LIGHT PAPER

Now paused!

Both 2016 and 2018 versions are now paused. Exploring the possibility of switching back to 2016 version, which seems a more valuable artifact. If there’s a meaningful way back all blocks bought in 2018 will be transferred back into the past. Stay tuned.

Buy pixels

Pixels are available in 10x10 pixel blocks at initial sale (USD price doubles every 10% of pixels sold). Pixels are also available from owners willing to sell. Owners define their own price in ETH. Once you buy an area of blocks, you can put an ad (image with a link and description) within that area, rent it out or sell it when the price goes up.
