The Digital Pets Company said it is launching AI-driven 3D digital dogs as companions for the metaverse.

The dogs will be secured as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which can be used to authenticate unique digital items. It’s the antidote to NFT cats, which another game startup, Tiny Rebel Games, announced in March with the goal of creating digital cats. Both companies are confident that the concept of Nintendogs will work well with NFTs.
