Whitepaper

1. Introduction

In the era of artificial intelligence and decentralized technologies, iMNIX emerges as a utility token designed to power a next-generation NFT platform. This platform enables the creation and trading of AI-generated unique images and short videos as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the blockchain. The iMNIX ecosystem bridges generative AI with Web3, allowing artists, creators, and collectors to engage in a novel form of digital ownership, creativity, and monetization.

2. Concept Overview

iMNIX Coin operates as a reward-based cryptocurrency that is issued when customers make purchases at affiliated POS merchants. Customers can accumulate rewards easily via QR codes printed on their purchase receipts, scanned using the dedicated iMNIX mobile app. These coins can subsequently be redeemed directly for future purchases at affiliated POS merchants or traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.

3. Core Features

AI-Generated Content:
Users can create distinctive artworks and video snippets through integrated AI systems, such as text-to-image and image-to-video models (e.g., ChatGPT + DALL·E + custom video diffusion engines).

NFT Minting:
With one click, users can mint their AI-generated assets into NFTs on the Solana blockchain, embedding cryptographic hashes of the content for uniqueness validation.

iMNIX Token Utility:
The iMNIX token is used for:
Paying minting fees.
Accessing premium AI generation features.
Voting on platform governance decisions.
Staking for rewards and ecosystem growth.

Public Domain Image Enhancement & NFT Minting:
iMNIX supports NFT creation not only from AI-generated content but also from public domain images uploaded by members. Users can modify, enhance, or remix these freely available images to create new digital assets.
To maintain fairness and attribution, a portion of the minting fee is automatically paid to the original image contributor when their uploaded public domain image is used in a successful NFT minting.

This model:
Encourages community participation and image contributions.
Rewards content discovery and sourcing efforts.
Ensures value flow to contributors, even for open-use materials.

User-Captured Image Protection via NFT:
The iMNIX platform provides image rights and ownership protection for users who upload their own original photographs or media. By minting NFTs of user-captured images, creators establish verifiable ownership on the blockchain.
Multiple image resolutions are hashed and recorded, ensuring that even resized or cropped versions can be traced and verified. This process serves as a digital certificate of authenticity and authorship.

Anti-Piracy via Image Hashing:
To combat unauthorized online usage, iMNIX implements multi-size image hashing: Each uploaded image is hashed in various standard dimensions (e.g., 512x512, 1024x1024).
Hashes are embedded in the NFT metadata.
This creates a referenceable digital fingerprint that can be used to identify illegal duplicates or derivatives across platforms.
This mechanism strengthens copyright enforcement and enhances creators’ ability to take action against image piracy.

Global Graphic Engine Integration:
The iMNIX platform includes a dedicated mobile and web app, providing a simple and intuitive interface for users worldwide.
Customers can generate images and videos using various graphic engine APIs (e.g., DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, RunwayML, etc.).
The app consolidates access to multiple creative engines in one place. After generating content, users can mint NFTs instantly without leaving the app environment. This makes the creative-to-NFT pipeline fast, user-friendly, and accessible to both novice and professional creators.

Original image SHA-256 hash (across multiple sizes)
Creator wallet address
Creation timestamp
Source type (AI-generated, user-uploaded, or public domain)
Rights attribution and usage license (if provided)
This ensures provenance, traceability, and rights enforcement across the entire lifecycle of the NFT.

6. Trust & Recommendation System

To improve content discovery and credibility, iMNIX introduces a recommendation staking model:
Users can stake iMNIX tokens to recommend specific NFTs or public domain images.
The more iMNIX staked on a recommendation, the more visible and trusted it becomes.
This system deters spam and ensures only high-quality or relevant content rises to the top.

7. Ownership & Security

iMNIX protects creators through a combination of blockchain registration and technical fingerprinting:
Users retain full rights over their uploaded content.
NFTs act as tamper-proof records of authorship.
In the event of infringement, creators can use NFT records and hashes to prove ownership and issue takedown requests or legal claims.
By linking blockchain to real-world image rights, iMNIX empowers photographers, artists, and creators with a practical tool for digital ownership protection.
