_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 ](https://pixelverse.xyz/)**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](https://storychain.ai/)**, blends gaming with collaborative creativity. **[Hosted on Farcaster,](https://farcaster.xyz/)** 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](https://www.base.org/)** 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](https://pixelverse.xyz/)** 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,](https://farcaster.xyz/)** they power social engagement and discovery. The $PIXFI token, launching on Base, will unify gameplay, rewards, and trading activity across both networks.
