Product overview1 text field

Pixelynx is a music metaverse platform co-founded by electronic musicians Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) and Richie Hawtin. The platform enables artists to create virtual environments for music, NFTs, and interactive experiences, with a focus on blockchain integration. Based on the source materials, no specific named product modules or sub-products directly attributable to Pixelynx are described—the KOR Protocol products mentioned (Pacer, Korus, KOR Hubs, VRSNS, Streamline) are KOR Protocol's own product suite, and Pixelynx appears as an IP partner within that ecosystem rather than as the developer of those specific products.
