Update9: Minted out! We're working on turning on censorship capabilities and adding a few other tweaks like img upload for easy updating - stay tuned.

Update2: Sorry server is overwhelmed, looking to upgrade now.

Update3: I think maybe arbitrum rpc is blocking calls now. Maybe we need to cache map instead of hitting their rpc so much...

Update4: --

Update5: Looking for help with display of pixel map, if you're familiar with react and web3 endpoints:

Update6: Sorry! We are working on fixing the front-end. Not exactly sure what caused it, but not long after launch the map stopped loading for everyone - dev is looking at it now and hopefully fixed soon™️

Update7: Site is mostly up, some more optimizations incoming soon. I am also going to take the site down for a few min shortly to migrate to a bigger server. About 40% minted out at 2pm EST on Jan 28, still time to mint a few if you want.

Update8: Server is upgraded and website mostly fixed, thanks for bearing with us. If you get cloudflare try to refresh. Only about 8% of tiles left available to mint ⬆️

Moonplace

Moonplace is a 10k NFT collection on the Arbitrum Nova network that is modeled after the famous r/place. In this collection each NFT is a 10x10 array of 100 pixels that are programmable on-chain to display whatever image the owner sets. The collection of all 10k NFTs will be available for viewing (and minting and updating) on a giant canvas.

How to mint MoonPlaces?

At 11PM UTC on Jan 27, in approximately 24 hours after this post was made, we will enable the contract for minting and update this post with a link to the website. Anyone may mint as many plots of pixels as they want. To mint the user has to burn 100 MOONs per NFT, which will be sent to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD. One million pixels will burn one million moons <dr\_evil.png>. The website will provide a tool for minting multiple contiguous parcels in a point and click way.

How does it work?

MoonPlace is an ERC721 contract with additional functionality. Each NFT contains on-chain color data associated with each of its 100 pixels. The pixel color data can be updated by its owner using the update function of the smart contract - the The website will provide a web interface for this functionality.

Why make this?

This project gives MOON owners a chance to own a programmable piece of real estate that will be linked in the MOON wiki and sidebar. It demonstrates the possibilities of the very low cost of on-chain storage and operations using Arbitrum Nova. And it was not planned at all but the timing of this project lines up almost perfectly with Arbitrum Nova being added to Opensea, so your MoonPlaces will be immediately tradable on the world’s largest NFT marketplace:
