$MAGIC Mines, the PixaRealm and metaverse-ready NFTs: A look at the Pixa 2022 (proposed) roadmap.
Tags: Nftartist, Metaverse, Gamefi, Crypto, Nft

Happy new year everyone! 2021 was the year PixaLyfe was introduced to the NFT community, and it was filled with many historic milestones! It all began with the PixaBrews project, which introduced us to this amazing space and helped us learn the basics of crypto, NFTs, and Ethereum-based smart contracts. Early on in February we surpassed Lindsay Lohan as a sales leader on the Rarible NFT marketplace soon after the launch of the PixaWizards. Collectively, PixaLyfe projects have traded over 300 ether through both initial sale and secondary sale on various NFT marketplaces. We created multiple successful NFT projects with utility, culminating in the initial launch of the PixaRealm metaverse at the end of December. Thank you to our community for all the support we have received this year! 2021 has been extremely successful, but we are just beginning!

The first PixaWizard NFT!

The first order of business for 2022 will be rebranding our project as “Pixa”, along with a new logo and website! This includes a brand new web3 application that will keep all Pixa smart contract interactions within one webpage, making it easier to navigate and interact with our project. These items will be switched over during the next week. Following these cosmetic changes, we have an exciting roadmap full of tokenomics, NFTs and community building that we are excited to show you all! This roadmap will be voted on by the WizarDAO (The Pixa NFT ecosystem governance body) to ensure the community agrees with the goals proposed!

New branding and website coming next week!

We are planning the distribution of PixaRealm Land claims in Q2 2022. These land claim NFTs will be erc721 tokens that entitle the owner to claiming a certain amount of land in the PixaRealm, the Pixa NFT ecosystem’s metaverse. Users will be able to build structures and display images on their land. Unlike other metaverses where land is defined within a grid, the PixaRealm land will be claimable, meaning the user can adventure through the metaverse and claim an area of land they find attractive. This opens up the possibility of decentralized city building, where like-minded users can congregate in areas of the PixaRealm by claiming land near each other. To our knowledge, this method of land distribution has not been attempted in blockchain-based metaverses.

We are also introducing a new erc20 token to the Pixa NFT ecosystem called $MAGIC, which will be used as a resource in the PixaRealm metaverse for conjuring spells, completing quests and leveling up your 3D voxel (VX) character. How you earn $MAGIC is through the $MAGIC mines, which exist on all PixaRealm Land Claim NFTs. These $MAGIC mines produce $MAGIC over time, and can be influenced by the Pixa NFTs you hold, the amount of $PIXA (our native currency token) you stake in the mine, and how many times you claim your $MAGIC. The actions you will be able to perform are as follows:

Working the Mine: You assign a Pixa “Faction” NFT to the mine in return for a multiplier on your generated $MAGIC. Funding the Mine: You stake $PIXA in the mine in return for a multiplier on your generated $MAGIC. Raid the Mine: By owning a Pixa “Creature” NFT, you will raid mines that are withdrawing $MAGIC, stealing a portion of their precious resources! Defending the Mine: You assign a Pixa “Relic” NFT to the mine in return for a reduced chance of a rival Creature stealing from your $MAGIC mine withdrawals!

NOTE: Each time you claim your $MAGIC from the mine (withdrawing to your wallet), the production of your mine is reduced!

This gamification of Pixa NFT assets will add another layer of complexity to the collecting experience!

We are also excited about the future collections to be released in 2022: 3 Creatures and 2 Factions, along with some other secret surprises along the way! After the Creature #2 launch, future NFTs in the Pixa ecosystem will all be VX (3D voxel models). This will increase the scarcity of the existing 2D pixel art Pixa NFTs, and defines the utility of each type of NFT:

2D Pixel Art NFTs: $MAGIC generation through $MAGIC mines.

$MAGIC generation through $MAGIC mines. 3D Voxel (VX) NFTs: Metaverse cross-platform integration.

The VX models will be minted on Ethereum and will conform to standards needed for use in metaverses like The Sandbox. Additionally, the VX models will “level up” in the PixaRealm, which will be reflected in the metadata of that NFT. These levels will open up exclusive drops and content for owners of high-level Pixa VX models, encouraging users to immerse themselves in the PixaRealm metaverse.

A dancing PixaWizard VX!

We also plan on integrating other NFT utility tokens into our NFT collections, creating upgradable traits (like the PixaWitches “Rank” trait) that can be changed using $PIXA and/or another utility token! This will encourage NFT communities to mix and collaborate within the space.
