CryptoKitties are back, this time as a mini-game on the Flow blockchain on the Telegram messenger platform.
The crypto craze for blockchain games took off with CryptoKitties in December 2017. By May 2018, in the midst of the madness around non-fungible tokens (NFTs), a CryptoKitty sold for $140,000.
Now CryptoKitties: All The Zen an incremental “Play to Eggdrop” game on Telegram. It serves as a teaser to the upcoming full-scale relaunch of CryptoKitties on the Flow blockchain, with this mini-game offering a sneak peek into what’s coming next.
The game is full of easter eggs, strategies, and fun ways to grow your Zen.
“We’ve been inspired by the growth of gaming communities on Telegram, including Hamster Kombat, among others, and decided to build a much more engaging and fun experience,” CryptoKitties said.
CryptoKitties was the original NFT project to gain mainstream attention, and its creators also introduced the ERC-721 standard, which underpins most NFTs today. Since then, the company expanded the portfolio with other hit apps like NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day, and Disney Pinnacle. But this marks the first time Dapper Labs is launching a new product centered on CryptoKitties lore since the original.
People will be able to start playing CryptoKitties: All the Zen tomorrow, Oct 1, by joining the Telegram community here.
The team has been teasing All the Zen for about a month. Dapper Labs launched a new collection on Ethereum recently to tease the game named “egg” and it quickly became one of the top traded collections on OpenSea, with over $3.5 million of secondary sales, over 3,000 eggs minted.
People will get priority access if they already own original CryptoKitties, or connect their Flow wallet, starting at 9 a.m. Pacific time on October 1. Because this is an incremental game, the earlier you get started the better.
