According to Decrypt, Pixels browser game founder Luke Barwikowski has warned fans to be cautious of scammers ahead of the PIXEL token launch. Barwikowski stated on Twitter that the launch will not be a surprise and that players will have at least three days' advance notice. This will allow those with Ronin's RON token staked to unstake or unlock their tokens. Crypto scams have been a persistent issue across social media platforms, with bot commenters spamming fake airdrops and gold checkmark accounts impersonating brands. Barwikowski aims to ensure that Pixels players are aware of the difference between genuine announcements and potential scams. Pixels will have two in-game currencies: BERRY and PIXEL. BERRY, the primary cryptocurrency, is already live on the Ronin blockchain, while PIXEL, the premium currency, has not yet been launched. PIXEL can be used in-game to mint new land NFTs, accelerate build times, boost character energy, unlock experience, crafting recipes, pets, and character skins, according to the game's whitepaper. BERRY, on the other hand, is a soft currency that can be earned by selling in-game resources and used to purchase some in-game items.

According to Decrypt, gaming-centric tokens RON and BEAM are experiencing significant gains as the crypto market continues to rise. RON, the token of gaming-focused Ethereum sidechain network Ronin, has increased by 21% in the last 24 hours to a current price of $1.75. This surge in value has led to a 67% weekly gain and a 197% jump in the last 30 days. Ronin's growth is largely attributed to the rising adoption of Pixels, a popular blockchain game that recently migrated to the network from Polygon. Additionally, Axie Infinity, the monster-battling game that originally launched the network, has seen increased momentum amid the improving crypto market. BEAM, the Ethereum-based token of Merit Circle's Beam gaming network, has also experienced growth. On Wednesday, Merit Circle announced plans to integrate the upcoming Immutable zkEVM network into the Beam ecosystem. Following the announcement, BEAM reached a new all-time high price of just above $0.017. The token has since settled to a current price of approximately $0.0162, marking a 6% increase on the day, a 78% gain over the past week, and a 238% rise in the last month. Other gaming tokens, such as Immutable's IMX and Gala Games' GALA, have also seen gains in recent days. As the crypto market continues to grow, gaming tokens like RON and BEAM are likely to benefit from increased interest and adoption.
