Get started
Pxl.place is a "rPlace" or "pixel war" like experience on the blockchain. The novelty of the blockchain comes with the ability to own a pixel and use it as you wish.
How to get your first pixel?
To obtain your first pixel, there are two possibilities:
Mint an unowned pixel
Buy a pixel from a marketplace
Mint an unowned pixel
Start by connecting with your wallet on Pxl.place.
Then, click on one of the white pixels - you can zoom in with the mouse wheel or double-click for a more precise selection.
If it's available, you can then select a color from the palette at the bottom of the screen - this will be your pixel's initial color, but you can change it later.
You have two choices here:
"NOW": Execute the transaction immediately
"TO BUNDLE": Store this transaction in your cart to group several together and save on transaction fees.

Change the color of a pixel
To change the color of a pixel, you must own it.
First, click on one of your pixels.
Then, click on one of the colors in the palette at the bottom of the screen.
Unless you've selected a quick transaction option in the settings, a confirmation modal will appear:
Like for minting, you can choose to execute the change immediately (NOW) or add it to your transaction bundle (TO BUNDLE).
Transaction Bundle
The bundle allows you to store multiple color changes and/or pixel mints to execute all at once.
This makes it particularly useful for changing colors more quickly and saving on transaction fees.
You can have both color changes and mints in your bundle; there's no issue with that.
Queries about the bundle:
Executing the bundle may send two different transactions: One for color changes and one for mints.
It's impossible to execute and send your bundle if it contains more mints than the daily limit allows (cf. daily limit)
A mint in your bundle can be removed at any time if someone else was quicker to mint the same pixel
If just one transaction in your mint bundle is invalid (daily limit exceeded, trying to mint a pixel that's already been minted, etc.), all the mints will be cancelled.
Unlock and grid expansion
The pixel grid was designed to evolve. Only a portion of the central pixels is initially available.
But as the grid fills up, the edges are unlocked and become available.
Example: Let's take a maximum grid size of 1000x1000 pixels (i.e., 1 million pixels)
The initial size is set to 100x100 pixels (i.e., 10,000 pixels).
These pixels at the center of the grid.
Unlocking occurs when 50% of the grid is completed.
So the first unlock occurs when 5,000 pixels have been minted.
At each unlocking, 50 new pixels will be available on each side. T
he grid is now 200x200 pixels (i.e., 40,000 pixels).
When 50% of the grid is minted, or 20,000 pixels in total, a new unlocking occurs to unlock another 50 pixels on each side.
And so on until reaching the maximum size of 1000x1000 pixels.
For information on grid parameters depending on the network, visit this page in the documentation.
Minting price of a pixel
The price for minting a pixel is initially 0 ETH. With each unlock, the price increases by 0.001 ETH.
Daily limit
Each address has a daily mint limit. Every day, each address can mint up to 10 pixels.
Settings and options
In the upper left corner of the screen, you have access to the application settings.
Currently, two settings are available:
Transaction options: The action to take when you select a pixel and click on a color from the color palette:
None: Default setting, a modal appears giving you the choice each time to execute immediately or send to the bundle
Immediately: The modal is not displayed and an immediate transaction is sent to mint/change color
Bundle: The modal is not displayed and the transaction is sent to your bundle
Overlay options: A change in the grid display
None: Default setting, displays the grid as it's recorded on the blockchain.
Owned pixel: Activates an overlay that darkens the entire grid, except for your pixels. Useful for quickly finding your pixels.
Preview bundle: Activates an overlay that displays the transactions in your bundle on the grid.
