Photography today is trapped by a paradox.
When the amateurs rule, what happens to the pros?
What is Pix.T?
Pix.T is the innovative photography marketplace built on trust: a secure, easy-to-use technical protocol designed in the interest of photographers.
Our Mission
Pix.T partners with leading print specialists around the world, assuring that the most powerful, beautiful and relevant images are authenticated and printed with the finest quality materials and processes. Each purchase is backed with its own blockchain code to verify the authenticity of the image. Delivery services and tracking are all handled by Pix.T’s professional team from the world of professional photography logistics.
Pix.T strives to build a social and economic ecosystem that guarantees a better future for professionals and journalists whose role is more essential than ever.
New Technological Protocol
Pix.T establishes a new technical protocol built on an image streaming service for distribution via a unique player/embedding feature, and unprecedented means of authentication, tracking and revenue share via the blockchain.
Micropayments to NFT Millions
The protocol’s airtight control of image authenticity and ownership means value can be created with everything from unique NFT auctions of digital photo assets to micropayments from those caught illegally sharing images without permission. NFTs bring major revenue for select images and related content. Micropayments educate consumers about image copyrights, alerting them to the professionals’ work and the need for public support.
Blockchain backed
Blockchain to certify and track all authentic images and identify the distribution of illegal copies.
Digital to Physical with High-Quality Print Sales
Pix.T partners with leading global news media and print specialists, assuring that photographs are authenticated, circulated and printed with the finest quality materials and printing processes.
Transparency
Directly linking photographers to agencies, media and the users consuming their images.
Tracking Theft and Deep Fakes
With original images no longer in circulation due to the streaming player embedding feature, illegal image use and fraudulent / edited images will greatly decrease.
State-of-the-art UX Search Feature
Pix.T images are run through our powerful machine-learning-based search engine, combining metadata and computer vision to help journalists, editors or users find the image they are looking for in just a few clicks.
Our strategy & roadmap
We are currently hard at work building our platform. Pix.T will be launched in several key stages, with full delivery in 2022.
