PixelChain Academy is a 2D browser-based pixel-art adventure that turns blockchain concepts into an interactive learning journey.
Players connect their Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.) via a secure Firebase-backed “Sign in with Solana” flow.
Once inside, your pixel-art avatar becomes a farmer on a vibrant farm map, working the fields to uncover and master blockchain fundamentals:
- Blocks & Transactions
- Smart Contracts
- Nonces & Gas Fees
- NFT Metadata
Along the way, you’ll tackle bite-sized learning challenges—quizzes, interactive tutorials, and consensus puzzles—embedded directly into the farm.
- Quizzes to test your knowledge
- Interactive on-chain tutorials
- Consensus puzzles to solidify concepts
Completing a challenge triggers an Anchor program on Solana Devnet to mint a unique cosmetic NFT (farm outfits, badges, or tools) via Metaplex CPI. These NFTs appear in your connected wallet and unlock special in-game visuals or abilities, turning your new skills into tangible rewards.
