Pixies and Their Unique Genes

In the PixieLand ecosystem, a series of NFTs featuring a cute creature known as a Pixie takes center stage. Each Pixie NFT contains a unique 256-bit number string, known as the Pixie’s gene, which determines the final image of the Pixie, including body parts, clothing, and color schemes. With 99 different designs for each body part, the range of combinations is vast (~250,000,000,000).

For each category of Pixie body parts, some items are rarer than others. For example, among the horns, the first model with the number 01 is extremely rare, and only 0.01% of Pixies may be born with this type of horn. The same rule applies to other components. However, if at least one parent of the newly born Pixie has a rare component in their genes, the chance of the offspring inheriting it increases.

The responsibility for determining the genes of each Pixie lies with the GenBuilder smart contract, whose address you will find in the smart contracts section. This smart contract identifies the various components and genes of the newly born Pixie based on the genes of the parents and their rarity coefficients. 

The Pixie gene is structured such that the first few digits on the right represent the Pixie’s ID or number, and the two or three digits on the left represent the body parts, clothing, and color scheme. Each Pixie is assigned a numerical ID starting from 1, and for each new Pixie, this number increases by 1, ensuring that no two Pixies have identical genes.

In addition to the fixed features present in the Pixie gene, each Pixie possesses acquired properties that change with various activities. These variable features and properties are stored in the Pixie smart contract on the TON blockchain.

Currently, the smart contract for each Pixie includes four numerical variables speed, power, technical skill, and level. Except level, other variables for newly born Pixies are equal to the average of their parents’ values, while first-generation Pixies have a fixed value of 100.

Rules for the Pixie Merging and Leveling System

The following rules govern the leveling up of Pixies:

• When two Pixies are merged, the one with the lower level is removed from the game, and the level of the second Pixie is increased to the sum of the levels of the two merged Pixies.
• If two Pixies with different levels are merged, the lower-level Pixie will be removed. However, if two Pixies with equal levels are merged, the user can choose which Pixie to level up and which one to remove.
• Only Pixies belonging to the same user (account) can be merged.
• The ownership of the Pixie used to level up another Pixie is transferred to a smart contract called the Pixie Graveyard, and its level is reset to zero. In this way, the Pixie is removed from the PixieLand ecosystem and can no longer be used.
• The level of a Pixie is important for various aspects, including the number of Pixies it can give birth to at each breeding and the share it receives from the prize pool.

Rules for Pixies Breeding

Male and female Pixies can breed and give birth to a new Pixie. The breeding process follows these rules:

• A male Pixie and a female Pixie, both of which are ready to breed, must submit a request for the breeding and birth of a new Pixie.
• Pixies cannot be bred with their children and Pixies cannot breed with their siblings.
• Pixies are ready to breed one day (24 hours) after birth, but after each breeding, they must wait twice the preceding duration before they are ready again.
• The Pixie’s level affects the number of offspring that can be born in each breeding. The number of offspring in each breeding equals the lower level of the two parents. For example, if a female Pixie is Level 1 and a male Pixie is Level 3, they can produce one offspring. If a female Pixie is Level 5 and a male Pixie is Level 3, they can produce three offspring.

Rules for Buying and Selling Pixies

The rules and regulations regarding buying and selling in the Pixie Marketplace are as follows:

• Users can set any price they wish for selling their Pixie, provided it is not lower than the minimum price specified in the smart contract.
• Prices are in PIXIC tokens, and transactions are conducted using this token. Users who wish to purchase a new Pixie can either earn the necessary points through tasks, competitions, and challenges that are completely free or they can buy PIXIC tokens by converting TON and other cryptocurrencies.
• When a user sells a Pixie, the proceeds are distributed as follows:

35%	To the Pixie owner
40%	To a pool for rewards and various prizes distributed among Pixies
10%	To the government fund of the land
8%	To those who have staked game tokens (proportional to the amount staked)
4%	To the game developer
3%	To the reserve fund, which is controlled by the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)

Rules for Contributing to Charity

• By purchasing a Pixie and sending it to the Pixie Cemetery, you can donate to charities that care for pets in need.
•  Newly born Pixies cannot be used for this purpose.
•  You must declare your intention to use the Pixie to donate to a charity helping pets in need before purchasing a Pixie from the marketplace.
•  All of the profit is transferred directly into a fund without any deductions; the profit is later distributed among animal welfare charities as determined by the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

Rules for the Interconnected Lands of PixieLand

PixieLand consists of several interconnected lands, each of which is represented by an NFT. The owner of the land NFT can manage the land by setting rules and regulations. To generate income, the landowner should strategize to attract more Pixies to their land.

The rules and regulations concerning lands in the PixieLand ecosystem are stipulated below:

• Each land is issued as an NFT, and the NFT owner is the landowner. Ownership of the land is transferred when the NFT is transferred to another account.
• 10% of all transactions conducted in the marketplace by Pixies are deposited into a reserve fund for the land where Pixie is a member.
• The landowner has control over how the reserve fund is used. They can withdraw some or all of the funds for personal use or distribute the funds among the members of the land according to pre-established rules. The owner’s strategy in managing the reserve fund directly affects the attraction of Pixies and active members.
• The landowner or any other individual can request the holdings of the reserve funds be distributed at any time by pre-established rules and terms. The transaction fee is borne by the individual requesting the distribution.
• The landowner may set an entry fee and allow only those Pixies who pay the fee to join the land.
• Pixies must choose their land before being born. After they are born, they can migrate to another land at any time.
• Every 10,000 blocks (approximately every 30 days) on the blockchain, the landowner has 1,000 blocks (approximately 3 days) during which they are allowed to make changes to the land’s rules. During this period, the owner has one opportunity to change the conditions and rules of the land. Once this period ends or changes are made, the owner cannot alter the rules again for the next 10,000 blocks on the network.
• Anyone can become the owner of a land by paying 120% of the last sale price for a land. Upon sale, the previous owner receives an amount equal to the last sale price plus 5%, while 5% and 10% of the remaining 15% go to the game development team and the prize fund, respectively. For example, if Player 1 buys a land for 100 Pixie coins (PIXIC), Player 2 can purchase it for 120 PIXIC. In this case, 105 PIXIC go to the previous owner (Player 1), 5 PIXIC go to the development team, and 10 PIXIC go to the prize fund. This cycle repeats with each subsequent purchase.
• Initially, there will be 10 land NFTs that are controlled by the game development team and are available for purchase by interested parties. Creating new lands is only possible with DAO approval, and if the DAO decides to create a new land, the proceeds from its sale are deposited into a reserve fund managed by the DAO.

