PIXEL

PIXEL is an application designed to promote and gamify financial literacy for the pre-teens and teens. As children learn to save and manage their money, NFTs are unlocked when savings goals are met.

3 out of 4 teens lack knowledge and confidence in personal finance, while 73% also want to increase their understanding of money matters. And experts in financial literacy say that hands-on money management experience is key, and particularly savings accounts help children learn about saving and spending. But, how do you get a child interested in finance? How do you make the learning process fun? There are many financial literacy apps for kids, but they lack connecting to what pre-teens and teens are interested in. Pixel aims to connect finance to things that kids are ACTUALLY interested in – games (especially video games)! Pixel gamifies financial literacy to truly make learning about finance fun – in fact, you may even forget you're learning when you’re using Pixel.

Teens can browse their NFT collection and swap them on the open marketplace, learning the core fundamentals of market making. NFTs are stored in their Ethereum wallet address and can be imported and used in various metaverse and decentralized games popular among teens, incentivizing them to continue to save so they can unlock more great NFTs. PIXEL integrates with any bank’s mobile digital banking application. Parents have full visibility and control over their child’s accounts, and Pixel, to help monitor and encourage their teens to save.

PIXEL was chosen as a semifinalist for the Best DeFi Project in Hack to the Future 4 - a global hackathon igniting a world of financial sustainability, inclusion, and empowerment.
