Pixel

Pixel is an innovative chat platform specifically designed for the NFT community, where users can securely connect, converse, and trade digital assets with both friends and strangers. It stands out by integrating a seamless trading mechanism right within the chat interface, allowing for various types of asset swaps, including NFT-to-NFT, NFT-to-token, and more.

Integrated Trading within Chat: Pixel revolutionizes how digital assets are traded by embedding the functionality directly within the chat. This approach streamlines the trading process, making it more accessible and user-friendly.

Versatile Swap Options: The platform supports a wide array of swap types, catering to the diverse needs of the NFT community. Whether it’s trading one NFT for another, converting NFTs into tokens, or vice versa, Pixel handles it all within the chat environment.

Profile Page with NFT Display: Users have a personal profile page showcasing their NFT collection. This page is not just a display of assets but also a reflection of the user’s engagement and reputation within the community.

Trust Metrics: A unique aspect of Pixel is its focus on trust. The platform features a trust metric that highlights how much trust users put in others and how much trust they have received. This metric adds a layer of credibility and social proof, essential in the NFT space.

Collection Insights: When joining or viewing a collection, users can see how many people trust that particular collection. More importantly, they can view friends and known contacts who are knowledgeable or interested in that collection, fostering a sense of community and shared interest.

Security from DM Scams: With trades happening in a controlled environment, Pixel aims to significantly reduce the risk of direct message (DM) scams that are prevalent in other trading spaces. This secure environment gives users peace of mind and safer trading experiences.

Community Building: Beyond trading, Pixel is a space for users to build connections, share insights, and learn from each other, strengthening the overall NFT community.

We used Eth Scaffold 2 with a foundry addon to help us test and deploy contracts in the same repo. We added Push Protocol for the off-chain messaging with custom chat components. Within the components we added Nix NFT token exchange for handling of orders. The App uses a handful of smart contracts for the vouching, wallets, and various components.
