Review on CryptoKitties by Chika Jessica
Great Game
CryptoKitties
CryptoKitties is a blockchain game on Ethereum developed by Axiom Zen that allows players to purchase, collect, breed and sell virtual cats. It is one of the earliest attempts to deploy blockchain technology for recreation and leisure.
Cryptokitties first shot into limelight last November after traffic from its users flooded ethereum’s blockchain. The game involves breeding of digital cats to generate progeny that become valued collectibles. Kitties are purchased using either, ethereum’s native token.
Not surprisingly, media attention and the game’s resulting popularity has attracted investors into its fold.
According to TechCrunch, the intent is to spin the game out of the studio and use the ERC-721 token standard, which was used to develop it, to make even more mainstream applications on ethereum’s blockchain. For example, it could enable real estate transactions between two parties, where the exchange of funds takes place only after certain conditions pertaining to the sale are met. More recently, basketball star Stephen Curry signed on to release the first celebrity-branded Cryptokitties.
