* lifetime.
### Soil Factory
The points workhorse.
| Level | Upgrade cost | Build time | Production |
| ----- | ------------ | ---------- | ------------ |
| 1 | 2.03M LEAF | 24h | \~12 PTS/day |
| 2 | 2.86M LEAF | 60h | \~34 PTS/day |
| 3 | 4.69M LEAF | 96h | \~61 PTS/day |
### Bee Farm
The lifekeeper: pure TOD, every day.
| Level | Upgrade cost | Build time | Production |
| ----- | ------------ | ---------- | -------------- |
| 1 | 1.13M LEAF | 6h | \~1h TOD/day |
| 2 | 1.32M LEAF | 18h | \~2.5h TOD/day |
| 3 | 2.37M LEAF | 30h | \~4.5h TOD/day |
{% hint style="success" %}
**Choosing what to build:** Bee Farm produces TOD, Soil Factory produces PTS, and Solar Panels add TOD at level 4. Choose according to your plants’ needs, upgrade budget, and how often you collect.
{% endhint %}
**Instant upgrades:** the app offers a PIXOTCHI payment option for immediate upgrades. Village prices in the checked configuration range from 1,500 to 35,000 PIXOTCHI; Town prices differ. Review whether you are starting an instant upgrade or finishing construction already in progress. Upgrading buildings pause production and affected functions.
## The production loop
1. **Buildings accumulate** output continuously (visible per building).
2. **Collect** it into your land's **Warehouse** (+1 land XP per building per day).
3. From the Warehouse, **apply** PTS and TOD to *any plant you own*. How to split it is your choice.
Two fine points: applying **PTS requires the plant to be alive**, while applying **TOD works even on a full timer** (it stacks). Raids can only take a share of production that is still uncollected in your buildings, so collecting regularly keeps it out of reach.
## Town, the feature buildings
| Building | Cost to unlock | What it does |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| 
**Stake House** | Pre-built | Opens the SEED staking panel |
| 
**Warehouse** | Pre-built | Stores and applies your production |
| 
**Marketplace** | 400K LEAF (24h) | Player-to-player SEED and LEAF trading |
| 
**Farmer House** | 550K, 12M, 18M LEAF (24h/50h/90h) | Quests: each level adds a farmer slot (max 3) |
| 
**Casino** | 500,000 PIXOTCHI | Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat |
| 
**Barracks** | 250 SEED | Troops and raids |
## Power tools for multi-land players
Smart-wallet owners with several lands get one-tap batch actions:
* **Batch Claim:** collect production from multiple buildings. The default limit is 150 buildings per transaction; the app shows its configured PIXOTCHI burn fee before confirmation. Larger selections can require several transactions.
* **Batch Quests:** start eligible idle farmers across lands, in bundles of up to the configured limit (default 100). A PIXOTCHI burn fee applies once per run; confirmed continuation bundles do not pay it again. Review the fee shown in the app.
Every LEAF spent on upgrades is **burned forever**. Land development is the biggest LEAF sink in the economy.
# Farmer Quests
Farmer House quests: send farmers on timed adventures for SEED, LEAF, plant points, lifetime, or XP. Difficulties, rewards, and the loot-bag timer.
The Farmer House sends brave little farmers on adventures. Hours later they return with a loot bag containing one of five rewards, some paid straight to your wallet.
## How a quest works
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Start
Pick a farmer slot and a difficulty. Your Farmer House level equals how many farmers you can send at once (1 to 3).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Return
When the timer ends, tap **Return now** and your farmer heads home with a sealed loot bag.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Open, quickly!
Tap **Open now** after returning. The opening window is **256 blocks** from the quest’s randomness block (roughly 8½ minutes at two seconds per block). An expired bag cannot award a reward and must be reset; expiry does not automatically submit that reset transaction.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
## Difficulties
| Difficulty | Duration | Reward multiplier |
| ---------- | -------- | ----------------- |
| Easy | 3 hours | x1 |
| Medium | 6 hours | x2 |
| Hard | 12 hours | x3 |
After opening the bag, the farmer rests for about **12 hours** before it can start again, whatever the difficulty. The contract’s per-difficulty cooldown settings (12, 18 and 24 hours) are not applied at the moment: every farmer gets the Easy cooldown (checked onchain on 3 October 2026). The app’s slot timer shows when that farmer can start again.
