PXL DEX is a series of fully on-chain real time animations, where each pixel is a token in itself. PXL DEX is the first artwork within the PXL ecosystem, an ongoing work series to experiment with pixels as utility tokens. The collection consists of 256 NFTs that are deployed via a custom Smart Contract on the Ethereum Mainnet.
The NFTs can be minted for 0.5 ETH plus 0.000001 ETH per pixel. Each pixel is actually a PXL token and will initially be owned by the PXL DEX Smart Contract to be assigned to the minted NFT. PXL tokens can be withdrawn and deposited by the owner. The minter is allowed to mint up to 500.000 PXL tokens along with the NFT. Each Deck has an additional allowance of 500.000 PXL to be minted any time later. The allowance is bound to the NFT and will transfer along with the NFT ownership.
A single Deck can hold all available PXL tokens, there is no limit on the Smart Contract level. The only limitation is the GPU of the computer that displays the Deck.

The code has been written in GLSL (WebGL2) and JavaScript. It doesn't use any third-party libraries, but it makes use of GLSL Simplex noise and Perlin noise implementations by Stefan Gustavson and Ian McEwan (License) and fractional Brownian motion (Source).
The work has been tested on macOS (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and Windows (Chrome, Firefox, Brave), however the software is provided as is.
