BlockDAG.xyz Image Prompts

Place all generated images in /img/. Dimensions noted per image. All images should work on dark backgrounds (#050608). Favor cinematic lighting, atmospheric depth, and muted tones with selective gold (#c9a84c) and teal (#49eacb) accents.

Hero / Homepage

hero-bg.jpg — Main hero background (DONE)

Size: 1920x1080 (landscape, overlaid with dark gradient)

Stag silhouette on a ridge at twilight, amber campfires scattered across a valley below. Already generated and live.

Section Heroes (1920x800 landscape banners, dark/moody, white text will overlay)

hero-learn.jpg — Learn section hero

A vast night sky filled with stars, viewed from a mountain summit. Below, a glowing teal river of light winds through a dark valley — suggesting data flow or a blockchain ledger stretching into the distance. The foreground has rough stone or obsidian, grounding the image. Sense of standing at the edge of understanding something vast. Contemplative, educational tone.

hero-architecture.jpg — Architecture section hero

A BlockDAG visualized as a vast crystalline structure — hundreds of translucent teal blocks connected by golden threads, floating in dark space. The structure is wide and parallel (not a single chain) with many blocks at the same height, connected to multiple parents. Some blocks pulse with brighter light. Looks like a living, breathing computational fabric. Technical but beautiful.

hero-ecosystem.jpg — Ecosystem section hero

A dark aerial view of a futuristic settlement at night where structures are formed from glowing teal circuit-board patterns. Rivers of golden light flow between clusters. At the edges, the settlement fades into wilderness/forest — civilization meeting the frontier. Suggests: an ecosystem being built, infrastructure taking shape.

hero-build.jpg — Build / Development section hero

Close-up of hands (silhouetted, dark) forging something on an anvil. The object being forged glows amber-gold and has the shape of a DAG — nodes and edges being hammered into form. Sparks fly in teal. The background is a dark workshop with faint screens showing code. Suggests: craftsmanship, building infrastructure.

hero-staghunt.jpg — Staghunt section hero

A dark forest clearing at night. In the center, a geometric pattern of golden light on the ground — like a summoning circle but made of interconnected nodes and edges (graph/DAG shape). At the edges, faint silhouettes of figures wait among the trees, watching. Overhead, a constellation takes the shape of a stag. Moody, mythic but technological.

dagknight-blocks.jpg — BlockDAG structure

An isometric view of a DAG: blocks are translucent teal cubes with golden edges, arranged in parallel layers. Multiple blocks exist at the same height, each connected to 2-3 parent blocks via thin golden lines. The structure is wide, not linear — emphasizing parallelism. Clean, technical, diagrammatic but beautiful. Dark background.

ghostdag-ordering.jpg — GHOSTDAG consensus ordering

A bird’s-eye view of a tangled web of teal nodes on a dark surface. A golden path winds through the nodes, marking the canonical ordering — the “selected chain” weaving through the DAG. Nodes on the path glow brighter; nodes off-path are dimmer but still connected. The image reads as: order emerging from apparent chaos. Clean, technical.

kaspa-mining.jpg — Mining / Proof of Work

Rows of glowing ASIC mining rigs in a dark industrial space, their indicator lights forming patterns of teal and amber. Heat shimmer rises from the machines. In the background, a faint holographic DAG structure floats above the rigs — the blocks they produce. The feel: raw computational power producing something elegant.

crescendo-10bps.jpg — Crescendo hardfork / 10 BPS

A single teal pulse of light on the left side of the frame, then the same pulse splitting into ten parallel streams flowing to the right — visualizing the jump from 1 BPS to 10 BPS. The streams weave and interleave but maintain parallel flow. The background is dark with subtle grid lines. Clean, kinetic, showing acceleration.

utxo-atomic.jpg — UTXO / Atomic transactions

Several small glowing teal orbs (UTXOs) floating in dark space. Golden lines connect a subset of them into a transaction — inputs on the left, outputs on the right, all linked by a bright flash in the center (the atomic moment). Some orbs are spent (dimmer), some are fresh (brighter). Suggests: discrete units, atomic state transitions.

fair-launch.jpg — Fair launch / No pre-mine

A wide landscape at dawn — the very first light breaking over a dark horizon, casting equal golden light across the entire scene. No single point is illuminated more than another. A level playing field. In the foreground, simple tools (pickaxes, hammers) are planted in the ground, suggesting miners ready to start together. Egalitarian, clean.

stag-hunt.jpg — The Stag Hunt game

Two hunters crouching in tall grass on opposite sides of a clearing, each visible to the viewer but not to each other. Between them: a majestic stag with golden antlers, glowing faintly. Each hunter holds a bow but hesitates, looking toward where the other hunter might be. On the ground near each hunter, a small rabbit (the safe, inferior choice). Painterly, dark palette with amber highlights on the stag.

pack-forming.jpg — Pack accumulation (opacity)

An overhead view of a dark pool of water. Beneath the surface, dozens of golden lights are visible at varying depths — some bright, some dim, impossible to count precisely. The surface reflects a dark sky. A few ripples suggest new lights arriving. You cannot tell how many are there or how close to the threshold. Suggests: opaque accumulation, hidden state.

hunt-snap.jpg — The hunt resolving (atomic execution)

A dramatic moment of convergence: golden lightning bolts connecting multiple points simultaneously across a dark landscape, forming a complete network in one instant. At each node, a figure raises a torch. The connections form a DAG pattern. Everything executes at once — the snap. High energy, dramatic, amber-gold against near-black.

campfire-dvp.jpg — DVPs / Private signaling

A tight circle of 5-6 cloaked figures around a campfire in deep woods at night. One figure holds up a small golden orb that illuminates only the faces of those present — the light doesn’t escape the circle. Beyond the firelight: total darkness. Suggests: designated verifiable proof, private group signaling, deniable but convincing.

liquidity-migration.jpg — Liquidity migration use case

A fleet of golden ships moored at a dark harbor. Each ship has a unique size. In the distance across the water, a brighter harbor glows teal (the better destination). A few ships have raised anchors but wait — none wants to sail alone. Ropes connect the ships to each other, suggesting they’ll move as a convoy or not at all.

og-blockdag.jpg — Open Graph share image

Size: 1200x630

Dark background. “BlockDAG” in large bold font, amber-gold, with subtle glow. Below it in smaller teal text: “Kaspa — The Fastest Proof-of-Work Cryptocurrency”. Faint DAG pattern of nodes and edges in the background. Clean, bold, readable at small sizes. No busy imagery — this needs to be legible as a thumbnail.

Notes

  • All images should be optimized for web (JPEG quality 80-85, or WebP)
  • Hero images will have a dark overlay applied via CSS — they can be slightly brighter than you’d expect
  • Content images will display at max-width within a dark content block with a subtle border
  • The color palette is: gold #c9a84c, teal #49eacb, dark #050608, warm white #e0ddd5
  • Avoid: bright whites, saturated blues, anything that reads as “corporate” or “stock photo”
  • Aim for: atmospheric, cinematic — Kaspa images should feel technical and precise, Staghunt images should feel mythic and primal
