Pixel for Ethereum developers

Pixel is an executable post-quantum-class UTXO lab with Proof of Light Sequence — Gate A on a published path to L1 / ULA bridge / diversity-enforced sovereignty (PATH.md).
Run it today — then pick a gate: harden consensus, finish the verifier, or mirror your stack in (SISO).

Full builder map: BUILDERS.md. Claim only what the current gate list allows.

Why look

• PQ-class signatures now — hash-OTS; swap path to ML-DSA behind the same API
• Sequencer model you’ll recognize — PoLS ≈ ordered reveal without hashpower
• JSON-RPC — pix_protocolInfo, pix_verifyChain, pix_getBalance, …
• USDC lock surface — contracts/PixelUsdcLock.sol → One.LockFeeder
• ULA out — shine attestations to ETH without becoming an L2
• SISO — keep your Solidity/TS app; shine continuity in — no dual product

Try in 30 seconds

bun install
bun run test:all

You should see settlement, Kindling, lock feeder, and bootstrap selftests pass.

Three 1-hour projects

1. Foundry — test PixelUsdcLock + MockUSDC; emit Locked → TypeScript receipt
2. ULA — freeze a createAttestation() fixture; verify in Solidity (replace stub)
3. Mirror — take any existing dapp frontend; comeTowardLight with digest + IPFS mirror

Aesthetic is not marketing

Abstract Expressionist framing = rendering thesis: commitment → light → color.
Maps to pending → inclusion → finality.

Next hooks for ETH ecosystem

• Restaked sequencer quorums for PoLS committees
• Blob/DA anchoring of Pixel light proofs on L1
• AA wallets that show human Kindling receipts (no gas theater)
• PQ migration lab: OTS → Dilithium/ML-DSA behind the same tx surface
