Shufflers, we can’t wait for you to join our dynamic community!
Before that, we want to give you some background on the creation of the project:
The beginnings
100% on-chain composable
Pixel art
Project vision
Meet the Team
The beginnings
The old world needs reform.
Ever since the emergence of blockchain technology and Web 3.0 culture, we have become familiar with a strange dichotomy: everyone is interconnected by the blockchains but separated into communities.
Of course, we need small communities where people can share their passions or identities but we also need a joint community for all NFT holders to get through hard times.
We want to break the walls of NFT projects and connect members from individual communities to create, consume, own, and build the next generation of the Web3 world together.
So, how do we unite the NFT world in our own way?
100% on-chain composable
As we review the brief history of NFTs, it occurred to us that the most effective approach would be using technology to integrate NFTs. We want to enable NFT holders to compose 3rd-party NFTs onto the center of Onchain Shuffler poker cards.
To achieve this, all images and metadata of Onchain Shufflers NFTs are compressed and stored on the Ethereum blockchain, using a custom version of run-length encoding (RLE), a form of lossless compression used in Nouns.wtf. This allows our smart contract to fetch base64-encoded image data from 3rd-party NFTs, and dynamically decodes and renders a 3rd-party image on the center of a poker card. We also adopted an on-chain finite state machine (FSM) and handwritten inline assembly to enable complex decoding operations under the constraints of the Ethereum gas limit.
Pixel art
Blockchain’s size is limited by modern data storage standards. Storing all images on-chain means that we can only use pixel images. But that doesn’t mean that we waive our pursuit of art.
Our talented artist looked at the history of pixel art and found inspiration in the era of 8-bit video games. What’s more exciting than this classic style combined with the ‘Aha’ moment as the world begins to explore the new horizons of the Web3 universe?
So, we developed three keywords to establish our visual style:
Colorful PIXEL & RETRO art that reflects a romantic nostalgia for 8-bit video games
Most current art & tech revolution represented by the FRESH visual language
Composition feature that allows on-chain NFTs to be displayed TOGETHER to celebrate this unity
We want to create memorable art that will be appreciated by the next generation.
Project Vision
We are proud to introduce you to Onchain Shufflers (Twitter @ShufflersNFT), the world’s first composable onchain NFT with pixel style poker cards and our decentralized, inclusive, and open social hub, for crypto experts, creators, entrepreneurs, beginners, and members from other NFT communities to meet, engage, and build.
As our roadmap rolls out, we will put on a variety of events, shows, parties, and competitions to create a social hub for different NFT communities to socialize and collaborate. In addition, holders of the Onchain Shufflers NFTs could unlock exclusive benefits both online and offline – gaining priority access to exclusive airdrops, merchandise, discounts, and networking events as well as engaging in the decision-making process as we expand our ecosystem.
Meet the team
From Silicon Valley. Ready to shuffle the world.
Onchain Shufflers’ core team is made up of both web2 elites and web3 OGs.
