In January 2024, the Philippines emerged as the leading nation in player engagement with the web3 game Pixels, which recently executed a substantial airdrop targeting its players as well as stakers in the Ronin blockchain.

Background
- The final airdrop campaign of web3 game Pixels Online benefitted the players and users who are validating or staking in the Ronin blockchain, as mentioned above.
- The airdrop was not limited to $RON stakers alone but also primarily to participants of Pixels’ Season play-to-airdrop campaigns, thereby widening the scope of its beneficiaries.
(Note that the game is PIxels and the coin is $PIXEL.)
Are Filipinos Playing Pixels
Guilds and many in the community are playing Pixels or atleast have farmed the coin because of the Binance listing.
Specifically with the RON stakers however, a graphic was shared by Luke Barwikowski, the founder of Pixels, indicating the increase in the number of users in the Philippines, due to the number of Ron stakers logging into the Pixels website to claim their airdrops.
Who is playing Pixels?
Guilds such as YGG
Yield Guild Games (YGG), a Filipino-led guild specializing in web3 gaming, has been instrumental in promoting Pixels through its Guild Advancement Program (GAP).
- Introduced in August 2023, GAP rewards players and local guilds for completing game-related quests.
- Despite the Season 2 airdrop announcement coming in early 2024, Pixels saw a higher participation rate in GAP Season 3, with its quests ranking among the most popular.
- Note that at that time, the Pixels airdrop was not yet announced or confirmed.
Among the YGG community that paldo’ed includes its community onboarding specialist Tito A, who shared on X that his $PIXEL earned will be used “to buy some pares and ramen.”
JB, on the other hand, expressed the suspense he felt when it took him more than eight hours to withdraw his $PIXEL rewards from Airdrop Season 2. JB’s NFT X-Street recently established a gaming hub in Quezon City that will allow players to access web3 games, including Pixels.
Meanwhile, YGG’s community lead, Spraky, flexed his almost 2,000 $PIXEL rewards. For context, that amount of reward is given to those who staked about 600 $RON. Well, Spraky’s famous line “Kumain ka na ba?” should be changed to “Pumaldo ka na ba?”
Even Dizon himself shared that the $PIXEL airdrop is not just for the best players, but even for the whole family that plays the game.
Broader Web3 Community
The $PIXEL airdrop has proven beneficial not only to web3 influencers and top players but also to the broader #CryptoPH community.
Many have shared their experiences and rewards from the airdrop, ranging from upgrading daily meals to celebrating significant earnings.
Some BitPinas commenters also obtained $PIXEL, probably from either staking $RON or joing Pixels’ play-to-airdrop program.
Meanwhile, Facebook user Emerlyn Bequio shared in the CryptoBasurero group that she earned 145.25 $PIXEL by playing the game.
Ramos Nomer earned more than 5,000 PIXEL:
Will There Be Another Airdrop?
RON stakers will receive the second half of the PIXEL airdrop at some point in the future.
