Hey, Pixels 🙂

The official AMA will take place on November 12 at 19:00 Moscow time!

For the English-speaking audience, a recording with translation will be made available!

And now, get ready! There are going to be a lot of updates ahead! 😈

We are aware of the mining issues on the Songbird network 👷‍♂️

We will inform you as soon as the issue is resolved!

We apologize for the inconvenience! 🙏

Fixed 👷‍♂️💪

Hey, Pixels! 👋

We know we don’t post updates very often, but all this time we’ve been passionately putting together the pre-final iteration of Clans!
Right now, we’re working on Workers and production buildings 🏴

And we’re also cooking up something special for you for the New Year 🎄
Coming very soon!

Patch 2.0: Factories are live! 🚀

Hello, landowners! Remember how last time we promised you a powerful continuation — the processing phase? The time has come! 🚩

Back then you became landlords and mastered mining. Now your syndicate is ready for the next step — building an industrial chain where PXL goes in and a liquid token comes out! 💴

WHAT’S NEW: 5 PROCESSING FACTORIES 👀

You can now build 5 types of processing buildings. Their purpose is to convert mined PXL into a liquid token.

How does it work?

1️⃣ Build a factory — you’ll need resources from your mines. Construction is instant and available in any biome.
2️⃣ Hire a worker — the factory won’t start without one! Workers (25 types!) can be crafted in the forge.
3️⃣ Feed the worker — each production cycle requires xeno-paste. No food = no production.
4️⃣ Upgrade — as the level grows, the factory becomes more powerful but takes more tiles and requires resources from higher-level biomes.

Simple flow:

PXL → Biome resources → Native token 💎

KEY ELEMENT: WORKERS ⚒

🟪 25 types — each with its own stats.
🟪 Crafted in the forge — obtain them to launch production.
🟪 Mandatory: Worker + Xeno-paste = running factory ✅

FACTORY UPGRADES 📈

Level affects everything:
Levels 1–25 — Biome 1, 1 tile
Levels 26–50 — Biome 2, 2 tiles
… and so on up to level 150 and Biome 6 🏔

Upgrades are done using mined resources.

HOW DOES THIS CONNECT TO THE PREVIOUS PHASE? 👀

✅ You already own land (as NFT or rented).
✅ Your syndicate is already mining resources.
✅ Now you build factories and create finished products, increasing your syndicate’s profits!

This is the next step toward full control over the Pixel Lands economy. Build, optimize, find the best workers, and turn your holdings into an industrial powerhouse!

Ready to start the production line? Jump into the game! 🔥

Dear ☺️ community,

Thank you for your vigilance! 🙏
We're aware of the 🤖SKALE network situation and are already working on it.

We'll share more information soon!

Fixed 🤖✅

Hey Pixels! 👋

We understand your impatience — the team is going through tough times too. GameFi and the entire crypto market are in deep crisis, and 🙂Hello Pixel is no exception.

Right now the project stands at a crossroads of three paths, one of which we absolutely don't want to take.

The second one is quite promising, exciting, and breathes new life into our beloved project!
Negotiations are currently underway. We need a bit more time.
We'll definitely share all the details as soon as we can!

Thank you to everyone staying with us and believing in Pixels! 🙏

Dear pixels! 👍
A short technical maintenance was carried out on the SKALE network🤖.

😈 The mystery box on the Songbird network is now working again!

Everything is back to normal — feel free to keep opening. 🔥

🔗 Integration with [QR] Wallet: what, why, and how
Hi, Pixels! 👋
We’re starting a strategic partnership with [QR] Wallet.

👀 What’s happening:
[QR] Wallet is a non-custodial DeFi wallet with its own app on Google Play and the App Store. It will now become infrastructure for Pixel:

• Pixel will exist inside [QR] Wallet as a GameFi sector.
• QR Wallet becomes the Wallet / DeFi infrastructure.
• You’ll be able to use Pixel directly from the QR Wallet iOS/Android app.

🤴 Why this matters for us and for you

• Convenience — play Pixel and manage your assets in one wallet.
• Functionality — pay for real purchases in Russia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Brazil with crypto (Thailand, Japan, and China are next!).
• Accessibility — the app is already in the stores and works on mobile devices.
• Gifts — all Pixel holders will receive gifts in [QR] Wallet.
• Customization — every Pixel will receive a unique badge 🙂 next to the username, visible to every user.
• Growth — we’ll keep building new content and improving the infrastructure.

