1. Abstract

PixelAgent is a collection of 10,000 unique AI Agent pixel art NFTs deployed on Ethereum. Each PixelAgent is programmatically generated from a set of AI-themed traits and stored on-chain as an ERC-721 token. Holders earn the $PIX governance token through staking, participate in DAO governance, and gain access to the growing PixelAgent ecosystem.

Unlike typical NFT projects, minting requires passing an AI mini game — an on-chain gating mechanism that blocks bots and ensures every PixelAgent is owned by a real human. Randomized tokenId assignment via Fisher-Yates prevents trait sniping.

2. Motivation

The NFT space is plagued by three problems: bot-dominated mints, predictable tokenId assignment that allows sniping of rare traits, and projects that dump tokens on communities with no real utility. PixelAgent addresses all three:

Bot prevention — ECDSA signature gating: a backend AI game must be completed before a valid signature is issued. Bots cannot pass.
Fair randomization — Fisher-Yates on-chain shuffle ensures no one can predict which tokenId they receive.
Real utility — $PIX token with staking, DAO governance, marketplace fee discounts, and buyback-and-burn mechanics.

3. The Art

Every PixelAgent is a 24×24 pixel grid rendered at 480×480px. The aesthetic draws from cyberpunk and AI culture: dark screen faces, LED rectangular eyes, circuit patterns, and neon glow particles.

Trait Categories

Face / Body — 5 types: Orange Bot (50%), Cyan Drone (20%), Pink Hacker (15%), Stealth (10%), Gold Core (5%)
Head Gear — 10 variants including Antenna, Neural Crown, Satellite Dish, Helmet, LED Band
Eye Accessory — 7 variants: VR Goggles, Laser Sight, Scan Lines, Targeting Reticle, Matrix Display
Mouth Panel — 6 LED panel variants: Data Stream, Error Display, Speaker Grille, LED Bar
Extras — 6 extras: Earring, Circuit Badge, Badge Chain, Energy Orb, Halo
Background — 8 dark cyberpunk color variants

Total unique combinations exceed 50 million. All 10,000 are fully unique.

4. Smart Contract

The PixelAgent contract is an ERC-721 with the following extensions:

ERC721Enumerable — on-chain enumeration for snapshot / airdrop
ERC2981 — royalty standard (1% on secondary sales)
ReentrancyGuard — prevents re-entrancy attacks on mint and withdraw
Ownable — admin controls for signer, sale toggle, reveal, URI

Mint Flow

User connects wallet and starts the AI mini game via the frontend.
Backend verifies game completion and issues an ECDSA signature for that wallet address.
User calls mint(signature) on-chain with 0.005 ETH.
Contract verifies signature against the registered signer address.
A random tokenId is assigned via Fisher-Yates shuffle. No predictable IDs.

Reveal Mechanism

NFTs show a mystery box image until the collection is fully minted. After the last mint, a 3-day countdown begins (revealUnlocksAt = soldOutAt + 3 days). Only after this delay can the owner call reveal(baseURI) to publish the final IPFS metadata. This prevents last-minute sniping of rare tokens.

5. $PIX Token

$PIX is the ERC-20 governance and utility token of the PixelAgent ecosystem. Maximum supply: 1,000,000,000 $PIX. No pre-mine. No private sale. Fair launch.
