PANews reported on January 14 that according to NFT Plazas, Luke Barwikowski, founder of the crypto game Pixels, announced that the staking function for PIXEL tokens will be launched soon. Barwikowski called the upcoming system "very novel" but has not yet revealed more details. While details about staking remain confidential, the appearance mechanism will meet both game practicality and governance purposes. In addition to staking, Barwikowski also admitted that some people have reported that the game mechanics are too complicated, especially the large number of crafting stations that players can place on their land. He said that "industry restrictions" will be reintroduced to solve this problem.
Some people are concerned about the risks of the staking function, including market volatility and implementation complexity, which has also triggered discussions on the role of land ownership in the game, and some community members believe that the value of land owners is underestimated. Barwikowski responded that the game economy is currently unbalanced, causing damage to land owners, and adjustments are being made, and hinted that land ownership may be related to governance, but specific plans have not yet been confirmed.
