đź§© MVP running locally. Web3 is real.

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.

✅ What’s working

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.


🛠️ Tech stack

  • 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


🔜 Coming up next

  • 🖌 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.)


❤️ Why this matters

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.


🚀 What’s next

  • 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
