Get your fingers cheesed up with PixelPuffs

PixelPuffs
6 min readNov 12, 2021

10.000 collectible NFT’s designed with a meticulous eye for details on the VeChain blockchain.

PixelPuffs were created with love using sticky cheese puff fingers on a touchpad. And a mouse. And a keyboard. The project is driven by long term and highly loyal VeChain community members, and will yield a maximum of 10000 collectible NFT’s. Those not minted will be burned.

Something to suit every palate

The character is inspired by the deliciously cheese flavored corn puffs found in the isles packed with snacks in your local grocery store. Some find this flavor highly offensive, which is why this collection is packed with other flavor and flavorless spices; a combination of bodies, colors, multiple assets, eyes and hair makes up for a collection to suit all tastes.

All NFT’s are stored on the VeChain blockchain as VIP-181 tokens, and range from rare to absolute legendary.

How can I cheese up my NFT collection?

PixelPuffs don’t want to waste too much energy, hence why the team made the minting process as easy as possible.

PixelPuffs will be hosted on the new marketplace Vefam, offering 0% marketplace fee. This marketplace is developed by the same guys who created the VPunks ecosystem and the VPU token. This is a marketplace made for the community with the love for VeChain.

We will also get a dApp icon in the VeChain Thor wallet to take you directly to the PixelPuffs minting page. Or, if you use Sync or some other VeChain wallet, you can go directly to the minting page through https://www.vefam.com/.

You will be the first to know when we got our dApp icon ready to be smashed with cheesy fingers. We promise!

What about the whitelist- and public sale?

You can already just mark your calendar for the 18th of November. Cancel your dinner plans with your mom. This is going to be an epic day you won’t miss. I promise you. Puffs over mom’s spaghetti any day!

The public sale will be 4 PM UTC on the 18th of November, and the whitelist sale 4 hours prior, 1 PM UTC on the 18th of November. The public sale will last for 14 days or til it’s sold out. Any PixelPuffs remaining will be burned and forgotten. The whitelist sale allows you to mint 1 per address, and the publicsale is unlimited but got a block limit at 20 mints per block.

Can I get whitelisted?

There are three ways to be Whitelisted:
1. You were originally whitelisted for VPunks. If you were whitelisted and/or if your name is in Red, your wallet will automatically be added to the Whitelist Database for PixelPuffs.
2. We really like VPunks! Hold a VPunk in your wallet when the snapshot is taken, 17th of November at 12pm UTC. You will need to have at LEAST 1 VPunk UNLISTED in order to qualify.
3. You can win a spot on the whitelist participating our discord giveaway.

If you follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/PixelPuffs_NFT) or Discord (http://discord.gg/QhjEhexCWX) you can be one of the lucky people to win a free PixelPuff + many other really good prizes before the mint even has started.

The 1 million VET giveaway

Yes, you read that correctly, and minds have already been puffed. To celebrate the launch of Vefam Marketplace, where PixelPuffs are exclusively minted, we are giving 1 million VET back to the community.

Giveaways are based on tiers, which are milestone markers for the amount of VET that will be given away. Please see the chart below.

50% mint completion:
500,000 VET will automatically be allocated from the Smart Contract and will be set aside for the parameters shown in the graphic.

100% mint completion:
1,000,000 VET will automatically be allocated from the Smart Contract and will be set aside for the parameters shown in the graphic.

What does top minter mean?
The top 30 minters will all be guaranteed prizes as seen in the graphic based on the Tier hit (50%+ mint completion or 100% mint completion). Top minters will simply be pulled directly from the Smart Contract and get prizes distributed to the corresponding wallet addresses. Furthermore, just by minting any amount you will also get a random chance to be airdropped 5k or 10k VET depending on the mint completion tier.

Example Tier 1:
Someone mints 300 PixelPuffs (and is the Top Minter) and we don’t mint out but cross the 50% mark, they will be given 100k VET for Tier 1. Same logic for the next 29 minters.

Example Tier 2:
Someone mints 300 PixelPuffs (and is the Top Minter) and we DO mint out and hit 100% mark, they will be given 200k VET for Tier 2. Same logic for the next 29 minters.

Please note that 1 million VET is the maximum total allocation potential; 500k VET is added after 50% and another 500k added after 100% mint completion.
