# For Developers

**Welcome, builder.**

Whether you are taking your very first steps into Web3 or you are a seasoned dApp architect looking for production-grade patterns on WAX and beyond — you are in the right place.

Pixel Journey was born on the WAX Blockchain in 2023. We minted our Pixal PFPs in Spring 2024. For over **1,050 days** we have been building, learning, shipping, and refining in public. Everything we have learned — the hard-won patterns, the mistakes, the elegant solutions — is now being turned into the most welcoming, rigorous, and pixel-perfect developer education experience in Web3.

We believe the best way to explore **all of Web3** is not through scattered tutorials, but through a cohesive, story-driven journey that starts with real production systems (our own) and expands outward.

## 🧰 Your Primary Hands-On Path: PxDev Examples Vault

The single best place to start (or level up) is the brand-new **PxDev Examples Vault** inside PxLabs.

🔗 [Explore the PxDev Examples Vault →](https://docs.pixeljourney.xyz/pxlabs/px-dev-examples/)

This is our growing collection of **170+ educational code repositories**. In their completed form, every repo is a self-contained, production-quality quest that teaches you:

* Exact patterns we use in PxWallet, PxHot, PxMarket, PxStaking, and Px Packages
* Modern Next.js 15 + WharfKit + TypeScript stacks
* Verifiable on-chain mechanics, NFT/PFP systems, DeFi integrations, secure wallet architectures, cross-chain derivation, i18n, PWA resilience, automation, and professional engineering standards
* Why we made every decision — not just how to copy-paste code

All repositories follow our unified **Px Standards**, **Px Templates**, and **Px Design System**. Most are currently in private preview while we finish the final educational layers. Request access on GitHub or reach out on Discord — we happily grant early access to genuine builders.

## 📋 Complementary Deep Guides

While the Examples Vault gives you runnable, commented code you can clone and experiment with immediately, our Education section provides the broader context and ecosystem knowledge:

* [WAX / Antelope Developer Guides](https://docs.pixeljourney.xyz/education/antelope-ecosystem-guides/wax/developer-guides/)
* [Solana Developer Guides](https://docs.pixeljourney.xyz/education/solana-ecosystem-guides/developer-guides/)
* [EVM Developer Guides](https://docs.pixeljourney.xyz/education/evm-ecosystem-guides/developer-guides/)
* [Common Wallet & Security Guides](https://docs.pixeljourney.xyz/education/common-guides/wallets/)

These guides emphasize modern, future-proof tools (especially **Wharf Kit**), security best practices, and how everything connects back to Pixel Journey’s Pixal economy and multi-chain vision.

## 🧪 PxLabs & Foundational Infrastructure

For the bigger picture of how we are building sustainable, modular, multi-chain experiences:

* [PxLabs Overview](https://docs.pixeljourney.xyz/pxlabs/)
* [Px Packages & Px Portals Deep Dives](https://docs.pixeljourney.xyz/pxlabs/px-packages/)

Here you will find our philosophy on developer experience, modularity, offline resilience, shared state, security & trust, and the long-term architecture that powers every PxPortal.

## 🚀 How to Get Involved

* **Clone & Build**: Start with any quest in the PxDev Examples Vault that matches your current level.
* **Contribute**: Once repos are public, we welcome high-quality PRs, documentation improvements, and new example ideas.
* **Feedback & Early Access**: Join our Discord (Community Contribution channels unlock at level 10+) and tell us what you are building or what patterns you wish existed.
* **Stay Updated**: Follow [@PxJourney](https://x.com/PxJourney) and watch the GitHub org for new public releases.

We are not just building tools for ourselves. We are building the map so that the next generation of pixel-perfect Web3 creators can move faster and with more confidence than we ever could.

**From our 2023 WAX genesis to 170+ developer quests today — the journey continues with you.**

If you have questions, ideas, or want to collaborate on something specific, the Discord is the fastest way to reach the team and the community.

*Educational content only. Development involves real risks and responsibilities. Always DYOR, follow security best practices, and have fun building. Not financial advice.*