## The loot table
Each quest pays exactly **one** reward type, chosen at random (equal odds), with the amount rolled in a range and multiplied by difficulty:
| Reward | Base range | On Hard (x3) | Where it goes |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | -------------- | --------------- |
| SEED | 1 to 4 | up to 12 | **Your wallet** |
| LEAF | 5,000 to 16,667 | up to \~50,000 | **Your wallet** |
| Plant TOD | 1h to 8h | up to 24h | Land Warehouse |
| Plant PTS | 1 to 33 | up to 99 | Land Warehouse |
| Land XP | 1 to 5 | up to 15 | The land itself |
{% hint style="info" %}
Reward ranges and difficulty settings were checked on 12 September 2026. SEED and LEAF payouts depend on rewards-wallet balances and allowances. The app checks funding before starting or returning a farmer, but this is not a reservation or a payout guarantee. If rewards are unavailable, wait before returning; once returned, open within the bag’s deadline.
{% endhint %}
## Worth knowing
* **Compare the full cycle:** Easy, Medium, and Hard take about 3, 6, and 12 hours, and every difficulty is followed by the same 12-hour rest. Hard multiplies the reward by three, so it pays the most per cycle, but it keeps the farmer out longer.
* **Randomness is onchain**: rewards derive from block hashes, not a server dice roll.
* Starting a quest ticks the daily [*Send a farmer* mission](/game-mechanics/daily-missions).
* **Own many lands?** Batch Quests starts eligible farmers in bundles (default limit 100). Review the app’s configured PIXOTCHI fee, charged once per run. Returning and opening remain per-land actions.
# Marketplace
The onchain SEED and LEAF marketplace: a fee-free, player-to-player order book on your land.
The Marketplace is Pixotchi’s built-in way to trade SEED and LEAF with other players. LEAF is also transferable as an ERC-20 token; trading is not technically restricted to this marketplace.
## Why it exists
* **Landowners need LEAF** for building upgrades, often more than their staking earns.
* **Stakers earn LEAF** continuously, often more than they spend.
The Marketplace lets both sides set their own price and meet in the middle, keeping LEAF's price discovery entirely inside the game.
## How it works
* **Unlock:** build the Marketplace on your land (400K LEAF, 24h, or instant with PIXOTCHI).
* **Create an order:** choose to sell SEED or sell LEAF, set your amount and asking price. Your tokens are escrowed onchain until the order fills or you cancel.
* **Take an order:** browse the book. Asks and bids are aggregated by price level with depth shown, always quoted as *LEAF per SEED*. Tap a level to prefill, confirm, done. Fills are all-or-nothing (no partial fills).
* **Cancel anytime:** unfilled orders return your escrow in full.

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the displayed LEAF-per-SEED price to compare orders. Staking earns LEAF over time, while buying an order exchanges tokens immediately; neither route guarantees a better future price.
{% endhint %}
Creating an order also ticks the daily [*Place an order* mission](/game-mechanics/daily-missions). Plant care items are **not** sold here; those live in the plant-side [Garden shop](/game-mechanics/elements).
# Casino
Roulette, Blackjack, and Baccarat in Pixotchi: construction cost, supported tokens, betting limits, settlement, and game availability.
The Casino unlocks Roulette, Blackjack, and Baccarat on your land when each game is enabled. Bets and payouts settle onchain. Roulette and Baccarat use commit-and-reveal; Blackjack depends on server-signed randomness. Game settings, upgrades, and reward-pool funding remain part of the system.
| Casino basics | |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Unlock cost** | 500,000 PIXOTCHI (one-time build) |
| **Betting tokens** | 5 supported: SEED, LEAF, PIXOTCHI, CRYPTICPOET, JESSE |
| **Payouts** | Instant, from onchain reward pools |
## Bet limits, per token and game
| Token | Roulette | Blackjack | Baccarat |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | ----------------- |
| **SEED** | 10 to 100 | 10 to 100 | 10 to 100 |
| **LEAF** | 100,000 to 3M | 100,000 to 3M | 100,000 to 3M |
| 
**PIXOTCHI** | 25,000 to 150,000 | 30,000 to 75,000 | 25,000 to 150,000 |
| 
**CRYPTICPOET** | 150 to 5,000 | 150 to 5,000 | 150 to 5,000 |
| **JESSE** | 200 to 2,500 | 200 to 2,500 | 200 to 2,500 |
{% hint style="info" %}
Limits above are the amount of that token you can bet per game, read directly from the contract's per-token configuration (12 September 2026, all five tokens active on all three games). The token roster and limits are onchain settings the team can adjust; the in-game token dropdown always shows what's currently accepted.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Play fast:** Roulette and Baccarat use a commit-and-reveal flow. After betting, you must reveal the result within about **8 minutes** (256 blocks) or the bet expires and is forfeited. Baccarat shows the remaining reveal window in the game. Roulette does not show a countdown, so reveal right away and don't close it mid-game.
