Bixel is an innovative AI NFT generator that provides a unique opportunity for Binance users to generate custom artwork using artificial intelligence. By submitting text prompts or uploading images, users can leverage Bixel AI to generate new pieces of digital art, which can then be minted as NFTs on the BNB Smart Chain. Bixel combines the power of AI and Web3 to provide an accessible entry point into digital art and NFTs.

The AI NFT Generator Is Back and Available to All

This AI NFT generator has only been made available twice before. The first time was on March 1, 2023, when it underwent a small beta test limited to a select number of European users, resulting in the successful minting of 10,000 NFTs within a few hours. 

We then reopened the service on March 29, 2023, for all users worldwide, but only made it available for 12 hours and with access granted on a first-come, first-served basis to just 100,000 Binancians. 

But don’t worry if you missed out. We’re excited to announce that from July 26, we’re bringing the AI NFT generator back, and this time, it will be open for regular use and made available to all. In celebration of its return — alongside significant enhancements and new developments — we’re calling this version of the service Bixel. 

We’re excited to be empowering all Binancians to unleash their creativity. In this blog, we delve into its key features and latest updates. We will also provide a guide to minting your own AI-generated NFT and explain the Bixel Challenge through which top creators can earn BNB.

Discover Bixel’s Exciting New Features to Create NFT Art

Bixel offers a range of exciting features to support your creative journey and help you create your own NFT. These features are designed to make it seamless and secure for all. Welcome to Bixel’s new phase. Your creative journey begins here!

1. Ten generation chances per day – for free 

Each interaction will utilize one of your generation chances to create a new result, either by clicking 'Generate' to create a completely new image or modifying an existing image by clicking 'Variations'. You have a total of ten generation chances per day at absolutely no cost. These chances are refreshed daily at 00:00 UTC, so you’ll always have new opportunities to create and innovate with your digital art.

2. The power to choose your style

Art is all about self-expression. Bixel understands this and allows you to select a style that resonates with your creativity before generating the AI image. With nine distinct styles to choose from — including realistic, anime, painting, fantasy, and cyberpunk — you can bring your imagination to life with even more of a personalized touch.

3. Enhance your NFT artwork with Bixel

Bixel’s “Variation” feature allows you to explore different versions of your image, providing room for fine-tuning and perfecting your artwork. It can be used as long as you have enough daily generation chances. Bixel also offers an “Upscale” feature to enhance the resolution of your image from 512x512 to a significantly sharper 1024x1024. Note that “Upscale” doesn't use any of your daily generation chances.

How to Mint Your Own AI NFT With Bixel

Minting your AI-generated images as NFTs is an additional step that goes beyond just generating the artwork. Minting is the process that registers your digital artwork on the blockchain (BNB Smart Chain, in this case), giving it a unique digital identity and making it an NFT. This process requires completing the identity verification process (KYC) and involves a minting fee.

Here, we provide a simplified step-by-step guide on how to mint your own Bixel NFT. 

Please see our FAQ for more details.

1. Log in to your Binance account and navigate to Bixel via the banner on the Binance NFT homepage.

2. Begin the process of creating your unique AI NFT by entering prompts or uploading a portrait for Bixel to use as inspiration.

3. Choose your preferred creative style and generate the image.

4. Review the AI-generated images and select the one you like the most.

5. Utilize the “Upscale” feature if desired to enhance the image resolution to 1024x1024.

6. Click "Mint," provide a name and description for your NFT, and confirm the minting fee.

7. Wait for the minting process to finish. Your NFT can be found under "My NFTs" in your profile.

Congratulations, you've just minted your first Bixel NFT. With these simple steps, we put the power of creating and owning unique digital art in your hands. You can then list your NFT on the Binance NFT Marketplace, should you wish, or set it as your profile picture. Happy minting!
