Where blockchain meets pixel art. Pixagram is a social network for pixel art that runs on its own public blockchain. Every artwork is stored fully on chain, and creators and curators are paid directly out of protocol inflation.
The chain is a fork of Hive, so the standard Hive RPC surface, tooling and libraries work out of the box. Mainnet has been live since 4 September 2026.

| Consensus | Delegated Proof of Stake, 3-second blocks |
| Tokens | PIXA (liquid), PXS (stable, pegged to $1 of PIXA), VESTS (staked) |
| Key prefix | PIX |
| Public RPC | https://api.pixagram.com |
| P2P seed | api.pixagram.com:2001 |
| Current release | hived 1.29.0, hardfork 29 active since block 402205 |
Pixagram has no passive yield by design. PXS interest and the vesting reward are both fixed at zero in consensus code. Rewards go to people who create, curate and run the network.

|---|---|
| Understand the chain and its code | pixagram — the blockchain node (hived), C++ |
| Run a witness | witness — minimal Docker setup that joins mainnet |
| Run a public API node | pixagram-node — hived, HAF, Hivemind, Jussi and TLS |
| See the reference deployment | alphanet — the stack behind api.pixagram.com |
| Publish a witness price feed | bigmac-feed — Go |
| Build an app in JavaScript | dpixa — RPC client library |
| Give an AI agent chain context | pixagram-skill — Claude skill with endpoints, tokens and differences from Hive |
Supporting infrastructure: haf and hivemind index the chain for social APIs. witness-status powers the live witness dashboard.

paph-js, a perceptual hash for detecting pixel-art plagiarism - On-device safety:
toxicity,nsfw,sanitizer - Keys and storage:

-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"condenser_api.get_dynamic_global_properties","params":[],"id":1}'Witnesses are elected by stake-weighted vote and produce blocks in turn. Protocol changes ship as hardforks that activate only after enough scheduled witnesses vote for them. Community projects are funded through the DPF (Decentralized Proposal Fund), which receives 15 % of inflation.
