According to U.Today, Uniswap Labs has recently acquired Crypto: The Game, an online survival game with integrated cryptocurrency mechanics. The details of the acquisition, including the exact sum, have not been disclosed as of June 11, 2024. As part of the acquisition, all members of the Crypto: The Game team will join Uniswap Labs to continue their work on the upcoming season 3.
Crypto: The Game's season 2, titled 'Anon Island', attracted over 800 crypto enthusiasts worldwide, with a net prize pool exceeding $281,000. The game, which includes various engaging in-app mechanics, was a hot topic on Crypto Twitter.
Uniswap Labs and Crypto: The Game contributors plan to experiment with on-chain activations for the Uniswap community. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams expressed his excitement about the acquisition, stating it aligns with Uniswap's expansion strategy. He emphasized the need for more engaging on-chain experiences to bring the world on-chain.
Uniswap, the largest multi-chain decentralized crypto exchange for EVM, reached a milestone of 3.2 million users last April. These users utilize Uniswap's interface for on-chain trading on various platforms, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Celo, BNB Smart Chain, Base, Polygon, and Avalanche.
Uniswap representatives have assured that the operational workflow for Crypto: The Game will remain unchanged. However, they plan to introduce new themes, twists, and on-chain features in the forthcoming season 3. In previous seasons, contestants bought in with 0.1 ETH, joined tribes, participated in daily challenges, and voted each other out over 10-day seasons until one person won the entire prize pool.
