👽The Pixal PFPs
Our first source of Pixels
To kick off Pixel Journey’s first season, we prepared a PFP drop using the NFTHive PFP-Drop tools on the WAX blockchain.
Link to our sold-out OG Pixal PFP drop:
Our Pixal PFPs launched with a total supply of 10,000 mints. Each was minted for 35 WAX (~$2 at the time) in WAXP or other accepted secondary tokens. The collection features ~323 different traits across 10 trait groups.
Why the Pixal PFPs Matter for Your Pixel Journey
The Pixal PFPs are far more than just collectibles — they are your gateway into the entire Pixel Journey economy, governance, and educational experience. Holding a Pixal gives you direct access to Pixel Ingredients, staking rewards, airdrops, and community roles. This is hands-on Web3 education: learning about traits, utility, probability, and sustainable tokenomics while building something meaningful together. Every Pixal you hold or craft with strengthens your connection to the 1050+ day journey and prepares you for future PxPackages-powered experiences and the PxLearn Portal.
The 10 Trait Categories
Among the traits we included references, tributes, and easter eggs to ~42 projects active in the Web3 space around the time of creation (Autumn 2023). The example above shows a headband/gold-necklace combo referencing the PocketPeople universe and their early Pixel PFPs.
You can find many of the featured ecosystem projects in our Ecosystem Partners section.
Certain trait groups (especially WaxRocks and PixelPets) make holders eligible for special airdrops. The WaxRocks trait in particular grants access to our first phase of PixelDAO governance.
The Pixal PFPs are the foundation of our Pixel Journey economy. Up to 80% (8,000) of the Pixals are designed to be recycled into PixelPacks. These can be staked for $PXJ or unpacked into single-pixel ingredients used for future crafting, upgrades, and special blends.
