Frequently Asked Questions

The virtual assets sector involves inherent risks, including regulatory uncertainties, market volatility, and the potential loss of assets. It is critical that you carefully consider these risks and conduct thorough due diligence before engaging in activities within this ecosystem. Entities offering services in this sector, such as PixelPai, are generally not liable for financial losses or legal risks arising from the use of digital assets within their clients’ ecosystems outside what is required by law. Please see our service agreement terms for further details.

PixelPai ensures users' funds and assets are segregated by implementing the following safeguards and compliance measures:

1. Segregation of Funds:
   • Client funds are held in segregated accounts at authorized and reputable credit institutions, ensuring clear separation from operational funds. 
   • These funds are exclusively managed for client purposes, with strict prohibitions against being commingled with operational funds. 

2. Digital Asset Segregation:
   • Digital assets are stored in a dedicated vault structure where each client is assigned a unique vault account with sub-vaults to isolate individual holdings. 
   • This system prevents the commingling of customer assets with other assets, ensuring transparency and traceability. 

3. Transparent Record-Keeping:
   • Records are maintained enabling tracking of client assets and promoting accountability. 

4. Custodial and Non-Custodial Services:
   • Clients can choose custodial services or non-custodial services, granting them exclusive control over their private keys and assets.

PixelPai safeguards your digital assets through a multi-layered approach, including: 

1. Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Multi-Signature Technology: Private keys are split into shares, requiring multiple parties to authorize transactions, eliminating single points of failure. Keys are stored securely in hardware security modules (HSMs) or enclaves like Intel SGX. 
2. End-to-End Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest to prevent unauthorized access. 
3. Continuous Monitoring: Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection quickly identify and address potential threats. 
4. Access Controls: Role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication ensure only authorized personnel access sensitive systems.

PXPAI is a utility token designed exclusively for the PixelPai platform. It grants access to premium platform features, gamification functionalities, and serves as a medium of exchange within the ecosystem. PXPAI drives engagement and collaboration through the "token effect," aligning the financial interests of users, gaming studios, and the platform to foster loyalty and incentivize active participation. It also facilitates seamless in-game transactions, rewards, and other platform-specific activities. 

PXPAI tokens are used to unlock advanced analytics and compliance tools, access gamification features and in-game rewards, benefit from subscription discounts on platform services, participate in governance for non-financial platform decisions, and facilitate transactions and rewards across the ecosystem.

PXPAI tokens can be purchased during the token offering phases. Payments are accepted in fiat currencies (USD and EUR) and certain cryptocurrencies (ETH, SOL, BTC, and POL). To comply with our Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing policies and relevant regulations, all purchasers must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) or Know Your Business (KYB) verification to be eligible for the purchase. 

PXPAI is classified as a utility token under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation. Unlike speculative tokens, PXPAI is specifically designed for functional use within the PixelPai ecosystem, offering compliance, security, and innovative tools for gaming studios. 

Currently, PXPAI tokens are not listed on any exchanges. PixelPai may seek admission to trading on MiCA-compliant platforms in the future but does not guarantee this.

Yes, as with any crypto asset, purchasing PXPAI tokens carries risks. These include potential loss of investment, project failure, and regulatory risks. PXPAI tokens do not provide ownership, dividends, or financial returns.

PXPAI tokens are issued and managed through PixelPai's institutional-grade custody infrastructure. Buyers can choose between custodial wallets provided by PixelPai or compatible non-custodial wallets. PixelPai emphasizes security, including robust KYC and AML processes.

The PXPAI token offering is available only to participants residing in jurisdictions where such offerings comply with applicable laws and regulations. The offering excludes residents of regions subject to EU sanctions or other legal restrictions. Prospective purchasers must ensure compliance with their local laws before participating, as PixelPai cannot provide tokens to individuals or entities in prohibited or restricted jurisdictions.