{% endhint %}
## Roulette
**European single-zero**: 37 pockets, a true 2.7% house edge, the fairest wheel in the business. Place up to **5 bets per spin**:
| Bet | Covers | Pays |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------- | ---- |
| Straight | 1 number | 35:1 |
| Split | 2 numbers | 17:1 |
| Street | 3 numbers | 11:1 |
| Corner | 4 numbers | 8:1 |
| Six Line | 6 numbers | 5:1 |
| Dozen / Column | 12 numbers | 2:1 |
| Red / Black / Odd / Even / Low / High | 18 numbers | 1:1 |
Zero wins only for a straight bet on 0; all outside bets lose on zero (that's the house edge, exactly as in Monte Carlo).
## Blackjack
Blackjack uses server-signed randomness and settles its actions onchain. It depends on both the game contract and the signing service; availability can be disabled independently of Roulette and Baccarat.
* Dealer stands on 17. **Natural blackjack pays 3:2.**
* **Hit, Stand, Double** (on any first two cards), **Split** (once, matching pair), and **Surrender** (recover half your bet). Insurance is not offered.
* One active game per land, and you can safely resume an unfinished hand.
## Baccarat
Punto Banco with an 8-deck shoe and standard third-card rules. No decisions after betting, just pick a side:
| Bet | Pays | Note |
| ------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Player | 1:1 | |
| Banker | 0.95:1 | 5% commission, because Banker wins slightly more often |
| Tie | 8:1 | Player and Banker bets push (refund) on a tie |
## Good to know
* Playing any casino game ticks the daily [*Play a casino game* mission](/game-mechanics/daily-missions). A minimum-bet roulette spin in whichever token you hold is the cheapest ticket.
* Per-token stats (games played, wagered, won) are tracked onchain and shown in the casino panel.
* The casino is entertainment, not a strategy. Every game carries a house edge, so set a budget and enjoy it as the neon corner of your farm.
{% hint style="info" %}
Bet limits shown here are rounded snapshots. The active token-specific limits and pool availability in the app take precedence. Never start a second bet just because a pending reveal has not appeared yet.

# Barracks & Raids
The Barracks: train Swordsmen and Phalanxes, raid other lands' production, and defend your own warehouse.
The Barracks brings land-versus-land warfare to Pixotchi. Train troops, raid your neighbors' **uncollected production**, and haul the spoils home. Or build a defense that makes raiders regret trying.
## Getting started
Build a Barracks for **250 SEED** (instant). Then train your army. Training costs **PIXOTCHI, which is burned**, making every soldier a small deflationary event.
## The troops
| | 
Swordsman | 
Phalanx |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Role** | Offense | Defense |
| **Attack** | 13 | 2 |
| **Defense** | 4 | 23 |
| **Cost** | 2,000 PIXOTCHI (burned) | 500 PIXOTCHI (burned) |
| **Training time** | 6 min each | 2 min each |
| **Carry capacity** | 9 PTS + 10 min TOD | 1 PTS + 1 min TOD |
One shared training queue covers both types; troops become available progressively as each finishes.
## How raids resolve
1. **Pick a target.** The app lists raidable lands (must have a Barracks, production worth stealing, and no defense cooldown).
2. **Send troops.** Your attack power = Swordsmen x13 + Phalanxes x2.
3. **Defense holds the wall.** Defender power = their stationed troops' defense, **boosted up to +10%** by how developed their village buildings are. A maxed farm literally defends itself better.
4. **Strictly more power wins.** Ties go to the defender.
**If you win:** you loot **15%** of the defender's uncollected building production (both PTS and TOD), capped by your surviving troops' carry capacity, moved straight into your own Warehouse. Resources the defender had already collected into their Warehouse are not part of the loot. Plus **15 land XP**.
**Either way, war has costs:** both sides take casualties proportional to how close the fight was. Overwhelming force loses almost nothing, while a crushed defender can lose their whole garrison. Defenders lose Phalanxes first; successful defenses earn **10 XP**.
| Cooldowns | |
| ---------------------- | --------- |
| Your next attack | 1.5 hours |
| Raided land's immunity | 3 hours |
{% hint style="success" %}
**Defense playbook:** keep a Phalanx wall (23 defense each is brutal value at 500 PIXOTCHI), level your village buildings for the home bonus, and **collect your production often**. Raids only take a share of production that is still uncollected, so collected Warehouse stock and resources applied to plants are safe.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Raids move eligible production resources rather than plants or token balances. The app’s current configuration and target preview determine what can be raided; documented values are snapshots.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
The troop table describes Barracks V2 configuration checked on 12 September 2026. The available controls depend on which Barracks version is enabled in the app. Raid previews show the current strengths, capacity, and eligibility for the selected lands.

