I'm not a professional developer.But with basic knowledge, curiosity — and a lot of help from ChatGPT — I’m building this project from scratch.
The first version of the Pixel Canvas DApp is now running locally with real Web3 logic.
Here's what’s already working:
🎨 Interactive pixel canvas (40x20) with on-click painting
đź’° On-chain pixel purchasing via smart contract
đź§ Wallet connection (MetaMask + Sepolia testnet)
📦 Persistent state of pixels stored and updated correctly
Every pixel bought is reflected on the canvas and stored on-chain. No central server is used for ownership.
Frontend: React
Backend: JavaScript-based workers (custom logic)
Blockchain: Sepolia testnet
Smart contracts: Solidity (pixel purchase, ownership tracking)
Web3 integration: ethers.js
Development is fully local for now, but 100% decentralized-ready.
The interface is minimal for now, but the logic is working:
Wallet connects
Pixel is selected and paid for
Smart contract registers and locks it
đź–ŚÂ Interface upgrade: zoom, color picker, hover info, owned-pixel highlights
🧾 Ownership tokenization: 1 pixel = 1 ERC-20 token
🪙 Reward logic: when NFT is sold, rewards are split based on tokens
🗳 DAO logic: later, tokens can be used to vote on decisions (hold/sell/mint sequel/etc.)
I’m building this project without formal dev background.This is a learning project — but also a real experiment in collaborative, ownable digital art.
With help from ChatGPT, open-source tools, and Web3 logic, it's possible to go from zero to a live decentralized DApp.
Launch public version on Sepolia testnet
Finalize smart contract for token and reward logic
Publish the code for review
Open up the pixel canvas to early testers
There are no socials yet — I’ll keep posting updates in this Mirror blog.If you're curious, drop in and follow along.
**Web3 is not only for developers.**It’s for creators, tinkerers, and curious minds.Let’s draw something together — and make it truly ours.
