Things are a little different for December’s end of month review, as instead of reflecting on what the past 31 days had in store, we’ll be focusing on Pikaverse developments from across the entirety of 2024.
Over the course of a relentless 52 weeks of non-stop building, community events, memes, AMAs/podcasts, and attention from countless KOLs and crypto publications, PIKA investors have had a lot to be excited about…
And although the crypto markets are yet to turn in GameFi’s favour, the foundations have been set for PIKA’s sheer dominance over this multi-billion dollar industry.
The final consensus?…
A PIKA explosion that will topple that of Illuvium (ILV) and Axie Infinity (AXS), two former billion dollar GameFi projects that now pale in terms of game development, community sentiment, and potential for long-term growth.
Need a little convincing? Well, here’s an extensive breakdown of our stand-out moves across 2024, all of which in the name of building an AAA gaming product with millionaire-making powers.
So, as you dust-off any festive cobwebs, sit back, relax, and feast your eyes on the ample evidence behind PIKA’s Nintendo-flipping prowess, starting with February’s antics.
February 2024 — A Sell-Out PIKA Presale
February 2024 hosted possibly the most notable event in the entire Pikamoon calendar — the $6 million sell-out $PIKA Presale.
Here, time was ticking for us to get exchange listings in place for the onset of the crypto bull run, which is why the team announced a 60-day Presale Countdown. As expected, the Pika Army responded with its full might, purchasing over $1.4 million worth of PIKA in less than a week.
As we look back through the PIKA history books, this ‘Pika Gold Rush’ set the stage for our 73,000+ strong diamond-handed community to form.
March 2024 — CEX & DOX GALORE
What would a sell-out Presale be without a swift exchange launch?
Not much we gathered, which is why PIKA landed in the wallets of all early adopters amid a three exchange token generation event.
Since March 22nd, the Pika Army has been able to trade PIKA on two of the most prominent CEXs in crypto — MEXC and Bitget — as well as the biggest DEX of them all, Uniswap. As GameFi momentum and in-house developments ramp up, expect more CEX expansions as we go mainstream!
Preceding this was another monumental moment in Pikamoon history; the unveiling of our three Founders and all-encompassing developer, Orbit Cosmos.
Here, the no holds barred Pikamoon Podcast Episode 1 changed Pikaverse time and space forever, ushering-in a new standard of trust, transparency, and commitment that our GameFi competitors simply can’t match.
With Brock, Kanto, and Nixx at the helm, as well as 80+ of Asia’s best devs, PIKA couldn’t be more poised for a billion-dollar GameFi takeover.
Rewatch the legendary Pikamoon Podcast Episode 1 below, as well as all other episodes via the Pikamoon YouTube channel:
April 2024 — Our First Open World Reveal
Perhaps our biggest cinematic production to date came in April: the Openworld Trailer (Teaser)!
Enough of the talking…watch it below:
May 2024 — More Cinematic & Technical Devs
Our second and most recent cinematic instalment then came in May, by way of the ‘Heroes are Forged in Battle’ Trailer. Watch it below:
May also saw the final instalment of Presale token unlocks, which opened the door for the PIKAHUB and PIKA Staking to arrive.
Innovation on all fronts never stops in the Pikaverse…
June 2024 — Supply Side PIKA Bullishness
June served as an impactful month for those hodling PIKA, as it marked the ignition of the ever-important NFT snapshot period for deciding who’s eligible to claim the soon-to-arrive Pikamoon NFTs.
To reiterate, these finely-tuned Blue-Chip digital assets are on the horizon, please remain patient Pika Army!
Amid the relatively bearish market of Q2 2024, PIKA bullishness was boosted through 3 BILLION tokens being burned as a result of the Presale claim function closing.
With supply instantaneously reducing, Pika Army members permanently strengthened their bags over the summer months, tempting reason for a sun-baked cocktail or two!
July 2024 — A Month of AAA Building Demonstrations
As we look back on 2024, July is where our content and development began to ramp up, demonstrated by the reveal of three stages of Open World Averd building (formerly ‘Earth’).
A ‘Dungeon Fly-Through’ demonstration also graced our screens, which did wonders for showcasing the intricacy of what our devs are cooking up!
August 2024 — IRL Office Doc & 5 PIKA Mini-Games!
We then took content IRL in August, by way of an hour-long documentary at the Pikamoon HQ.
Want to get to know our three founders and 80+ team… up close and personal that is? Watch the doc below!
Equally as grand, 5 PIKA mini-games landed on the PIKAHUB, offering a glimpse into the undeniable AAA prowess of our devs.
Rewards are still in store for those who top the leaderboards… so get playing now!
September 2024 — PikaRoyale & AI-Integrations Announced
A BIG announcement came in September, as it was officially revealed that Battle Royale will be coming to Dreva by way of PikaRoyale.
Better yet, to get to grips with what ‘ The Nexus’ will have in store for players, devs sat down for a 45-minute spotlight session on the matter. Watch below!
As the cutting-edge AAA game that we are, September also saw the demonstration of how revolutionary AI mechanics will shape how players interact with in-game characters.
October 2024 — More BTS HQ Alpha
Amid a busier-than-ever period of game development and further tokenomic planning, October was a month where we unveiled more BTS footage of the holistic ongoings of PIKA, hosted by PIKA memelord Mumtaz!
We rank high on google, and theres a reason for that…
November 2024–2 HUGE PROJECT UPGRADES
Alongside another BTS HQ video hosted by Founder Conrad, November hosted two of the biggest PIKA developments of the entire year:
- The Pikamoon Whitepaper 2.0 release, with dev companion video. Watch here to uncover all that is planned for Dreva!
- The arrival of new PIKA market makers — or in other words, the arrival of improved depth, liquidity, and ease of PIKA trading!
December 2024 — A Month of GameFi Explosion Prep!
And finally, we have December, which again, was a month of non-stop BTS development that the GameFi space simply isn’t ready for.
To express his bullishness, Founder Conrad not only took to an ice bath when calling for the Pika Army to BUY MORE PIKA whilst prices are low, but he also hosted a X Spaces to discuss the sheer superiority of PIKA over all other GameFi projects in 2025. Listen here!
2025 — A Year With Billion Dollar Intentions
Well… that was a lot to unpack!
For that reason, we’ll leave things brief when introducing our groundbreaking plans of 2025.
Furthermore, when focusing on what’s in store for the opening sequences of the year, expect:
- A new AAA website to reflect our AAA product.
- A complete PIKA branding revamp, aligning with the dynamism of market demands and trends, as well as our commitment to constantly innovate and listen to community feedback.
In the days and weeks to come, expect more updates, content, and green candle price movements, all of which demonstrative of the billion dollar direction of PIKA!