**SEED** (20M initial supply) is the money: minting, items, and fees. Trading it pays a 5% tax that funds the **ETH rewards pool**, and eligible plant purchases burn a configured share of the payment; land minting and other uses follow different rules. Staking SEED mints **LEAF**, a transferable game resource that land development consumes (and burns, 100%). **PIXOTCHI**, the creator coin on Zora, powers convenience and advanced features (speed-ups, casino chips, batch actions, troops) with several of its sinks burning too, while creator-fee revenue can support ecosystem funding and discretionary SEED buybacks.
{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}
# Economy Overview
How SEED trading fees, gameplay burns, LEAF emissions, and PIXOTCHI utility interact, with a dated supply snapshot.
Pixotchi uses several different flows: taxable SEED trading can fund ETH rewards, plant purchases burn part of their payment, and staking emits LEAF that building upgrades consume. These are game-economy mechanisms, not guarantees of stability or returns.
## The two engines
### Engine 1: trading funds rewards
At the 12 September 2026 snapshot, **taxable SEED buys and sells on recognized market-maker pairs** charged 5%. Fee-exempt addresses and unrecognized pairs are exceptions. The split was:
| Share | Destination |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **2%** | The **ETH rewards pool**, distributed continuously to plants by PTS |
| **2%** | Development and operations |
| **1%** | Automated liquidity strengthening |
Plant rewards are paid in ETH rather than newly minted SEED. The amount available still depends on collected fees, contract processing, and trading activity.
### Engine 2: gameplay burns supply
When you spend SEED inside the game (minting, items, fences, revives, renames), the contract splits the payment onchain: **70% burned forever, 30% recycled** into rewards and operations.
> At the 12 September 2026 snapshot, SEED’s totalSupply was about **18,987,157**, compared with 20,000,000 initially minted: about **1,012,843 SEED** had been removed from totalSupply. Another roughly **49,502 SEED** sat at the dead address and remains included in totalSupply. These are distinct measures; neither is a complete circulating-supply calculation.
## Every sink in the game
| You spend | Where it goes |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| SEED on mints, items, fences, revives, names | **70% burned**, 30% rewards and ops |
| SEED on land mints and barracks builds | Rewards and ops |
| LEAF on building upgrades | **100% burned** |
| PIXOTCHI on troop training | **100% burned** |
| PIXOTCHI on batch-action fees | **100% burned** |
| PIXOTCHI on instant building upgrades | **100% burned** |
| Casino bets (any token) | Circulate through the onchain reward pools |
| Marketplace SEED and LEAF trades | Player to player, **zero fee** |
## Supply snapshot — 12 September 2026
| Metric | Value |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| SEED total supply | 20,000,000 initial; \~18,987,157 totalSupply after supply-reducing burns |
| SEED burned to date | \~1,012,843 removed from totalSupply; \~49,502 additionally held at the dead address |
| SEED staked | \~3,318,589 SEED, about 17.5% of totalSupply |
| LEAF emission | \~3.33 per staked SEED per day, burned by land upgrades |
| PIXOTCHI supply | 1,000,000,000 totalSupply; \~20,136,125 held at the dead address |
| Plants minted | 22,460 across five strains |
| Lands minted | 1,162 of 20,000 |
The in-app Swap > Info screen shows the live burn percentage and daily reward flow at any moment; independent views live on [Dune and DexScreener](/links).
## Why this design holds up
* **Rewards depend on activity.** ETH rewards are not SEED inflation, but that does not eliminate market, liquidity, contract, or sustainability risks.
* **Playing is deflationary.** The more people play, the scarcer SEED gets. Engagement tightens the economy instead of stretching it.
* **LEAF is a transferable progression token.** Staking produces it and upgrades consume it. Marketplace prices depend on supply and demand; the contract does not guarantee stable development costs.
* **Configuration can change.** Administrators can adjust supported parameters and upgrade game contracts. Review the current app values before transacting.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Adjustable fees and game settings:** SEED’s owner can change buy and sell fee components, capped at 5% total per side, as well as fee exemptions and recognized pairs. Game prices and reward settings can also change. This page is a dated snapshot, not a live feed.

# SEED Token
SEED’s initial supply, burn behavior, current trading-fee configuration, gameplay uses, and linked token audit.
