Pixel Devs — Developer DAO derivative NFT on Polygon

Impact

Open-source contributor on Developer DAO's Pixel Devs / derivatives project across late 2021 and early 2022 — the lead-up to the Polygon mainnet mint and the post-launch UkraineDAO charity-mint plan. Credited in the upstream README under the all-contributors specification.

Outcomes

• Migrated the Hardhat contract toolchain to TypeScript with TypeChain-generated PixelAvatars bindings so deploy scripts, tests, and the rest of the project consume one source of truth at compile time.
• Refactored the legacy ~1,800-line contract into a focused PixelAvatars.sol implementation behind the OpenZeppelin upgradeable proxy, and authored the first end-to-end TypeScript test spec exercising the mint signature verification path.
• Modernised the Solidity toolchain — bumped to ^0.8.9, integrated solhint + prettier with prettier-plugin-solidity, and applied a repo-wide style pass that turned lint into a CI gate.
• Reordered the PixelAvatars contract to match the official Solidity style guide's order-of-functions so the mint surface reads in the order auditors and new contributors expect.
• Brought Vue Router into the trait previewer with a useRouteParameterSync composable so a holder can drop a deep link to their pixel avatar into Discord and have the recipient land on the same preview.
• Prototyped EIP-2981 secondary-market royalties on the upgradeable contract via a new @eip2981 contract namespace, scoped against the Developer DAO for Ukraine charity-mint plan that routed proceeds to UkraineDAO.