Rules for the Pixie Album Challenge

Challenge Name: Pixie Album
Awards Treasure Allocation: 20% from all Pixie Marketplace transactions
General Description: In this challenge, there are three album levels with different difficulties: easy, medium, and hard. In each album, users are asked to place Pixies with specified characteristics to earn the prize of that album.

Rules of the Challenge:

• There are three album levels with different difficulties as follows:
• Easy Level: This album has three slots. The first slot requires a specific type of body from the available Pixies, the second slot requires a specific type of horn, and the third slot requires a specific type of snout. To fill each of these slots, you must have a Pixie with the specified type of body, horn, or snout.

1. Medium Level: Similar to the easy level, however, this level has two designated slots and for each slot, two types of body parts of the Pixies are specified.

1. Hard Level: In this level, as in the previous albums, you must fill the album’s empty slot with a Pixie with the specified characteristics. The difference is that there is only one slot and three body parts are specified, you must have a Pixie with the specified characteristics to fill this slot.

• The total share of this competition from the prize pool is divided among the three album levels with a ratio of 40% for the easy level and 30% each for the medium and hard levels.
• Each time a user completes an album, they receive the prize for that album, and the smart contract for this competition defines a new album for that level, with its prize starting from zero and increasing according to the share of this competition from the total prize pool.
• Until an album is completed by one of the users, the prize for that album will increase based on the share of this competition from the total prize pool.
• Each Pixie can only occupy one slot.
• All Pixies must belong to a single user.

Earning Points through Free challenges, Tasks, and the Referral Program

Users can earn points by participating in free competitions and challenges, completing the various tasks outlined in the “Tasks” section, and referring friends to PixieLand. Moreover, each user’s share of PIXIC token airdrops during each period is determined according to the ratio of points earned by the user to the total points earned by all users. It is important to note that these points have no other legal value.

– All sections designed for earning points and rewarding users are centralized (off-chain) and are intended solely as a promotional program to encourage user participation in the ecosystem. These sections are not connected to the main PixieLand game, which is entirely decentralized.

– As mentioned in the whitepaper for this project, 15% of PIXIC tokens are allocated for advertising and marketing, as well as rewarding active ecosystem users. The rewards for the free challenges and competitions, tasks, and the referral program will be drawn from this token reserve.

– Currently, points can be earned through the following three methods:

  1. Participating in Free Challenges and Competitions: This section offers two challenges: “Cryptocurrency Price Prediction” and “Quiz Challenge.”

     1.1. Cryptocurrency Price Prediction Challenge: For this challenge, you must correctly predict whether the price of a certain cryptocurrency will increase (“Up” button) or decrease (“Down” button) compared to the last recorded price in the previous one-minute interval. You must make your choices before the start of the next interval. The base price for each interval is the last recorded price of the previous interval. Once you predict the next interval, you cannot change it. You earn 1 point for each correct prediction. Participation in this challenge is free, and incorrect predictions do not result in negative points.

     1.2. Quiz Challenge: For this challenge, you will first be presented with a piece of writing on topics such as PixieLand project details, blockchain, or the Web3 world. Following this, you will see two multiple-choice questions. If you select the correct option for both questions, you will earn 35 points. An individual can participate in this challenge once every 24 hours. Participation is free, and wrong answers do not result in negative points.

  2. Completing Tasks: There are various tasks that can be completed to earn points. Some tasks can only be completed once, while others may be completed daily. Examples of current tasks include joining the PixieLand Telegram channel and following the PixieLand profile on Instagram.

  3. Inviting Friends: For this section, you receive 10% of all the points earned by any individuals you have invited to the PixieLand ecosystem as a reward. New players must register using an invitation link that includes your invitation code. Points earned through friend invitations contribute to your total score and are also used to rank top participants in the referral section. In addition to rewards for those who accumulate the most points overall, exclusive and valuable prizes are set aside for top performers in the referral program.

Rules for the Airdrop

• The Pixie project is launching with an airdrop, allowing users to join its ecosystem and earn PIXIC tokens at no cost.
• During the initial phase, participants can engage in various activities to earn points, which will determine their share of the airdrop.
• The distribution of PIXIC tokens will be proportional to the points earned by each user relative to the total points accumulated by all participants.
• With an estimated value between $10,000 and $50,000, the airdrop is scheduled for December 2024, before the project’s second phase begins. The exact date will be announced later.

Referral Program Guidelines

• Earn 10% of all the points earned by any user you have referred to PixieLand.
• The top 50 referrers will receive a share of 114 TON and eight first-generation Pixie NFTs.
• Points earned through referrals will be combined with your points earned from other activities, boosting your share of the PIXIC token airdrop and improving your ranking on the main leaderboard.
• Using bots or fraudulent methods to recruit new users will result in disqualification and a loss of points.
