Pegaxy (PGX)

What Is Pegaxy (PGX)?

Pegaxy (PGX) is a free-to-play mech-horse racing game built on blockchain. As a play-to-earn metaverse Pegaxy allows users to create real-world value through in-game activity.

The game implements a dual token economy based around the governance token PGX (Pegaxy Stone) and the utility token VIS (Vigorus). While PGX enables holders to influence decisions on the platform and profit through stacking, VIS serves as a main currency facilitating the commerce inside of the game.

During gameplay, users enter mythological creatures called Pega into player-versus-player (PvP) races and compete to gain monetary rewards. Out of the 12 participants in every race, the top 3 are given VIS tokens. Pega are available for players to buy, rent, sell and breed on the platform.

Pegaxy metaverse beta release on desktop took place on November 15th 2021. The company plans to carry out the game beta release on mobile towards the end of 2021. According to the roadmap presented in the project’s whitepaper, the official launch of Pegaxy on iOS and Android is scheduled for the second quarter of 2022. The PGX initial DEX offering (IDO) was held on Nov. 5, 2021.

What Makes Pegaxy Unique?

Pegaxy (PGX) aims to increase the accessibility of play-to-earn games and allows newcomers to join the metaverse with no initial investment. All the races in Pegaxy are free to enter and Pega are available for rent on a profit share model.

Pegaxy’s rental system is trustless and automated. Every rental agreement inside of the game is created along with an escrow account, which holds and eventually distributes the assets automatically, according to the predetermined conditions. By eliminating manual payments Pegaxy is able to ensure the transparency and safety of NFT renting on the platform.

Although the game was initially released in 2D, it plans to transition to be graphically represented in the three-dimensional space upon the completion of testing and confirmation of compatibility with low-end Android devices. Pegaxy is also preparing to introduce a player-controlled game mechanics and migrate from being an auto-racer to featuring a skill-based gameplay.

The game is designed to be community-lead and plans to decentralize gradually by handing over the control to PGX holders with the project's further growth.