**SEED is the currency of Pixotchi.** Most strains are minted with it (TYJ uses JESSE), every item is priced in it, and its trading activity funds the ETH that players earn.
| | |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Contract (Base)** | `0x546D239032b24eCEEE0cb05c92FC39090846adc7` |
| **Total supply** | 20,000,000 initially minted; no external mint function. Supply-reducing burns lower totalSupply. |
| Current totalSupply | \~18,987,157 totalSupply at 12 September 2026; this is not a circulating-supply estimate |
| **Launch** | Initial supply minted at deployment on 1 February 2024; original SEED/WETH pool on BaseSwap |
| **Team allocation** | The contract alone does not establish the team’s complete historical allocation or purchases |
| **Tax** | 5% on DEX buys and sells (transfers and gameplay untaxed) |
| **Audit** | [BlockSAFU](https://blocksafu.com/audit/0x546D239032b24eCEEE0cb05c92FC39090846adc7) |
## Supply at deployment
SEED’s contract was deployed on **1 February 2024** and minted 20 million tokens to its deployer in the constructor. It has no external mint function. Review the [deployment transaction](https://basescan.org/tx/0x41d3ef5e78563acdc2e6d43d248f71244fdf1f40675e4f3d4e488057e9a85f40) and subsequent transfers for the launch distribution.
## What the 5% tax does
| | |
| -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 2% | **Player rewards**: funds the [ETH pool](/game-mechanics/rewards-p2e-model) paid to plants by PTS |
| 2% | Development and operations |
| 1% | Automated liquidity |
Fees apply to non-exempt buys and sells involving recognized market-maker pairs. Ordinary wallet transfers are untaxed. The owner can adjust the fee components up to 5% per side and change exemptions and recognized pairs.
## What SEED is for
* [Minting plants](/game-mechanics/minting-plants) (10 to 40 SEED) and [lands](/game-mechanics/lands) (500 SEED)
* [Care items](/game-mechanics/elements), [fences](/game-mechanics/attacks-and-defense), revives, and plant names
* [Staking](/tokens/staking) to earn LEAF (\~3.33 per SEED per day)
* [Casino](/game-mechanics/lands/casino) chips and [Marketplace](/game-mechanics/lands/marketplace) trading
* Quest loot: quests pay SEED back out to players
Eligible plant purchases burn a configured share of their SEED payment. Land mints, staking, casino bets, and marketplace trades follow different payment rules. See [Economy Overview](/tokens/economy-overview) for the dated supply snapshot.
## Getting SEED
Use the [How to Get SEED](/tokens/seed-token/how-to-buy) guide to review supported routes, transfer-tax handling, and minimum received.
{% hint style="warning" %}
SEED is a game token, not an investment product. No claims are made about price or returns; markets fluctuate and taxes apply to trades. Check your local regulations, and never play with funds you can't afford to lose.
{% endhint %}
# How to Get SEED
Get SEED through the in-app swap or a compatible external route, and review token tax, minimum received, slippage, and the contract address.
## The easy way: swap in-app
Open the **Swap** tab in [the game](https://mini.pixotchi.tech) and trade ETH (or USDC) for SEED in one tap. The in-app swap:
* Uses KyberSwap aggregation for supported routes and a BaseSwap route where configured; no route guarantees the best price across every venue.
* handles the 5% SEED tax and slippage automatically, so the quote you see already accounts for it,
* supports smart-wallet bundles, so there's no separate approval dance.
Smart-wallet users barely need this page at all: **ETH mode** lets you pay for mints and items directly in ETH, swapping behind the scenes in the same transaction.
## Other places to trade
* **Original BaseSwap pool:** the [SEED/WETH contract](https://basescan.org/address/0xAA6a81A7df94DAb346e2d677225caD47220540C5) is an onchain pool. The former baseswap.fi website showed a parked domain page at this review and is no longer listed here as a trading destination. Use the in-app swap or a compatible aggregator.
* [**KyberSwap**](https://kyberswap.com/swap/base/eth-to-0x546d239032b24eceee0cb05c92fc39090846adc7): aggregated routing
* **Coinbase Wallet (formerly Base App)**: search SEED on Base and swap natively
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Check transfer-tax compatibility.** SEED charges tax on qualifying trades. The in-app swap supports this behavior. Uniswap V3 does not support fee-on-transfer tokens, but that is not a blanket statement about every Uniswap version or route. Check an external venue’s current support and minimum received before trading.
{% endhint %}
## If you're swapping manually
Do not add 5% again if an external quote already includes the token tax. Check whether the displayed output is gross or net, then review minimum received and price impact. The in-app swap accounts for the configured 5% SEED tax and a separate 0.75% market-slippage allowance; a changing quote or unsupported route can still require a retry.

# LEAF Token
LEAF is a transferable progression token earned through staking and other rewards, spent on upgrades, and traded in the in-game marketplace.
