# Trust & Security

Pixotchi’s token audit, onchain state, upgrade permissions, offchain services, and official verification links.

Pixotchi’s assets and core gameplay settle in smart contracts on Base. Public state and transaction records help you inspect the system, but do not remove contract, administrator, service, or market risks.

## The receipts

* **Onchain settlement.** Core game actions and asset transfers settle on Base. Some contracts are upgradeable or configurable, and some actions depend on offchain services.
* **Audited token.** SEED's contract was audited by [BlockSAFU](https://blocksafu.com/audit/0x546D239032b24eCEEE0cb05c92FC39090846adc7).
* **Supply history.** SEED’s constructor minted 20 million tokens at deployment on 1 February 2024. Its transfer history records subsequent distribution and burns.
* **Onchain rewards math.** The game accounts for ETH rewards using plant PTS. Administrators and upgrades remain relevant to the system; public visibility is not a guarantee of immutable behavior.
* **Deployment history.** SEED’s current contract dates to February 2024. Individual game extensions and services have their own deployment and upgrade histories.
* **Public pulse.** [status.pixotchi.tech](https://status.pixotchi.tech) reports live health and latency for all eight moving parts: the app, the [staking app](https://stake.pixotchi.tech), the RPC cluster, the indexer, the database, notifications, the Farcaster Mini App, and Base mainnet. A public [Dune dashboard](https://dune.com/pixotchi/dashboard) tracks ecosystem analytics.

## Honest disclosures

The main permissions and service dependencies to understand are:

* **Settings can change.** The app reads current values where supported; these docs contain dated snapshots. Administrators can change prices, production rates, reward ranges, and other permitted settings.
* **Contracts are upgradeable.** The Plant and Land systems use modular upgradeable architectures (details) so features ship without asset migrations. Upgrades are visible onchain the moment they happen.
* **Offchain dependencies.** Chat, notifications, missions, and Neural Seed use server infrastructure. Blackjack also relies on server-signed randomness; casino payouts depend on funding and approvals. Token ownership and final settlement are onchain.
* **The AI can't touch your wallet.** Neural Seed is architecturally read-only. It cannot sign, send, or prepare transactions.

## Protect yourself

{% hint style="danger" %}
**The only official app is** [**mini.pixotchi.tech**](https://mini.pixotchi.tech) (and "Pixotchi Mini" inside Coinbase Wallet (formerly Base App) / Farcaster). The team will **never** DM you first, never ask for your seed phrase, and never ask you to "validate" or "sync" your wallet. Every official link lives on the Links page. Bookmark it.
{% endhint %}

* Verify contract addresses against the Contracts page before interacting manually.
* Use a SEED route that supports its transfer tax. See [How to Get SEED](/tokens/seed-token/how-to-buy.md) for quote and compatibility checks.
* Found a vulnerability? Report it responsibly through the official channels, with minimal public details please.

## The philosophy

Pixotchi is an independent, long-term project. No seasonal cash-grab, no VC exit timeline. The bet is simple: build a genuinely fun game with a genuinely honest economy, in public, for years. Everything above exists so you don't have to take that on faith.

{% hint style="info" %}
The linked BlockSAFU report covers the **SEED token** and was released on 1 February 2024. It is not an audit of every current Plant or Land extension, casino, server, or frontend. Reviewing these docs is also not a security certification.
