🧭 THE LOST PIXEL GEM — Experience Hub

One place for the whole experience — sculpt, fuse and grow a 100% on‑chain gem whose value lives in its metadata.

Every entry of the ecosystem + every editing tool, explained. Start anywhere.

THE ENTRIES

🔥
Claim (Burn → Migrate)

Burn your original gem and claim the same token id as a 100% on‑chain version. Every wallet gets 6 PIXELS on its first claim. You pay only gas.

Open Claim →
🧪
Mutation Lab

The studio where value is built: buy & burn PIXELS for voxels, fuse gems to grow Z‑depth, sculpt the face, and write on‑chain — the metadata updates live. Holders only.

Open Lab →
3D Voxel Editor & Viewer

Sculpt in a real 24×24×Z voxel space, or open any gem read‑only. Reads the token's on‑chain record live. Smooth pro navigation, TV view, first‑person & 3rd‑person fly.

Open Viewer →
🎮
Playground (Sandbox)

A free, no‑wallet mirror of the Lab with unlimited demo PIXELS. Learn every tool — fusion, layers, the editor — before doing it for real. Nothing is saved.

🖼️
Gallery

Browse the 10,000 gems with real rarity + on‑chain traits. Open any token's live art, TV view and 3D visualizer.

🔺
Value Pyramid

The deflation, live: burn pools, sacrificed gems and PIXELS holders — scarcity engineered by fire, read straight from L1.

Open Pyramid →
🛒
PIXELS Shop

Buy PIXELS at a fixed 0.00017 ETH each. Every PIXEL = one more permanent voxel you can burn into a gem — locked value, on‑chain forever.

THE EDITING TOOLS — explained

The gem is a voxel volume of 24 × 24 × Z — a vertical 24×24 face you paint, with depth Z that grows through fusion (Lv0 = ×1, each level +1 Z → Lv1 = ×2 …, Lv8 apex = ×8, MAX = ×16). Your capacity is 24 free voxels + 1 per burned PIXEL. Everything you sculpt is written on‑chain by mutate() (it rewrites your voxels; the gem's identity — rarity, city, weather — is preserved by the contract). Here is every tool:

Build tools

➕ Add
Places a voxel. Click a face to place on top of it, or use the WASD cursor for exact placement.
🎨 Paint
Recolors an existing voxel without adding or removing — refine the palette in place.
➖ Remove
Deletes a voxel (also Shift+click). Undo any mistake instantly.
🌈 Chromatic wheel
A full HSV color wheel + swatches + recent colors — pick any of millions of colors.
🖼️ Image → voxels
Upload an image; it's resampled to 24×24 and stamped onto the current layer.
📦 Load .vox
Import a MagicaVoxel .vox model into your gem's volume.
⬇ Export .vox
Download your model as a .vox to reuse in any voxel software.
🎛️ Pro editor
Open the full studio for silhouette brushes — Box · Line · Sphere · Square · Circle — layers, grow/shrink and more.

Layers & fusion (the Z‑axis)

Z‑layer ladder
Depth = level + 1: Lv0 = 24×24×1, Lv1 = ×2, … up to Lv8 apex = ×8, then merge two apexes → MAX 24×24×16. Click a layer to bring its face to the front.
🧬 Fuse
Burn up to 8 gems into a base. Their PIXELS capacity sums into yours and their faces stack behind — written on‑chain in one flow.
🔥 Burn PIXELS
Each PIXEL burned = +1 permanent voxel capacity, placeable anywhere. Locked forever = value added to the metadata.
Front‑face select
Choose which layer is the 2D image the token shows; by default the newest art sits on top.

Navigation & views

🖱️ Orbit / Zoom
Drag to orbit, mouse wheel to zoom — smooth, inertial and precise (professional damping).
⌨️ WASD fly
Glide the camera with WASD + Q/E — eased acceleration, no pointer‑lock. Arrows work too.
▶ PLAY & 👾 3rd‑person
Fly through the gem, or pilot a flying‑pixel avatar in third person.
📺 On‑chain TV
Reads the token's live on‑chain image/SVG (like an explorer) with gallery arrows to browse gems.
🎯 Center · 🔄 360 · ⟲ Reset
Frame the model, auto‑orbit broadcast, or reset the view — one tap.
📊 On‑chain data
A collapsible readout of Canvas size, PIXELS capacity, placeable cubes, voxels painted and level — straight from the chain.
The read‑only viewer is tamper‑proof. When you open a gem from its link, the editing tools are hidden — visitors can orbit, zoom and fly, but can never modify the model. Only the owner can write, and only with their own signed transaction.

DO IT FOR REAL — the flow

  1. Claim your gem (burn → mint the on‑chain version + 6 PIXELS).
  2. Buy PIXELS (0.00017 ETH each) and burn them into your gem for voxel capacity.
  3. Fuse gems to grow the Z‑axis (each fused gem = +1 layer, its capacity summed in).
  4. Sculpt the face/layers with the editing tools above.
  5. Write on‑chain — the metadata (image, traits, capacity) updates live on every marketplace, forever.
Start in the 🎮 Playground (free, no wallet) — then build for real in the 🧪 Mutation Lab.
