Pixelmon Gears Up for Token Launch After Securing $8 Million Investment

With a new management team and a significant funding boost, Pixelmon is set to introduce its gaming universe and the MON token to power its IP ecosystem.

Pixelmon is embarking on an ambitious journey to blend gaming with blockchain technology, creating a series of games that cater to a broad audience with varying tastes, according to Giulio Xiloyannis. The strategy involves rolling out a new mini-game every quarter, focusing on simplicity and engagement.

“We’re setting up to release a mini-game quarterly, drawing on a team of six dedicated to crafting hypercasual, Web3-centric experiences. Expect gameplay that encourages a bit of healthy competition, like mechanics where players can swipe points from one another,” Xiloyannis shared.

He elaborated on the innovative aspects of Pixelmon’s approach, emphasizing the exploratory nature of their game development. “It’s a chance for us to innovate, trying out different blockchain platforms, fostering unique player interactions, and pioneering in integrating blockchain anti-cheat systems,” he added.

Introducing Pixelmon

Under the umbrella of Pixelation Labs and backed by LiquidX Studios in Singapore, Pixelmon is not just any gaming brand. It revolves around mythical creatures that inhabit its expanding universe.

Giulio Xiloyannis, at the helm of Pixelmon and a co-founder of its parent venture LiquidX, divulged plans for four upcoming games, including PixelPals, poised for imminent release. These games are unified by the presence of Pixelmon creatures, bridging different gaming experiences under one banner.

A pivotal aspect of Pixelmon's innovation is its Mon Protocol, which fractionalizes intellectual property rights among NFT holders. This approach democratizes ownership and engagement with the game characters, aligning with the ethos of decentralized digital assets.

Yat Siu, a pioneering figure from Animoca Brands, praised this model: "The decentralized IP system that Mon Protocol is establishing is significant because it will empower creative communities and IP core fan bases to participate actively in the long-term success of a consumer franchise, taking full advantage of true digital ownership and network effects.”

The influx of $8 million in funding is earmarked for accelerating the development of Pixelmon’s game portfolio, spanning casual to mid-core titles, signifying a robust expansion phase for the brand.
