SOMO V0: The First Pixel in a World You Get to Run
Not a token. Not a game. Something different.
We’re excited to announce SOMO V0 - a blockchain-based collaborative pixel canvas built on Nervos CKB using the Spore Protocol. This is the beginning of something that will evolve into a much larger vision, and we need you to help us build it.
What is SOMO?
SOMO (Social Movement) is a pixel canvas where each pixel is a Spore Protocol NFT on the Nervos CKB blockchain. But unlike traditional NFTs, locking CKB isn’t losing CKB - it’s a deposit you can recover at any time by melting (burning) your pixel.
This fundamental difference changes everything. Your pixels represent actual value locked on-chain, not just speculative assets. You own them. You can transfer them. You can reclaim your CKB whenever you want.
SOMO - The first pixel in a world you get to run
What We’ve Built
We’ve created a fully functional proof-of-concept that demonstrates:
Core Blockchain Features
- Anyone-Can-Pay (ACP) Cluster Minting: Permissionless pixel minting using the latest CCC SDK patterns
- Multi-Wallet Support: JoyID, MetaMask, and UTXO Global Wallet integration
- Spore Protocol NFTs: Each pixel is a real Spore NFT with DOB/0 metadata encoding
- Pixel Transfers: Send your pixels to any CKB address
- Pixel Melting: Burn your pixel to reclaim locked CKB instantly
- Cryptographic Authentication: Production-grade signature verification for all write operations
Tokenomics System
- 2 Billion Points: Distributed from November 10 to November 17, 2025
- 500 Million Tokens: 4:1 point-to-token conversion ratio
- Tier-Based Multipliers: Super Rare (2.0x), Rare (1.5x), Uncommon (1.25x), Common (1.0x)
- Ownership Incentives: Original minters earn at full rate; secondary owners at 0.25x rate
- No Minimum Hold Period: Points accumulate immediately upon minting
Track your points and tokens - tier multipliers reward rare pixel ownership
Technical Achievement: Permissionless Minting
One of our key breakthroughs was solving permissionless ACP cluster minting with the CCC SDK. We discovered that using clusterMode: "clusterCell" instead of clusterMode: "lockProxy" was the correct approach for ACP clusters. This pattern:
- Automatically fetches the cluster cell from the blockchain
- Preserves cluster capacity (critical for ACP locks)
- Enables true permissionless minting without admin signatures
We’re using CCC SDK with custom ACP cellDep injection to make this work. This implementation serves as a reference for other developers building on CKB.
Kudos to CCC devs for the fast responses and help throughout the entire process.

The V0 Testing Phase: Why We Need You
SOMO V0 is entering testnet. This is not the final product - it’s the skeleton upon which we’re building an immense world.
What V0 Represents
Think of V0 as a technical demonstration and stress test. The core mechanics work:
- Mint pixels as Spore NFTs
- Transfer ownership between wallets
- Burn pixels to reclaim CKB
- Accumulate points based on tier and ownership
But this is just the foundation.
What We Need From The Community
We’re calling on the Nervos community to rigorously test the platform:
- Mint Pixels: Try minting multiple pixels across different tiers
- Transfer Pixels: Send pixels to other addresses, test the transfer flow
- Burn Pixels: Melt pixels and verify you receive your CKB back
- Verify Points: Check that your points accumulate correctly based on tier multipliers
- Find Bugs: Break things. Find edge cases. Report vulnerabilities.
This testing phase is critical preparation for the Founding Stage (V1).
The V1 Incentive: Only 1,000 Spots
Here’s what makes V0 participation valuable:
1,000 participants from V0 will be whitelisted for V1 - the Founding Era.
