I'm thrilled to announce the beta launch of PixelCraft – a GameFi platform where creativity meets blockchain technology on the Steem network. Join a vibrant community of digital artists creating collaborative pixel art in real-time!

What is PixelCraft?

PixelCraft is a collaborative pixel art game I've built on the Steem blockchain. Imagine a massive 1000x1000 canvas where thousands of artists come together to create stunning artwork, one pixel at a time. Your creations are immortalized both off-chain for speed and on-chain .

How to Play

Getting started with PixelCraft is simple and secure:

1. Login with Your MemoKey

Steem Keychain (Recommended): Install the Keychain browser extension and login with one click
Private MemoKey: Use your Steem memo private key for secure authentication
All keys are encrypted using AES encryption and stored locally – your keys never touch my servers

2. Choose Your Pixel Placement Mode

Free Mode: Place 10 pixels every 60 seconds – perfect for casual creators!
Burn Mode: Burn STEEM tokens to place multiple pixels instantly (requires Active Key for transactions)

3. Start Creating!

Select your color from the palette
Click pixels on the canvas to paint
Zoom in to see detailed pixel coordinates
Watch your creation come to life in real-time
See other artists pixels appear instantly via WebSocket connections