**LEAF is what patience mints.** It exists for exactly one purpose: turning long-term SEED commitment into land development. Its primary role is game progression; its price and market behavior are not guaranteed.
| | |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Contract (Base)** | `0xE78ee52349D7b031E2A6633E07c037C3147DB116` |
| **How it's earned** | [Staking SEED](/tokens/staking): \~3.33 LEAF per SEED per day |
| **Also from** | [Quests](/game-mechanics/lands/farmer-quests) (5,000 to 50,000), [SpinLeaf](/game-mechanics/arcade) (50,000 jackpot), events and airdrops |
| **What it buys** | Village and Town upgrades; listed LEAF costs range from 400K to 18M, depending on building and level |
| **External listing** | External listings are not controlled or guaranteed by the game |
| **Trading** | Player-to-player in the in-game Marketplace; ERC-20 transfers are also supported |
| When spent on LEAF building upgrades | **100% burned** |
## Why LEAF exists
LEAF is the resource used for timed building upgrades. You can earn it through staking and selected rewards, or obtain it through transfers and trades.
1. **Stake SEED** and LEAF accrues in real time (no lock-up, unstake whenever).
2. **Spend LEAF** on buildings and it's burned, permanently.
3. **Buildings produce** PTS and TOD for your plants, which grow your [ETH share](/game-mechanics/rewards-p2e-model).
Staking issues LEAF and construction burns it. You can buy or sell LEAF through the [Marketplace](/game-mechanics/lands/marketplace), where prices are set by player orders. LEAF transfers are not restricted to the game.
{% hint style="info" %}
LEAF costs can be large: check both the token amount and the time needed to earn it at your current stake. The staking dialog shows your estimated daily rate; marketplace orders provide a separate way to obtain LEAF.
{% endhint %}
# Staking
Stake SEED to earn LEAF continuously. No lock-ups, claim anytime, unstake anytime. Rates, flow, and strategy.
Staking is Pixotchi's patience engine: lock nothing, commit everything. Deposit SEED, watch LEAF accrue by the second, and withdraw whenever you like.
Approve once, then stake, claim, and unstake freely
SEED |
| **You earn** | **\~3.33 LEAF per SEED per day**, accruing in real time |
| **Lock-up** | None. Unstake any amount, anytime |
| **Claiming** | Anytime, no penalty |
| **Where** | The **Stake** button in the header, the Stake House on your land, or [stake.pixotchi.tech](https://stake.pixotchi.tech) |
| **Currently staked (game-wide)** | \~3.32M SEED at 12 September 2026 (about 17.5% of totalSupply) |
The rate is a live onchain setting (checked 12 September 2026); the dialog always shows the current ratio and your projected daily earnings.
## How to stake
1. Tap **Stake** in the header.
2. If prompted, approve enough SEED for the amount you want to stake. Approval can be required again if its allowance is insufficient, reduced, or revoked.
3. Enter an amount, tap **Stake**. Done: LEAF starts accruing immediately.
4. Return anytime to **Claim** rewards or **Unstake**.
Staking and claiming both count toward daily missions, two of the easiest Rocks on the board.
## Staking without the game
Not everyone holding SEED wants to run a farm. [**stake.pixotchi.tech**](https://stake.pixotchi.tech) is a standalone staking app that does exactly one job: connect, stake SEED, watch LEAF accrue, claim, unstake.
* **Same contract, same position.** It reads and writes the same onchain staking contract as the game, so your stake, your accrued LEAF, and your place on the Stakers leaderboard are identical on both. Stake in the app, claim on the website, and nothing changes.
* **Check the wallet address.** The staking site and game can access the same onchain position when connected to the same Base address. The same email or login provider alone does not prove that two apps use the same wallet.
* **Nothing else to learn.** Useful if you are managing a large position from a desktop, or you simply want the numbers without the farm around them.
Everything else stays in the [game](https://mini.pixotchi.tech): items, buildings, quests, and the rest. Daily missions are tracked by the game app, so if you are chasing the **Stake SEED** or **Claim stake rewards** Rocks, do those from the app.
## Why stake? The strategic view
Timed building upgrades use LEAF. You can earn it by staking or eligible rewards, or obtain it from other players; supported instant upgrades use PIXOTCHI.
* **Spender path:** buy items with SEED forever (70% burned each time; generous to the economy, pricey for you).
* **Staking path:** deposit SEED to accrue LEAF, then use that LEAF for development. Unstaking returns the token amount withdrawn; the SEED market price and the value of rewards are not guaranteed.
Staking can support your farming plans without repeatedly purchasing LEAF. Compare the displayed rate, upgrade requirements, and your intended use before choosing an amount.
{% hint style="info" %}
Rewards scale with the pool: the emission rate is per staked SEED, set onchain, and adjustable as the economy evolves. The app always shows live numbers before you commit.
{% endhint %}
# PIXOTCHI Token
PIXOTCHI’s creator-coin role, current game utilities, token supply, and the distinction between onchain burns and discretionary ecosystem funding.
