This is probably already being worked on, but how about adding some modifiers for the in-game staking (pixel + vpixel) based on various conditions/metrics to encourage people to stake INGAME rather than on-chain.

On-chain stakers would be ideally investors and others that don't actively play, but people that play the actual game and contribute to it, perhaps could have their in-game staking boosted by things like:

-Rep

-VIP / Land /pet ownership

-Time played in the game/skill levels, other proof of play/contribution/quests, etc

-Guild ranking/metrics?

-Skill-based PvP/risk to earn of some sort >:D

-Length of time staking pixel/vpixel

-and so on and so on.

Basically, reward and differentiate gamers with investors, and encourage real players to compete for better staking multipliers/modifiers for playing the game, ideally paid out in Pixel or vPixel (or split), and eventually $USDC or similar.
