This is a tangible way to see the economy in action and learn real Web3 incentive mechanics. At the last minute of every month (UTC time) there's a series of snapshots of Pixal Holders that slightly vary in scope/rewards from month to month. By default we snapshot all Pixal Holders, and randomly draw a number of traits who get a bonus airdrop reward. The details of each snapshot are released a week in advance on our Discord, alongside a reminder to unstake/bridge back the Pixal PFPs to your own Wax Wallet โ€” as bridging or custodial-staking might lead to the risk of missing out on these sweet airdrop rewards. Keep in mind certain staking platforms, such as those with long unstaking periods, require planning ahead. This reward pool contains NFTs from across the ecosystem, as well as a limited allocation of our own Pixel Journey NFTs. It is refilled partly via collaboration agreements, donations, or via community/WaxRock Council decisions. Currently you can get a look at the current status of the reward pools at: * [pixeljourney on AtomicHub](https://atomichub.io/profile/wax-mainnet/pixeljourney) * [pixals.pxj on AtomicHub](https://atomichub.io/profile/wax-mainnet/pixals.pxj?blockchain=wax-mainnet\&order=desc\&sort=transferred) or [pixals.pxj on Waxblock](https://waxblock.io/account/pixals.pxj) * [pxj on AtomicHub](https://atomichub.io/profile/wax-mainnet/pxj) These NFT-reward-pools will also be utilized for occasional Discord or X events/giveaways, and for NFT-reward prizes for our TacoSwap MEALS incentives. {% hint style="success" %} **Did you know you can track** [**pixals.pxj on Waxblock**](https://waxblock.io/account/pixals.pxj) **or WaxOnEdge Analytics?** Every month to come \~5% PXJ from pixals.pxj is distributed across Pixal Holders. This means airdrop amounts slowly reduce month-by-month, and that they can last perpetually! Via Waxblock, or NFT inventory viewers, you may be able to get some insights into what tokens or airdrops may be coming up next ๐Ÿ‘€ {% endhint %} ## Why These Airdrops Matter for Your Pixel Journey Monthly airdrops are more than just free stuff โ€” they are a live lesson in sustainable tokenomics, probability, strategic holding, and community rewards. By participating, you learn how incentives work in Web3, how to plan around mechanics (unstaking timing), and how holding early assets can compound value over the long 1050+ day journey. This directly prepares you for future PxPackages-powered experiences and the PxLearn Portal. ## Airdrops Per Pixal Held \~60% of the airdrop of each month is equally split between all Pixal PFPs in circulation that are held by eligible accounts (i.e. dao.pxj/team.pxj/swap.taco accounts Pixals don't count). ## Random Trait Airdrops The remaining \~40% of each monthโ€™s airdrop is distributed between 4-8 randomly picked traits that vary from month to month. Each of the random picked traits share an equal part of the airdrop, meaning that rarer traits with fewer holders can be lucky to receive more PXJ when their traits are drawn (less holders to share with). Common traits may receive a smaller random trait airdrop even if lucky to be drawn. There are 323 traits (none doesn't count, besides for eyes/mouth), and they are all equally likely to be drawn in the monthly trait draws. The very rarest of traits (Black Rock WaxRocks) have only \~8 holders, where the more common traits have up to \~400 holders, so there can be a huge difference between each extra lucky trait held. ### Pixel Journey Tips for Maximizing Airdrops * **Plan Ahead**: Always check Discord for snapshot details and unstake in time (especially from platforms with long cooldowns). * **Diversify Holdings**: Holding a mix of common and rare traits increases your chances across different draw types. * **Stay Active**: Participate in the community โ€” some events and Council decisions influence extra rewards. * **Track Everything**: Use Waxblock and inventory tools to monitor pools and understand reward flows. This builds real analytical skills. * **Think Long-Term**: Consistent holding compounds value over the entire journey and into PxPackages-powered future phases. * **Learn the Mechanics**: Understanding probability and timing here teaches transferable Web3 skills. ### Seasonal Trait Airdrops Upon various seasons there will be an extra high chance of additional airdrops in certain themed categories of Pixal PFPs: * Valentines * Summer Fest * Halloween * XMAS In these cases, it may be that the Rock Council decides to reallocate the Random Trait airdrops to either only be drawn within a certain category of traits, or to be entirely replaced to airdrop all the season's traits instead. ### Pixal Holder Airdrop History: * End February Snapshot: 1M PXJ distributed (4050 eligible Pixals) * End March Snapshot: 2M PXJ distributed (\~4800 eligible Pixals) * Mid April Snapshot (WUFFI Launch Celebration): 1.5M PXJ + 1B WUF distributed (5350 eligible Pixals) * End of April Snapshot: 3M PXJ distributed (5800 eligible Pixals) * End of May Snapshot: 4.2M PXJ + 169M WUF + 1.69B CHAD (8366 eligible Pixals) * End of June Snapshot: 4.25M PXJ + 166M WUF + 1.69B CHAD (8186 eligible Pixals) This system is a beautiful example of how early participation in the Pixel Journey creates ongoing value and learning opportunities. Keep holding, keep learning, and enjoy the rewards as we build the best Web3 educational adventure together! *Part of our mission to create the most helpful and pixel-perfect Web3 journey material in the space.* --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
