The Derivatives project, originally known as the pixel-avatars project is created initially to allow the minting of a derived Pixel Avatar ERC721 NFT token generated based on the traits of the original DeveloperDAO genesis NFTs; similar to how Loot has its own derivatives projects.

It was later renamed to a derivatives project to include initiatives that will form a roadmap beyond the initial pixel avatars token.

User by the name of Neoc id the DeveloperDao Discord was offering to do an avatar versions of the developer dao NFT genesis token. Another user goldzulu spotted the potential and suggested a project which upon some initial consensus was put to lead the project. Officially the project kicked off on the 12th September 2021 via an online discord meeting hosted by goldzulu.

There are three different areas in which devs can be actively involved in.

This is where solidity smart contracts are being planned, created, tested and deployed. It also covers IPFS, Oracles and generally, anything that is supporting the Web3 frontends.

The web3 frontend that will support users in minting, previewing and other utilities and apps further down in the roadmap including possibly NFT Games and Metaverses.

Where the artwork design and generation is being done. Initially it will be a unique artwork "component" for each of the different possible traits.

• Derived NFT Previewer
• Derivatives Minting Contract
• Creation of Artworks needed for the Pixel Avatars
