on-chain pixel art, painted by its holders

Every piece lives entirely on Ethereum. Painted on a fixed grid, evolving as it is worked, owned for good.

the artist lounge

Named artists paint finished works using the pic2cells tool. Their pieces carry a signature frame and trait, and are released as auctions on pic2cells. The art stays fully on-chain.

More artists join soon. Each one paints a small, finished set, signed and on-chain.

a home for on-chain pixel art

pic2cells is a collection and a creative tool. Every work is pixel art stored entirely on Ethereum, not a link to a file somewhere that can vanish. You own the art and the canvas it sits on.

how it works

01
mint a pack
A blank on-chain canvas, yours to keep or to paint.
02
paint it
Place pixels on the grid. The work changes as you do.
03
fuse and grow
Burn packs to add pixels, and the piece keeps growing as you work it.

built to last

The art is rendered on-chain by a swappable renderer, so pic2cells can keep getting richer over time while the core contract stays frozen and safe. New looks and traits can arrive without ever touching what you own.

minting and royalties

pic2cells mints through SeaDrop, OpenSea's open minting standard, and is built on the gas-efficient ERC-721A. Creator royalties are set on-chain through the ERC-2981 standard, which funds the studio, the curated artist program, and the work that keeps this collection alive.

the studio

pic2cells is built by a small studio that cares about pixels, permanence, and treating this like a real art collection, not a quick drop.

Builder Docs

pic2cells is 100% on-chain. No private API to request, no key to wait for, no permission needed from the team. The contract is the API, open and permissionless. Go build.

The basics

  • Contract: 0xAbEBFB0918e9f5E9C590F46edB363156f56768D8
  • Chain: Ethereum mainnet
  • Verified on Etherscan, so the full ABI is public there.
  • Bring your own RPC (Alchemy, Infura, or a public node). You don't need anything from us.

Use ethers, viem, web3.py, or any library that reads an Ethereum contract.

Read functions you'll want

  • tokenURI(tokenId) — full on-chain metadata: base64 JSON with the SVG image and all traits. No IPFS, no server.
  • seedOf(tokenId) — the seed; form, tier, backdrop, and base inventory all derive from it.
  • inventoryOf(tokenId) — uint32[21], live pixel count per color (after burns and painting).
  • canvasDataOf(tokenId) — (bytes, uint8), the painted 32x32 canvas plus encoding mode (0 raw, 1 RLE, 2 sparse).
  • isRevealed / isLocked / burnCountOf — token state.
  • Standard ERC-721: ownerOf, balanceOf, totalSupply, plus tokensOfOwner(address).

Events to index

  • Minted(to, tokenId, seed)
  • Burned(sacrificeId, targetId, by)
  • Painted(tileId, by, mode, length)
  • Cleared(tileId, by)

Enough to power a live activity feed or analytics.

Ideas to build

Rarity explorers, holder galleries, paint and trace helpers, sales and activity bots, mosaic viewers, leaderboard tools, anything. It's all on-chain and yours to build on. If you ship something, share it with the community, we'd love to see it.

where the collection talks to itself

A holders-only town square, right here on pic2cells. Your avatar is a canvas you own, and the whole place looks like the collection in conversation. Not a Discord, a room of our own.

coming soon

the square is being built

While it is in the works, the studio is keeping a Discord open so holders have somewhere to gather. The square moves that home onto pic2cells for good.

this room is being set up

We are putting the final touches on this space for a proper launch. The canvas composer is open and ready right now, and the rest opens very soon.
