London — Pixelverse, the Web3 gaming startup that scaled to 27 million monthly active users through Telegram tap-to-earn mini-games, is entering its next chapter. The company today announced Pixelverse Arcade, a social gaming hub built on Base and Farcaster, designed to bring deeper onchain progression, collectibles, and ties to meme-native communities.
A New Kind of Arcade
Pixelverse Arcade introduces a unified player profile across all Pixelverse titles, where every action in any game contributes to a seasonal Battle Pass. Rewards, items, and achievements are logged onchain, giving players both persistent progression and real ownership of their digital collectibles.
The first release, Storychain, blends gaming with collaborative creativity. Hosted on Farcaster, the game turns threads into living stories: Pixelverse’s AI agent sets the rules, players contribute short replies to advance the plot, and when the chain ends, the entire narrative is minted on Base as an NFT that credits all contributors.

Stories are grouped into themed collections tied to Pixelverse’s meme partners, with leaderboards and $PIXFI rewards driving participation.
“Storychain takes everyday conversation and turns it into both a game and an onchain asset. It’s the first step toward a category of games only possible on open networks like Base and Farcaster.”
Kori Leon, Co-founder of Pixelverse
From Telegram to Web3-Native
Pixelverse built its early momentum on casual Telegram mini-games, amassing tens of millions of users at the height of tap-to-earn’s popularity. But as the ecosystem matured, so did its community. The expansion to Base and Farcaster reflects a shift toward Web3-native players who value ownership, composability, and meme-driven culture.
Pixelverse is already partnering with leading Base meme projects including Toshi, Ski Mask Dog, Mr. Mingles, and Brett. On Base, these partnerships translate into collectibles and seasonal rewards; on Farcaster, they power social engagement and discovery. The $PIXFI token, launching on Base, will unify gameplay, rewards, and trading activity across both networks.
