Core:
ArtGridz is a pioneering decentralized platform revolutionizing pixel art creation and NFT storage. At its core, ArtGridz aims to demonstrate the benefits of blockchain data storage to everybody through a playful and simple onchain experience. Our project embodies the essence of blockchain technology by fostering independence from third-parties, ensuring the integrity and permanence of digital artworks and actively bonding the community.
Unique Approach:
Unlike conventional NFT projects that primarily rely on off-chain image storage(IPFS), ArtGridz introduces a groundbreaking method.
We meticulously store every pixel's color directly on-chain through smart contract events. These smart contracts execute predefined actions based on user interactions, facilitating the creation and preservation of pixel art in a decentralized manner.
Onchain-Pixelart Creation-Proccess from the Testnet:
Technical Implementation:
ArtGridz utilizes Solidity, a coding language for smart contracts, to facilitate interactions between users and the blockchain. Through a user-friendly JavaScript interface, participants can seamlessly interact with our smart contracts. This interface fetches events from the blockchain, enabling users to access and modify pixel colors securely stored on the blockchain.
Immutable Artwork:
By leveraging blockchain technology, ArtGridz ensures the immutability of artworks. Once stored on the blockchain, every pixel and color value is permanently recorded, impervious to manipulation or deletion. This guarantees the authenticity and integrity of each artwork, showcasing the power of immutable data. On the dApp, each pixel's color is determined by the latest data retrieved, providing a dynamic and interactive experience for users. Additionally, all past states can be accessed by specifying a previous block time, allowing users to explore the historical states of the ArtGridz canvas. Our goal is to generate enough participation to dynamically etch current narratives or hot topics onto the canvas, creating an ever-changing pixelated time capsule that can be revisited to see precisely what was happening at any given moment in the past.
Ecosystem and Rewards:
ArtGridz fosters an engaging ecosystem that incentivizes active participation and creativity through scarcity and other growth mechanisms enabled by smart contracts. Our proprietary GRIDZ token-deflation mechanisms, token rotations, NFTs, APY boosts, and XP rewards ensure that artists are rewarded for their contributions while maintaining gradual deflation from day one. Additionally, users who meet specific XP conditions can mine free GRIDZ tokens every two years if they are fortunate enough to color one of the 1,600 pixels in the 40x40 canvas.
The initial "Genesis" Mining Event will commence prior to the presale of our token, requiring 2,000 XP, which can be earned by inviting users(20XP +20XP after success & milestones), achieving daily login streaks(1XP per day and milestones), and coloring pixels in our free2play features: PhantomChat(5XP per Pixel) or CrossChainGridz(25XP per Pixel). Subsequent mining events will require double the XP while halving the GRIDZ reward per pixel. Our innovative reward system is fully automated, eliminating the need for manual interventions from the team, ensuring continuity and resilience even in unforeseen circumstances.
After extensive iterations and a year of refining the token, we can proudly state that our token growth will be directly correlated to platform usage. Automated anti-cyclical mechanisms will support our token during periods of low or even zero participation, ensuring stability and sustainability, and as a new project actively learned from the mistakes of older projects and how long-term growth can be more sustainable and also accelerated.
Membership Value:
By actively participating in our pixel art games rather than solely holding or staking our Token, users have the opportunity to unlock a range of perks within the ecosystem.
Access to Mining free GRIDZ Tokens
Enable APY-boosts by collecting NFTs
Monetize your own Art in CustomGridz
Create art that nobody can steal from you. Including the ownership of every Pixel-Alteration that you ever triggered
By integrating these opportunities, ArtGridz fosters a vibrant and exclusive community, ensuring that participation is both rewarding and purposeful.
Key Advantages:
ArtGridz draws inspiration from notable projects like Reddit's "r/place" and the "1-Million-Dollar Homepage," but it offers a unique advantage: blockchain integration. By storing artworks on the blockchain, ArtGridz ensures unparalleled security, decentralization, and censorship resistance. Our tokenization concept incentivizes users to actively participate, keeping this unique project alive and thriving while demonstrating the collaborative benefits of blockchain technology.
The simplicity and nostalgia that only the immutability of blockchains can provide make ArtGridz an ideal project. It not only reflects platform usage in its token value but also represents the growth of mass awareness. As the canvas becomes more actively visited and significant over time, it stands as a testament to the project's success.
CustomGridz:
Introducing CustomGridz, our platform's sub-platform tailored for solo artists. Here, artists can easily create and monetize their own NFT collections within our on-chain marketplace.
They maintain full control over supply, pricing (in GRIDZ), and royalties, while ArtGridz verifies them on-chain, and provides a fully on-chain fetched marketplace and gallery ensuring authenticity & additionally refusing to rely on non-blockchain related third-parties.
Artists start by burning 1000 GRIDZ to unlock a customGridz-ID for their artwork.
Completed pieces automatically enter the CustomGridz NFT marketplace, where users can purchase them by burning the NFT price, with artists receiving their royalty percentage.
DeFi Integration:
For DeFi investors aiming to maximize returns, ArtGridz offers two essential collections within the DeFi-Gridz section:
OnchainInk (100x100 Pixels) and LuckyEleven (16x16 Pixels).
These features provide opportunities to enhance APY through NFT drops that automatically increase your APY in GRIDZ-staking, presenting valuable options for strategic investment.
To maintain the sustainability of staking rewards, we have a fixed staking rewards pool to prevent the excessive minting of tokens. Investors who accumulate the most NFTs will earn the highest staking rewards and secure the biggest portion of the staking rewards. Whale limits and meticulous long-term projections ensure that no single entity can deplete the staking rewards, promoting a fair and balanced system for all participants.
Another feature, which doesn't distribute NFTs, however is interconnected to the DeFi Integration is our so called 'PhantomChat'.
It is a low barrier to entry Pixelcanvas and Chatroom at once, that gives new players room for experimentation and exposure to potentially big rewards from seemingly random redistributions of ETH fees, that were collected in LuckyEleven, which just automatically get released to every 1000th Painter in PhantomChat. Contrary to LuckyEleven and OnchainInk, PhantomChat is tokenless and has no fees attached.

Token redistribution model
90 percent of burned tokens from both OnchainInk and CustomGridz initialization fee & marketplace sales(CustomGRIDZ NFT purchases = GRIDZ burn + Artist Royalty) to the most active OnchainInk user.
The Counter resets to 0 afterwards to remove the remaining 10% from the supply.
Every 11th painter/Painter after Counter = 10 colors for free & automatically recieves 8 GRIDZ, while passively releasing 1 GRIDZ to the the single most active referrer and resetting LuckyEleven's isolated burned token-counter to 0 to remove the remaining 1 GRIDZ from the supply.
Every 1000th interaction gets surprised with 10% of accumulated ETH protocol fee's from LuckyEleven while passively releasing another 10% to the most active referrer and 80% to the Team.
