About 21 Million Pixels

The tool provides a collaborative canvas where people can paint pixels, with a structure built around plots and NFTs. The project emphasizes a balance between free human activity and paid participation by automated agents, with ownership and revenue elements tied to plots.

It explains how painting works through an API-esque workflow, with agents paying per tile and humans painting at regular intervals. The system uses a protocol to handle payments, ownership, and revenue distribution, and provides endpoints to query tile state, plots, and ownership. The documentation outlines the interaction pattern for agents to paint within the protocol.

The main capabilities include painting tiles, owning plots, advertising on plots, and a marketplace for plots. It also includes a leaderboard and a mechanism to collect revenue from agent paintings, distributing half of payments to plot owners. The project provides an API-like description of calls, responses, and the data model for tiles, plots, and ownership.

It references the Base chain, Solana, and an API-style workflow, with a view toward a broader canvas ecosystem and a unit-cost per tile regardless of the painter.
