FRENT / Journal

One pixel art launchpad. Multiple EVM chains.

Create the art, launch the collection fully onchain, and discover which drops—and which chains—are actually moving.

We are building the next part of FRENT: an onchain pixel art editor and NFT collection launchpad that can work across multiple EVM chains. Artists will be able to create inside the editor or bring finished pixel art, prepare a collection, and launch it without turning the artwork into a pointer to somebody else's server.

The aim is not to add another generic mint form to the internet. It is to make one focused place where pixel artists can build properly onchain collections and collectors can discover launches across chains without keeping twelve explorers open like a very niche air-traffic controller.

From pixels to a collection

The editor is designed around the thing that matters: the artwork. A creator can draw pixel by pixel or import existing work, review how it resolves to a real pixel grid, and see what will be stored before launching anything.

FRENT then handles the collection structure around it. The pixel data, metadata, one public launch date and price, and collection logic are prepared as one verifiable onchain release. The creator should spend time on the character's eyes, not on remembering which contract argument comes seventh.

One launchpad, multiple EVM chains

FRENT started its pixel infrastructure around Robinhood Chain, but the launchpad is being built so that one network does not become the boundary of the product. We will introduce other EVM mainnets and testnets through the same creation flow as support becomes ready.

Each launch will still show its chain clearly. Multi-chain should make discovery easier, not make collectors guess where they are about to sign a transaction. Contract addresses, network details, mint activity, and collection rules need to remain visible and verifiable.

A mixed-chain view of what is hot

The public launchpad will bring collections from supported chains into one overview. Recent launches will sit beside collections currently attracting the most mint activity, regardless of which supported EVM network they use.

That also creates a more interesting signal above the collection level. If launches on one chain suddenly account for most recent mints, the platform can show it. Instead of declaring a chain “hot” because three people posted the same graph, we can look at what collectors are actually minting through FRENT.

Discovery without becoming a marketplace

This does not turn FRENT into another NFT marketplace. The focus remains creation, launch, and primary minting. The overview helps people find active drops and understand activity across chains; it is not an attempt to rebuild every secondary-market feature under a fresh navigation bar.

We want the launchpad to answer a few useful questions quickly: what just launched, what is being minted now, which collections are gaining momentum, and on which chain is that activity happening?

What comes next

We are now connecting the editor, collection factory, launch pages, and activity rankings into one coherent flow. More EVM chains will be introduced deliberately, with their mainnet and testnet configuration kept explicit instead of hidden behind a cheerful “multi-chain” badge.

The direction is simple: give pixel artists a serious onchain tool, make launches easy to inspect, and let actual mint activity show collectors where the energy is. One canvas, multiple chains, fewer tabs.
