What is PIXXTASY?

PIXXTASY is the creation of Zoltán Egri, an anti-drug campaigner who overcame many difficulties during his two-year drug addiction.

Driven by his dedication to his anti-drug goals fused with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, helped form this project to help fund drug recovery programs and NGOs through the sale of NFTs.

PIXXTASY’s goal is to reach out to rehabilitation centers and voluntary organizations that help addicts recover; in the past these centers and voluntary organizations have struggled to have a strong presence in online communities.

Giving up drugs and choosing recovery is a difficult and long-term process that requires a lot of support.

“Pixel” and “Ecstasy” were the inspiration for PIXXTASY, combining the pixels used in all digital content and displays, as well as the potential euphoria that drug users end up craving.

PIXXTASY was created to send a message, to educate and help drug users.

PIXXTASY uses two slogans to make the goal memorable, these are:

“DO NOT USE. JUST OWN IT.” This puts pressure on not using drugs at the same time as holding and owning the NFTs.
“BE A HEALER” This slogan refers to healing and helping instead of dealing drugs.

The creator of PIXXTASY has described how everything in his life has led to creating the world’s first anti-drug NFT collection:

“As a brand manager, I have been working from home and the epidemic has given me time to observe the direction the world is heading towards; this direction is NFT. Art has always given me a different perspective, I have created digital content and aim to continue creating more. I’ve been through a lot, I was an employee, a manager, a 5 minute star, a lover, a cheater, a rich person, a drug addict and then I got clean. PIXXTASY was formed due to the combination of events from my life.”

– Zoltán Egri (translated and adjusted for English)

Why is PIXXTASY necessary?

The modernization of methods of socializing has allowed a shift from physical socializing in real life to digital socializing, giving way to positive and negative aspects, such as a black market for goods such as drugs that people can buy anonymously.

More and more younger people earn their own money and do not trust their parents or others. These young people are at risk because they can be inexperienced, naive, curious and influential, making them easy targets for drug use.

The gap between the younger generation and the extraction of drugs must be modernized in order to help as many people as possible.

One of PIXXTASY’s goals is to make drug use unattractive to young people, such as smoking and other life-destroying habits, and to highlight the possible consequences of drug use.

PIXXTASY’s NFTs, Whitelist and Mint

PIXXTASY’s NFT collection will be minted on September 7, 2022. Those interested in purchasing one can sign up for PIXXTASY’s whitelist starting on August 31, 2022.

Anyone who has signed up to the whitelist can be randomly selected and allowed to buy one of PIXXTASY’s NFTs.

All NFTs will be limited edition and hand-drawn by a professional artist, making them both more unique and attractive compared to mass-produced NFTs.

The artwork is designed to look like current pop culture icons, such as Hello Kitty, Bitcoin, Star Wars and many others; related, yet unique.

The other reason for these designs is that real drugs are often made into pop culture icons, this allows PIXXTASY to raise awareness of what illegal drugs can look like and their associated dangers due to unknown content.

The funds earned through NFT sales will help charities working on anti-drug campaigns and drug recovery programs to run and reach more people. PIXXTASY will support the work of 11 non-profit organizations and rehabilitation centers globally using $1,000,000 of the project’s proceeds.
