Monthly Highlights — Hard Work Pays Off

Hello everybody,

this month was hectic and we were heads-down developing, strategizing, and closing new ARTnerships. Luckily it’s time to breathe out, and we are already excited about August!👊

Let’s jump into our monthly digest of July!

Tech Development done right

Our dev team was on fire this month. Enough said, just look at what was delivered:

📍MP4 support! From now on our artists and collectors can enjoy full video experience in the gallery. The same 35MB rule applies, as usual, so let’s storm the gallery with brand new quality content, now with video and sound!

📍Stats on the front page. Now you can see the gallery’s all-time progress on the main page, in real-time. For those curious at the moment of publication, the stats are as following: Published Artworks — 750, Creators — 102, Artworks sold — 341, Total earned — 1957 EOS and 28911269 PIXEOS.

📍Email notifications improvements and a bunch of bug fixing.

These and other small updates on the Gallery Version 0.9.2.12 — Leonardo “Every frame a painting”. Cheers, dev team!

New ARTnership with White Page Gallery/s

White Page Gallery/s artists know for sure what inclusivity and new digital opportunities mean for the artists and collectors. Their efforts are directed to offering artists of their network exhibition opportunities and professional assistance without the aim of profit. Our initial integration will start with the help of Domenico Barra, also known as Altered_Data. Together we will be addressing the problems of monetization of digital art, education, and onboarding of the artists who are not familiar with blockchain. More details in this article. Exciting times!👏

Migration to the UX Network

For all the Pixeos users, HODLers and supporters — things will only get better, believe us!

What does this migration mean in a nutshell:

  • Pixeos is building the most innovative art token ecosystem never before seen in the art world. The Art Coin is coming!!! A balanced and vertical economy where every actor plays an important role and gets rewarded. Incentives all around for artists, collectors, and stakers.
  • Pixeos becomes fully compliant, so all the gates are open for us to enter the real art industry. Mass adoption alert!
  • Art will be more protected. The artists’ verification process will be enhanced, leaving no space for counterfeits or impostors.
