Pixagram, a blockchain-based social network built on the Layer-1 Pixa blockchain, announced it will cover network fees for up to 250 new user accounts daily through the end of 2026. The program allows creators to register free @usernames and join the platform's on-chain community without purchasing cryptocurrency.
New account registration normally costs around 20 PIXA. Under the offer, Pixagram covers this fee for eligible users who complete one-time phone verification to limit bot abuse. Once registered on-chain, each @username serves as both an online identity and wallet address.
Platform Features
Pixagram operates as a decentralized social network where posts, votes, and comments are recorded as signed blockchain transactions. The platform does not display advertisements and does not require users to purchase cryptocurrency to participate.
The platform stores pixel artwork directly on-chain within posts as lossless images that can render up to 4K resolution in multiple formats. New accounts receive a starter delegation of Resource Credits to cover posting and voting activity from day one.
Reward Structure
Pixagram uses a Proof-of-Brain mechanism that allocates rewards based on user activity rather than computational work. According to the platform, 70 percent of newly issued PIXA is allocated to community-voted content, with 60 percent distributed to post authors and 40 percent to curators after seven days.
Authors can earn Pixa Power, which determines voting weight and supports governance participation. Direct on-chain art sales are scheduled to launch in 2027.
Technical Details
Built on the Hive codebase with Steem lineage, the Pixa blockchain started from a clean genesis block and produces a new block every three seconds. While application interfaces can hide posts from view, transaction records cannot be erased from the chain. Pixagram uses PAPH-X, an open-source perceptual fingerprint system, to check for duplicate artwork.
Pixagram is developed by Pixagram AG (Zug, Switzerland) and operated by Pixa Rex S.A. (Panama City, Panama). New users can register at Pixagram.com.
