Addendum Proposal v0.1.1 — Early Creator Program

Overview

Following the successful inscription of Pepix69 and the formation of the Pepix Advisory Council, the Pepix project may introduce a limited Early Creator Program.
This program is designed to decentralize Pepix creation, expand the catalogue responsibly, and empower select community members to contribute directly to the collection while maintaining artistic and technical standards.

Application Process

  • Submissions for Early Creator status will open only after Pepix69 has been successfully inscribed on-chain.
  • Interested members must complete an application process (to be drafted and published in the Pepix Pond Discord).
  • Applications will require a demonstration of pixel-art proficiency and an understanding of Pepix standards (scale, brush size, layering, backgrounds, etc).

Buy-In Commitment

  • Approved applicants will be asked to provide a 500,000 PEPE buy-in fee to the Pepix Creator Wallet.
  • This fee is intended to:
    • Demonstrate commitment and seriousness.
    • Contribute to the Pepix treasury for inscription fees and community resources.

Creator Rights & Responsibilities

  • Approved Early Creators will receive:
    • Access to the Pepix Creation Kit (base Pepix sprite, non-retired traits catalogue, and guidelines).
    • Their wallet address whitelisted as an official Pepix creator (publicly verifiable).
  • All Pepix created by Early Creators:
    • Must conform to existing Pepix standards and catalogue rules.
    • Must be submitted to the Advisory Council for approval prior to catalogue inclusion.
    • Will not increase the supply cap of 4269 Pepix (cap remains immutable).

Governance

  • The Advisory Council will oversee:
    • Reviewing Early Creator applications.
    • Approving or denying Pepix submissions from Early Creators.
    • Revoking status if Pepix standards are repeatedly violated.
  • Council votes will determine if and when new Early Creator slots are opened.

Purpose & Alignment

  • This proposal ensures decentralization without sacrificing quality.
  • The delay until Pepix69 allows time for:
    • The catalogue of traits and props to be fully fleshed out.
    • Clear examples of Pepix standards to be showcased through existing inscriptions.
  • The program strengthens Pepix’s long-term sustainability and community ownership while safeguarding artistic integrity.

Note: This proposal is exploratory. Adoption requires council review and community consensus prior to activation.
