Review on CryptoKitties by Furkan Öztoprak
CryptoKitties Game Overview
The question we will search for answers with you today will be 'What are Cryptokitties'. To begin with, Cryptokitties is a user-friendly way to explore blockchain technology with a virtual cat game. They were one of the first attempts to use blockchain technology for entertainment purposes. Each Cryptokitty is validated on the blockchain and, like other assets, their value may increase or decrease depending on the market.
As a non-fungible token, it relies on its uniqueness in value creation. Each cat has a 256-bit genome along with DNA. They also have traits unique to this cat that can be passed on to their offspring using a genetic algorithm.
These digital cat assets are stored on the blockchain of ethereum, which leverages smart contracts to allow players to buy, hoard, feed and trade their virtual cats. Cryptokitty transactions are done using Ether.
However, I want to say that this game was popular until about two years ago. Nowadays, the players are less and even the most valuable cats can be sold at cheap prices, which is sad. My wish is that the game will be more active again and users will be in this blockchain world.
Pros
- The game is immersive
- There is an opportunity to earn crypto money by trading cats in the game.
Cons
- Popularity and trade began to decline.
