Pixelmon to Launch Hunting Season, Starts August 28

Pixelmon, the gaming-native monster colleting IP published by MON Protocol, is launching a new staking event called “Hunting Season.”

Starting August 28, players will have the opportunity to stake their Pixelmon NFTs and earn $MON tokens, through various stages.

The event is structured to provide ongoing rewards, with participants able to engage in multiple seasons to maximize their earnings.

What is Pixelmon?

Pixelmon is a blockchain game that blends elements of open-world RPGs with NFT-based digital collectibles.

Reminiscent of Pokémon, players can capture, train, and evolve creatures called Pixelmons. These creatures serve as the core of the gameplay, and can be owned, traded, or evolved using in-game resources and NFTs.

Pixelmon has gained attention for its dual-token economy, with $MON serving as the main utility token for in-game transactions and staking.

The game features PvP battles, land management, and social hubs, allowing players to interact with the community following its recent rebranding under a new leadership.

How to participate in Pixelmon’s Hunting Season?

The Hunting Season will be hosted on the MON Protocol’s website and is divided into three distinct phases, each offering players different ways to earn rewards.

Phase 1: Accumulation
- During the first phase, players can stake their Pixelmon NFTs to accumulate $MON. The amount of $MON earned is linked to the rarity of the staked NFT—rarer NFTs yield higher rewards.
- Throughout this phase, which lasts approximately one month, $MON accumulates daily. However, the accumulated $MON remains locked and inaccessible until the next phase. If a player unstakes their NFT before this phase ends, all accumulated $MON will be forfeited.
Phase 2: Drip
- Following the accumulation period is the Drip Phase, lasting 20 days.
- During this time, the $MON earned in Phase 1 becomes available for claiming. Players can choose to collect their $MON daily or wait until the end of the phase to gather the full amount.
- Unstaking NFTs during this phase results in losing all accumulated and locked $MON, although any unlocked but unclaimed $MON remains available for collection.
Phase 3: Grace
- The final stage, known as the Grace Period, extends for an additional month, allowing players to claim any remaining $MON before the event concludes. This phase ensures that all participants have ample time to collect their rewards.