👷‍♂️ What we gain (audience and marketing):
This is a strategic partnership with a promising wallet in early access (Beta), with no active marketing yet, but already with fast-growing real users and apps in the App Store / Google Play.

Through the integration, we get:

• Cross-marketing with [QR] Wallet.
• Access to a broad audience — essentially a ready-made marketing hub.
• Our Pixel project will be seen by new users who are already using a DeFi wallet.
• By actively participating in beta testing, our users will have a chance to receive valuable rewards from the [QR] Wallet project.

🤔 How the integration will work (3 stages):

1️⃣ Stage one
Pixel will appear inside [QR] Wallet. You’ll be able to play directly from the app (already available, details in the next post).

2️⃣ Stage two
DeFi integration inside Pixel — all Pixel networks and assets will be added to [QR] Wallet.

3️⃣ Stage three
Further infrastructure development and release of new content.

______________________________________
IMPORTANT!
During registration, on the @username creation screen, there will be a field for entering a promo code a little lower down.

Be sure to enter the promo code HELLOPIXEL

Without this step, you will not be able to receive rewards and unique bonuses for Hello Pixel users.

👀 WHY DID FEES GO UP ON THE SONGBIRD NETWORK?

It's the gas price on the Songbird network itself that went up — our ecosystem has nothing to do with it. This is part of a pre-planned reform of Flare's economics, not an outage and not network congestion.

Gas used to cost next to nothing, so transactions were practically free. Now the network is raising the gas price as part of the reform — to burn more of the token and bring inflation down. The full increase on Songbird takes effect on July 7, 2026; what we're seeing right now is the preparation phase, with gas prices climbing in advance 😢

Important: fees go to the network and its validators — not to the project.

Why claiming costs more than a regular transfer: a claim is not a single transaction, but a whole process (account verification → reward calculation → token distribution → writing to the blockchain). That's why it always requires more gas than a simple transfer. It just went unnoticed before, because gas was practically free.

Why does this affect Songbird if it's a Flare reform?

Songbird is Flare's "canary" network (like Kusama is for Polkadot). It's a fully live network with real value, where Flare battle-tests upgrades BEFORE rolling them out on the Flare mainnet.
They share the same codebase (the same go-flare client). So fee and protocol changes land on Songbird first — often earlier than on Flare itself.

The dates make it obvious: the new fee threshold activates on Songbird on July 7, 2026, but on Flare only on July 14. In other words, we get the price increase first, as the testing ground.
Bottom line: while the FIP.16 reform is formally about Flare's economics, it ships through shared code and network parameters — so it directly affects Songbird too.

For those who want the details:

Gas price. A week ago, gas on the network cost ~2 wei; now it's ~150 Gwei — roughly a 75-billion-fold increase per unit of gas. Today's network recommendation is ~slow 24 / avg 52 / fast 69 Gwei, and the app sets its price even above "fast" to make sure transactions go through.

What this means in real money. Gas consumption has NOT changed: a simple SGB transfer is ~21,000 units, a reward claim is ~225,000 units (about 10x more, because a claim is a full process, not a single operation). With gas now more expensive, a claim that used to cost a tiny fraction of a cent (~0.0000000005 SGB) now costs ~0.034 SGB.

Where the fees go. Right now the base fee is still close to zero and almost nothing is being burned — so the money goes to validators as a priority fee (a tip for including your transaction in a block), not into the burn. The full burn mechanism will activate later.

What the reform is. FIP.16 (approved April 24, 2026) raises the base fee ~20x — from 25 to 500 Gwei — via the go-flare v1.14.0 node upgrade and the ACP-176 dynamic fee mechanism. The goals: cut inflation from 5% to 3% per year and increase the annual token burn from ~7.5M to ~300M.

Timeline. The 500 Gwei minimum threshold on Songbird takes effect on July 7, 2026 — meaning the full increase is still ahead, and what's happening now is the preparatory ramp-up of gas prices.

No congestion. Network utilization is only ~1.85% — no outages, no attacks, no spam. This is a controlled, protocol-level price increase, not a malfunction.