No, PXPAI is not an e-money token. Under MiCA Regulation, e-money tokens are designed as a means of payment pegged to a single fiat currency. PXPAI is strictly a utility token for the PixelPai platform and cannot be redeemed for fiat currency. Its primary purpose is to provide access to platform-specific features and services rather than functioning as a general-purpose payment instrument.

No, PXPAI is not classified as an Asset-Referenced Token (ART). Under MiCA Regulation, ARTs are pegged to a basket of assets like fiat currencies, commodities, or crypto-assets to maintain a stable value. PXPAI’s value is tied solely to its utility and demand within the PixelPai platform. It is not collateralized by or pegged to external assets and is designed purely for operational and transactional purposes within the ecosystem.

No, PXPAI is not classified as a security under EU financial regulations. Unlike securities, which typically grant ownership rights, profit-sharing, or dividends, PXPAI is designed strictly for operational utility within the PixelPai platform. It grants access to advanced tools, gamification features, and compliance services, supporting ecosystem functionality rather than offering financial returns. PXPAI’s purpose is to facilitate effortless transactions and boost user engagement within the platform, not to serve as an investment vehicle.

Additionally, PixelPai actively monitors environmental regulations and explores sustainable blockchain solutions to further reduce its ecological footprint, shaping its operations to align with ongoing ESG developments.

PixelPai has implemented a comprehensive Conflict of Interest Policy to ensure transparency and fairness in all token-related activities. This includes separating key functions, such as token issuance, marketing, and compliance, across distinct teams to minimize bias. Any potential conflicts, such as personal or financial interests of team members, are disclosed and addressed promptly. Additionally, decision-making on token pricing, distribution, and usage is guided by the company’s operational roadmap and governance framework to prioritize the interests of token holders and maintain the integrity of the platform.

The PixelPai Node System enables the ecosystem's operation and scalability through three tiers of Node Operators: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each tier provides increasing levels of functionality, from basic transaction validation to advanced analytics and governance participation. PXPAI tokens are integral to the Node System, as they must be staked to participate. Rewards for Node Operators are directly linked to their operational contributions, encouraging active engagement and meaningful support for the platform's growth.

• Market volatility and potential loss of value.
• Regulatory uncertainty that may impact token operations.
• Project execution risks, such as delays or platform changes.
• No guaranteed liquidity on secondary markets.

FVK is secured through advanced cryptographic controls, including:

The Viking Rank System is a merit-based progression framework where users gain higher ranks based on contributions to the ecosystem. Ranks include:

• Wanderer – Entry-level participation.
• Viking – Active community engagement.
• Drengr & Berserker – Key contributors and marketers.
• Huskarl, Jarl, High Jarl – Strategic leaders with governance privileges.

Each rank unlocks increasing rewards, governance rights, and revenue-sharing opportunities.

1. Project assessment by the community.
2. Token swap process for fair migration.
3. Revival support, including technical upgrades and marketing assistance.

FVK holders can vote on revival candidates and participate in the process.

Revenue generation is built into the economic model through:

• Gaming revenue sharing (15% platform fee from studio earnings).
• Protocol services (fees for integration and revival services).
• Treasury growth mechanisms (strategic funding for expansion).
• Community engagement rewards (value-based incentive programs).

No. FVK is not an e-money token or an Asset-Referenced Token (ART) under MiCA regulations. It is purely a utility token for the Norse Protocol ecosystem and does not function as a fiat-pegged or collateralized asset.

Yes. Norse Protocol prioritizes sustainability by:

• Building on Solana, which uses an energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake mechanism.
• Exploring Layer 3 scaling solutions to reduce computational load.
• Minimizing unnecessary on-chain transactions to optimize resource use.

Norse Protocol follows a transparent governance structure to avoid conflicts of interest. Measures include:

• Community-driven decision-making for key protocol upgrades.
• Multi-signature-controlled treasury funds to prevent misuse.
• Separation of operational, governance, and technical responsibilities.

• If less than 50% remains unsold, tokens will be reallocated to the Gaming Studio Fund to drive adoption.
• If more than 50% remains unsold, a governance vote will determine whether the supply is burned or reallocated.
