Moonplace

Moonplace is a 10k NFT collection on the Arbitrum Nova network that is modeled after the famous r/place. In this collection each NFT is a 10×10 array of 100 pixels that are programmable on-chain to display whatever image the owner sets. The collection of all 10k NFTs will be available for viewing (and minting and updating) on a giant canvas.

How to mint MoonPlaces?

At 11PM UTC on Jan 27, in approximately 24 hours after this post was made, we will enable the contract for minting and update this post with a link to the website. Anyone may mint as many plots of pixels as they want. To mint the user has to burn 100 MOONs per NFT, which will be sent to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD. One million pixels will burn one million moons <dr_evil.png>. The website will provide a tool for minting multiple contiguous parcels in a point and click way.

How does it work?

MoonPlace is an ERC721 contract with additional functionality. Each NFT contains on-chain color data associated with each of its 100 pixels. The pixel color data can be updated by its owner using the update function of the smart contract – the The website will provide a web interface for this functionality.

Why make this?

This project gives MOON owners a chance to own a programmable piece of real estate that will be linked in the MOON wiki and sidebar. It demonstrates the possibilities of the very low cost of on-chain storage and operations using Arbitrum Nova. And it was not planned at all but the timing of this project lines up almost perfectly with Arbitrum Nova being added to Opensea, so your MoonPlaces will be immediately tradable on the world’s largest NFT marketplace:

About

It’s simple – 1 Million pixels divided into 10,000 tiles (1 tile = 100 pixels). To buy a tile you have to burn 100 Moons. MoonPlace is inspired by r/Place and http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com while adding Web3 functionality bringing blockchain and decentralization to the base idea. Users who mint pixels and tiles are the true and only owner of them retain ownership: even if this website shuts down, the pixels NFTs will still exist on the Arbitrum Nova blockchain forever! And anyone can make new website that displays the pixels.