**PIXOTCHI** is the ecosystem's third token: a creator coin launched through the [Zora](https://zora.co) framework, adapted from social speculation into genuine game utility. Where SEED is the money and LEAF is the grind, PIXOTCHI is the *convenience and expansion* layer.
| | |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Contract (Base)** | `0xA2EF17bb7Eea1143196678337069dFa24D37d2ac` |
| **Total supply** | 1,000,000,000, fixed (verified onchain) |
| **Distribution** | Zora’s documented creator-coin model: 50% open market and 50% creator allocation vested linearly over five years. Check this token’s allocation contracts for its specific vesting dates. |
| **Venue** | Zora creator-coin markets |
| **Fee flywheel** | Creator-fee revenue may be used for ecosystem funding and SEED buybacks; this is an operational policy, not an automatic guarantee of token returns |
## What PIXOTCHI does in the game today
Implemented utilities are listed below. Availability depends on app flags, contract settings, and the selected feature. Costs are rounded snapshots; review the app’s current quote.
| Utility | Cost | Burned? |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| **Instant building upgrades** | Village: \~1,500–35,000 per level; Town costs differ | **Yes** |
| **Casino chips** | 25,000 to 150,000 per game (30,000 to 75,000 in Blackjack) | No |
| **Troop training** ([Barracks](/game-mechanics/lands/barracks-and-raids)) | 2,000 / 500 per troop | **Yes** |
| **Batch Claim fee** (150 buildings per tap) | Configured in the app; review the fee per batch | **Yes** |
| **Batch Quests fee** (100 farmers per tap) | Configured in the app; charged once per run | **Yes** |
| **Casino construction** | 500,000 one-time | No |
The pattern: PIXOTCHI buys *time and scale*, exactly the things power players value, and most of its sinks (speed-ups, troops, batch fees) burn supply outright. Verified onchain: the speed-up payment receiver is the dead address.
## Why it exists
The creator coin provides a separate token for convenience features, campaigns, and ecosystem funding. Distributions and buybacks require their own records; holding PIXOTCHI does not create a guaranteed claim on SEED buybacks or revenue.
## The token trinity, complete
* **SEED**: the economy. Fair-launched, taxed for [rewards](/game-mechanics/rewards-p2e-model), burned by play.
* **LEAF**: the progression. Earned by [staking](/tokens/staking), burned by [building](/game-mechanics/lands/buildings-and-production).
* **PIXOTCHI**: the accelerant. Traded on Zora, spent on power features, burned by armies and batch fees.
The tokens have different primary roles, with some overlap in payments such as casino bets. Their prices and demand can change independently.
{% hint style="warning" %}
PIXOTCHI is a volatile creator-coin market asset. Utility described here is current and real, but nothing on this page is financial advice, and future features can evolve with the game.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}

## Architecture, briefly
**Plants: a dynamic router (ERC-7504).** The current Plant address delegates functions to extensions for game logic, the shop, arcade games, fences, and other features. Upgrades can change behavior at the same address. The deprecated V1 contract is separate; do not assume a V1 asset was automatically migrated.
**Lands: a diamond (EIP-2535).** Multiple facets implement NFT, Village, Town, Warehouse, Marketplace, Quest, Barracks, and casino functions at one shared contract address. Authorized diamond upgrades can replace or add those functions.
**Why upgradeable?** The Plant and Land systems can be updated through their administrative mechanisms. Prices, rates, and rewards can change. See [Trust & Security](/trust-and-security) for the trade-offs and [Economy Overview](/tokens/economy-overview) for a dated numeric snapshot.
**Onchain state, with service dependencies.** Plants, lands, buildings, warehouse resources, and reward accounting are stored or settled in these contracts. The app also depends on RPC and indexing services; missions, chat, notifications, AI, and Blackjack signing have offchain components.

# FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Pixotchi: dying plants, rewards, taxes, wallets, and everything players ask most.
### Do I need crypto experience to play?
No. Sign in with just an email (a secure wallet is created for you), and the in-app tutorial plus the Neural Seed AI walk you through everything. When you're comfortable, you can export that wallet or connect any other.
### How much does it cost to start?
SEED-priced strains range from **10–40 SEED** in the checked configuration; TYJ uses JESSE. The ETH or fiat cost changes with token prices. Budget separately for care items and any gas shown by your wallet. Free-claim campaigns and sponsorship are available only when enabled and eligible.
### My plant is going to die while I sleep. What do I do?
Buy TOD time: **Water** (+12h), **Pollinator** (+26h), or **Moonlight** (+75h) for trips. See Care Items. Long-term, a Bee Farm drips daily lifetime, and notifications warn you when any plant dips under 12 hours.
