# How It Works

### Grid Structure

* Total 10,000 blocks, each block consists of 10x10 pixels.
* Each block is identified by coordinates (x, y).
* Blocks are minted individually or in groups and stored on-chain.
* Bought blocks can hold metadata: image, link, label, etc.

### Life-cycle

1. **Mint** – A user purchases (mints) some blocks
2. **Own** – Ownership is recorded on-chain and can be transferred.
3. **Customize** – The owner sets content (ad, meme, image, etc.) for their owned pixel blocks.
4. **Trade / Rent** – Once bought, owners can trade it for some crypto or rent it for passive income describing their own terms and time constraints.

**Note:** YourSpace Marketplace for trading and renting is not live yet. We are working on it. Meanwhile, you can trade your spaces on Opensea, Rarible, or other marketplaces.
