ArtGridz by Decentraplace offers an innovative Image Storage Solution for NFTs, automating reward mechanisms, enabling on-chain art creation, DeFi games, and ensuring artwork permanence, without third-party involvement.

Welcome to ArtGridz by Decentraplace Studios

ArtGridz represents a revolution in Token Engineering and offers a novel Image Storage Solution for NFTs, exclusively relying on blockchain technology without any involvement of third parties.

ArtGridz originated as Decentr/Place, initially conceptualized as an r/Place clone for the Web3 community in April 2023. With over 200 beta testers, we meticulously shaped our user experience (UX) and user interface (UI), not only refining our on-chain stored Pixel Canvas but also developing a dynamic ecosystem around our token. Our ecosystem includes various pixelated DeFi games that incentivize continuous participation. Following the update to ArtGridz, our features and utility have significantly expanded.

We have successfully automated reward and growth mechanisms within ArtGridz, introducing APY-boosting "DeFi-Gridz" and the new "CustomGridz" subsystem. Users can now create art directly on the blockchain and monetize their creations on the world's first on-chain NFT market. ArtGridz strictly adheres to blockchain technology, enhancing censorship resistance and ensuring the permanence of artworks for future generations.

Our gamification system, AccessPass, referral features, and proof-of-activity guide users through the platform, gradually introducing them to its features and incentivizing participation. Currently operating on the Base Sepolia Testnet, we have conducted cross-chain tests on various networks to ensure compatibility and performance, with Arbitrum & Optimism emerging as top-performing chains out of 6 blockchains which we put to the test both on mainnet & testnet.

Decentraplace has evolved into a dApp development studio dedicated to maximum trustlessness and zero off-chain data usage. ArtGridz exemplifies our commitment to these values, promoting freedom and preserving the ethos of blockchain technology.

Recent updates from Decentr/Place to ArtGridz were implemented over the last two months, focusing on enhancing onboarding processes and implementing a whitelisting mechanism. Behind the seemingly simple pixel art canvases lies a sophisticated system of token burns, automated NFT artwork finalization & listing, and revenue sharing mechanisms. The project is fully automated, ensuring seamless operation even in our absence.

We previously participated as Decentraplace in #gg19 at Web3Social and Web3 Community & Education, gaining recognition from Mask Network.
