The PIX – EVIL

Welcome to The PIX!

The PIX are a generative pixel art NFT project on Tezos, a light, energy efficient and fast blockchain.

The EGGS and the PIX themselves are NFT, non-fungible tokens. That means the information about a PIX is stored directly on the blockchain. While the picture itself is stored in a big collective storage called IPFS, you will be able to recreate your PIX even if the file disappears, based on its data.
Every minted PIX displays the whole data about its traits, body parts and color palettes.

PIXEGGS are eggs containing a PIX. By burning a PIXEGG (using hicetnunc feature), you ensure to receive a unique 1/1 PIX!
But that’s not all! You can supercharge the next PIXEGG you’ll burn, by sending $EVIL or $DARK tokens to:

sacrifice.tez

The process is:
– Get an egg (buy it, get a gift for your birthday, enter a raffle…)
– Optional: Sacrifice $EVIL or $DARK by sending it to sacrifice.tez
– Burn your egg on hicetnunc
– Wait until we hatch it. You’ll receive it in your wallet!

WHERE TO FIND THE PIX?

You can find The PIX on hicetnunc.xyz and objkt.com, two awesome NFT marketplaces on Tezos.

There are two profiles:
– PIXEGG holds the eggs that you have to burn in order to create your PIX.
– THE PIX holds the index of every 1/1 character created from the egg.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

$EVIL and $DARK are tokens created under the FA2 token protocol.
FA2 allows to create tokens, fungible, like $EVIL and $DARK, or non-fungible, as PIXEGGS and the PIX themselves.

How to buy $EVIL or $DARK?

You have to buy it on Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Quipuswap. Quipuswap allows to trade any FA2 Tezos token together including $EVIL and $DARK.
Quipuswap also provides a very good analytics page, enabling study of those token prices, volume, operations and liquidity.

– BUY $DARK (Dark Evil Coin)

We chose the Tezos blockchain because minting and transfering more than 1000 PIXs at once would cost a huge amount of energy, thus gas fees, on Ethereum.
Tezos allows to do that almost instantly, for a very low amount, even for hundreds of characters.

No more spoil!

The system

How does it even work?

It is simple: we have a hatch engine.
The hatch engine will first fetch the list of transactions and match sacrificed $EVIL and $DARK with burnt eggs.

/!\ Important : always sacrifice your $EVIL or $DARK before burning the egg. Sacrificed tokens are only taken into accounts for next egg burns.

What are the main generation rules?

First of all, your PIX will receive a gender.

There are 3 genders:

Man and Woman (40% chances) will make your character have male or female traits. That includes hair, eyes, top cloth and accessories, and some palettes.
Non binary (20% chances) is much more rare and will make your character have any possible traits mixed together: you can have a non binary PIX with a male body, female dress and haircut, and male pants for example.

Then, your PIX starts being built by the engine.

Body parts are randomly generated.
Some body parts always happen, like the actual body or head (except maybe sometimes… you’ll find out)
Accessories have 30% chance to happen each.
Once the engine determined that your PIX will have an accessory, it will choose one item of this kind of accessory.
As of beta version, every accessory have the same chances to happen once you’re supposed to have one.
Please note that $EVIL or $DARK may add to the chance of spawning some accessories. The list is secret yet.
example: 30% chances to have a hat, then 4 possible hats, with 25% chances each.
Special heads have 1% chance to happen. Once a special head is supposed to appear, your character is guaranteed to have one, but there’s another roll to determine which special head the PIX will receive. Some special heads are more rare than the other. Who will receive the tezzard head?
Special heads replace your PIX head.
Pets are in. Your PIX has a low chance to have between 1 and 3 pets. The pets themselves have many heads and bodies that can combine together. A very rare perk that gets boosted by $EVIL or $DARK makes your character have between 1 and 64 pets.
Each part has its own custom color palette. Some elements are using the palette set for another element. As of the beta, the head shares the body color palette. Some element have a random chance to be body-colored, and a random chance to have their own color, like devil horns. Some elements have a custom color palette that can only get chosen for this element, like the ‘green eyes’ palette.
Secret rules: Background, aura, frame.
There are chances to get naked or topless of course. The bare minimum is a topless character with bottom underpants.
After the whole generation is complete, a new roll enabling your PIX to receive the EPIC RARE TRAITS happens. The formula is as follows:

5% base + ($EVIL sacrificed x20)% + ($DARK sacrificed x20)%

In a general way, the cap is 1 $EVIL + 1 $DARK.
You receive 1% chance of rolling EVIL or DARK traits by sending 0.01, so you have 100% chances for each aspect when you send 1 entire token of each.
This is the “wall”. If your PIX passes that test, then you’ll have other rolls for very rare traits and may end with at least a special trait.
Those special traits replace some already rolled traits.

Duos
If you burn 2 EGGS at once, your PIX will be a duo. Both eggs will appear on the same window.
If you burn more than 2 EGGS at once, there are 30% chances that a couple appears each time there are a pair. (if you burn 20 eggs, couples will try to form 10 times)

FAQ

I still don’t have my PIX but I burnt the PIX egg, what’s happening you scamzord? Did I get fooled again?
Pix hatch process is manual, meaning when we trigger it, all eggs that are waiting to spawn get created and sent to people.
Where’s Doja Cat?
Maybe Doja Cat 1/1 PIX exists, maybe not. You’ll never know.
Are you going to release of grid of what’s rare or not? So that I know if my PIX is worth a penny or a lot.
No. PIX aren’t base on a forced scarcity parameter. They are made to be a combination of many parameters. Rarity is born from the combination. There are rare traits. Also there are EPIC RARE TRAITS.
Do you need to send the eggs at a precise address?
No. You burn the egg using hicetnunc burn feature, the burn tab. Eggs are made to be burnt so that the PIX gets created. What you have to send at a precise address is the $EVIL and $DARK tokens, and you send them to sacrifice.tez before burning your eggs.
Can a PIX have both dark and evil traits? Is it useful to send both before burning an egg or they can only get one of them?
Yes! A PIX can have both dark and evil traits and those are different. You can choose whatever to send. Most of the special traits have an EVIL and a DARK factor.
There’s no point in sending more than 1 $EVIL and 1 $DARK to sacrifice because your PIX is already maxed with that amount.

Roadmap

This is currently the BETA (V0). Each version will bring, apart from new features, a new set of accessories, traits, palettes and body parts. The system is made so that old and new PIX are compatible. That will be useful when PIX Battle happens.

V1 will add PERKS and PIX VIEWER, an application to check your perks and any perks from any other PIX by providing OBJKT ID or PIX ID.
V1 will also launch with new eggs with different rarities impacting generation of those new assets: common egg, rare egg, epic egg, and chaotic evil egg.
V1 will be ready Q4 2022 at best.

V2 will add PIX BATTLE! You can forget physical fights and imagine that this is a style battle. The PERKS will be taken into account in those epic battles. First version of those battles will only be local then next version will record results on the blockchain.
V2 will be ready Q1 2023 at best.

V3 will add PIX REBIRTH! Allowing you to send your little PIX to DEATH itself and see what it gets reborn into.