V0 is your chance to:
- Learn the mechanics before they evolve
- Secure your spot in the limited Founding Stage
- Influence the platform’s development with feedback
The Roadmap
Phase 1: V0 Testnet (NOW)
- Test all core features on CKB Testnet
- Community bug hunting and vulnerability discovery
- Gather feedback on UX, mechanics, and tokenomics
- Iterate and harden the codebase
Phase 2: V0 Mainnet
- Deploy proven mechanics to CKB Mainnet
- Real value locked in pixels
- Limited to secure V1 whitelist
Phase 3: V1 Announcement - The Founding Era
- Reveal expanded vision and narrative
- Introduce special features and add-ons
- Larger canvas with new mechanics
- Different tier names and functions
- Only 1,000 V0 participants gain founding privileges, the rest will be on a first come first served basis. Limited spots
Phase 4: V2 - Territory Wars
- Citizens join founders
- Collaborative gameplay mechanics
- Full realization of the social movement concept
Your pixel portfolio - view owned pixels, accumulated points, and transfer/burn options
What Changes Between V0 and V1?
The concept and core mechanics you’re testing now will carry forward, but V1 will transform the experience:
What Stays the Same
- Pixel ownership as Spore NFTs
- CKB locking (not losing) model
- Transfer and burn mechanics
- Points/token accumulation
What Evolves
- Narrative Framework: A compelling story that makes the mechanics meaningful
- Expanded Canvas: Larger world to build in
- New Features: Special abilities, add-ons, and mechanics we haven’t announced yet
- Evolved Terminology: Tier names, function names, and concepts will be refined
- Enhanced UI/UX: More immersive interface and interactions
V0 is the proof-of-concept. V1 is where SOMO becomes a world.
The Vision: Building Together
SOMO isn’t just about owning pixels. It’s about collaborative ownership of a digital space governed by blockchain mechanics and driven by community participation.
Every pixel represents:
- Real CKB locked on-chain (recoverable at any time)
- Accumulating points toward token airdrops
- Territory in an evolving digital world
- Participation in a social movement
This is why your testing matters. You’re not just finding bugs - you’re helping shape how blockchain-native collaboration works.
Technical Stack
For developers interested in what we’re building on:
- Blockchain: Nervos CKB (Testnet → Mainnet)
- NFT Protocol: Spore Protocol with DOB/0 metadata
- SDK: CCC SDK
- Minting Pattern:
clusterMode: "clusterCell"for permissionless ACP minting - Wallets: JoyID, MetaMask, UTXO Global
- Backend: Node.js + Express + TypeScript

Join The Movement
V0 testing starts now on CKB Testnet.
Coming soon. Stay tunned
How to Participate
- Create/Connect a CKB wallet (JoyID, MetaMask, or UTXO Global)
- Get testnet CKB from the faucet
- Mint your first pixel
- Test transfers, burns, and point accumulation
- Report issues and feedback
What You’ll Gain
- V1 Whitelist (limited to 1,024 participants)
- Founding Era Privileges when V1 launches
- Early Territory before the canvas expands
- Community Recognition as a V0 pioneer
- Direct Influence on development direction
Remember: Locking ≠ Losing
This bears repeating because it’s fundamentally different from traditional NFTs:
When you mint a pixel, you’re not spending CKB - you’re depositing it.
You can recover your locked CKB at any time by melting your pixel. The only thing you lose is the small transaction fee and platform fee. Your capital isn’t burned; it’s stored on-chain in your Spore NFT.
This changes the risk profile completely. Minting pixels is more like staking than buying.
The Hype is Real, But Earned
We’re not promising vaporware or roadmaps that never materialize. V0 exists. You can test it today. The blockchain integration works. The tokenomics engine calculates points correctly. Pixels mint, transfer, and burn as designed.
What we’re building beyond V0 will blow your mind - but we need your help to make it bulletproof first.
The skeleton is here. The foundation is solid. Now we build the world together.
Call to Action
The first 1,000 V0 testers will become V1 founders.
Will you be one of them?
Test SOMO V0. Break it. Question it. Help us make it unbreakable. Then watch what we build on this foundation.
Not a token. Not a game. The first pixel in a world you get to run.