### My plant died. Is everything lost?
Not yet. **Revive it for 5 SEED**: it returns with a fresh 24-hour timer and **all its PTS intact**. But hurry: dead plants can be **burned by other players** (one kill per wallet per hour). If that happens, the plant is gone forever, though your accrued ETH is automatically paid out to you. Death never confiscates rewards.
### How do I actually earn ETH?
Your plant's **PTS** entitle it to a share of the ETH pool, funded by 2% of all SEED trading volume. It accrues continuously; claim it anytime, but **claiming resets that plant's PTS to zero**. Full mechanics in ETH Rewards.
### Someone attacked me! Can they kill my plant?
No. Attacks only move **points**: a successful attacker takes 0.5% of your PTS. Nobody can reduce your TOD or hurt your plant's health. If attacks annoy you, a Fence (50 SEED per day) blocks them completely.
### Why is there a 5% tax on SEED trades?
Taxable trades currently allocate 2% to revenue sharing, 2% to the team, and 1% to liquidity. Ordinary wallet transfers are untaxed. Use a route that supports SEED’s transfer tax and review the net output; see [How to Get SEED](/tokens/seed-token/how-to-buy).
### What's the difference between SEED, LEAF, and PIXOTCHI?
**SEED** pays for many plant actions and staking. **LEAF** is a transferable resource earned from staking and other rewards and burned by LEAF building upgrades. **PIXOTCHI** pays for convenience and advanced features. Some casino games accept all three.
### Is buying a Land worth it?
A Land unlocks buildings and supported utility features. Its usefulness depends on your budget, upgrade plans, and collection routine; it does not guarantee that production or rewards will repay the purchase price.
### Can I play from a Solana wallet?
Solana access is available only when the bridge is enabled. If Continue with Solana is absent, use an EVM option. The bridge supports selected plant actions, rather than the full Land and game feature set; see [Wallets & Sign-In](/getting-started/wallets-and-sign-in).
### Can I stake without playing the game?
Yes. The standalone [staking app](https://stake.pixotchi.tech) accesses the staking contract. Connect the **same Base wallet address** to use the same position; matching email addresses alone do not establish wallet identity. For task credit, stake and claim through the game app.
### Is Pixotchi safe? Where's the proof?
The linked audit covers the SEED token, not the entire game. Core gameplay settles on Base, but upgrades, administrator settings, offchain services, and funding dependencies still matter. Read [Trust & Security](/trust-and-security) and verify addresses before interacting.
### Is this financial advice? Will SEED go up?
No, and nobody knows. Pixotchi is a game; its tokens are game assets with real market risk. Play for fun, never with money you can't afford to lose, and mind your local regulations.
### The app is not loading, or a transaction is stuck. Is it me?
Check [status.pixotchi.tech](https://status.pixotchi.tech) first. It reports live health for the app, the staking app, the RPC cluster, the indexer, the database, notifications, the Farcaster Mini App, and Base itself, so you can tell a network problem from a local one in a few seconds. If everything reads operational, try a hard refresh, then ask in the community chat.
### I have a question that isn't here.
Ask Neural Seed in-app (it knows your account), drop into the community chat, or reach the team via the official links.

**My transaction succeeded, but task progress is queued.** The game is retrying its offchain mission update. Check the transaction result and Tasks panel; do not repeat a payment solely because task credit has not appeared yet.

# Glossary
Every Pixotchi term in one place, from PTS and TOD to Twins, Rocks, and the token trinity.
Quick definitions for every term you'll meet in the game and these docs.
## Core stats
| Term | Meaning |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PTS (Points)** | A plant's score. Sets leaderboard rank *and* its share of the ETH rewards pool. Reset to zero when rewards are claimed. |
| **TOD (Time of Death)** | A plant's countdown timer. At zero, the plant dies. Extended by items, buildings, arcade wins, and quests. |
| **Level** | Derived from PTS; gates attack eligibility and evolves the artwork (23 stages). |
| **Stars** | Currency earned by burning dead plants; spent on arcade plays. |
| **XP** | A land's lifetime activity score, earned by upgrades, trades, quests, claims, and raids. |
| **Rocks** | Daily-mission points, up to 100 per day; ranked on the all-time Rocks board. |
| **Streak** | Consecutive UTC days with activity. Miss a day, back to zero (your best is remembered). |
## Tokens & rewards
| Term | Meaning |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **SEED** | The core ERC-20 currency: 20M initial supply, supply-reducing burns, and configurable buy/sell fees capped at 5% per side. |
| **LEAF** | A transferable ERC-20 used for progression: earned through staking and other rewards, burned by LEAF building upgrades, and traded in the in-game Marketplace. |
| **PIXOTCHI** | The Zora creator coin used for speed-ups, casino, troops, and batch fees. 1B totalSupply at the September 2026 snapshot; dead-address balances remain included. |
