The pets are stored in the users own crypto wallets so-while they can be used in-game-they literally exist outside of the game. Each CryptoKitty has its own genetic code which is passed along when a kitty is bred with others. But alas, like so many other dapps, it fails to deliver on its promises.įor those who only own real-world cats with all the agro that comes along, CryptoKitties is a dapp on the Ethereum blockchain where users buy, sell and breed digital cats. Dapp-and gaming-fans have been eagerly waiting for this functionality for a while, and if successful, is a huge shot across the bow of traditional gaming companies. Yet when it comes to blockchain-based equivalents, they exist independently of the game and can be sent from one game to another quite happily. This isn’t possible in regular games because such in-game items only exist within the game itself: the code can't escape its creator. Now, CryptoKitties is trying to revive itself with a partnership with Gods Unchained-a blockchain based trading card game -to deliver on one of the long-running promises in this niche: the ability to take a digital item from one game and use it in another. But since then, the number of users of the digital-cat-breeding platform has dropped significantly to fewer than 1,000 per week, just 1 percent of the numbers the network enjoyed in its heyday in December, 2017. Remember when CryptoKitties caused congestion on the Ethereum highway? Congratulations, you’ve been in the cryptosphere for over a year.
