Pixpel Brings Fair and Secure Game Fundraising to SKALE

SKALE Network

Decentralized Fundraising for Game Developers, Now Gas-Free on SKALE

In the gaming world, indie developers with ambitious dreams are too frequently sidelined by outdated funding models, high entry barriers, and a lack of control. Traditional publishing routes are slow, centralized, and demand creative compromises that stifle innovation. Enter Pixpel, a decentralized launchpad built to transform the way game projects are funded. Designed for fairness, automation, and transparency, Pixpel equips developers with the tools to raise capital without needing VCs or publishers. By leveraging smart contracts, vesting systems, and liquidity pool management, Pixpel ensures both developers and investors are protected throughout the process. And today, SKALE, the gas-free invisible blockchain, is pleased to announce that Pixpel is officially live on the world’s fastest blockchain.

What is Pixpel?

Pixpel Launchpad is a decentralized platform designed specifically to help game developers raise funds through token sales. It offers a streamlined, automated approach powered entirely by smart contracts. The platform includes:

Launchpad Contract: Manages token sales and project parameters.
Vesting Contract: Protects stakeholders by gradually releasing tokens.
LP Fund Manager: Ensures liquidity for token trading by distributing funds between developers and investors.

Whether you’re building your first indie title or scaling your studio’s next big release, Pixpel offers an end-to-end fundraising infrastructure without relying on centralized platforms.

Unlocking Value for Developers and Investors

Pixpel’s unique value lies in its fairness and automation. The platform was built to support:

Game Developers: Especially Web2 indie teams who want to escape traditional funding models and retain full control over their projects.
Contributors and Gamers: Seeking to support the games they enjoy as well as safe, transparent, and early access to gaming tokens through automated protections like refunds, caps, and time-locked vesting.

With support for multi-chain fundraising, Pixpel’s model is scalable, secure, and flexible. Meaning Pixpel opens doors for developers worldwide to launch with confidence.

Why Pixpel Chose SKALE

For a platform built on transparency and efficiency, SKALE was the obvious choice. Pixpel needed infrastructure that could support complex fundraising logic, high transaction throughput, and smooth UX without punishing developers or investors with gas fees.

Here’s what made SKALE stand out:

Zero Gas Fees: SKALE’s architecture eliminates gas costs, making token sales and transactions accessible to all.
EVM Compatibility: Pixpel can deploy smart contracts without rewriting them for a new environment.
Speed & Security: With fast finality and decentralized infrastructure, SKALE aligns perfectly with Pixpel’s mission to remove middlemen and maximize transparency.

By launching on SKALE, Pixpel ensures that developers and investors can interact freely and without barriers or bottlenecks.

A Platform Built with Purpose

Pixpel is a launchpad that’s already gained recognition:

Selected for the Startup Bootcamp DeFi Cohort 2024
Received early grants from Concordium Network in 2021
Developed entirely in-house by a global team across Pakistan, Venezuela, and Bulgaria
Introduced a DAO-governed investor protection system where funders vote on project milestones

This system automates refunds if goals aren’t met, thus building trust in game funding.
