A team claiming to be Flappy Bird fans relaunched the game as a crypto project, which users criticized as a "crypto scam"

ChainCatcher reported that according to Protos, a team claiming to be Flappy Bird fans planned to relaunch the classic game as a crypto project, but this move was strongly opposed by X (former Twitter) user.

The new version makes Flappy Bird a Web3 game based on Solana, claiming it to be "the world's first open source, community-owned Web 2 and Web 3 game." The project also mentioned FLAP tokens, which are planned to be issued on the Telegram blockchain, providing staking options and free airdrops.

However, it is unclear whether the token will be launched on Solana or Telegram, or whether these crypto plans have been abandoned. Users criticized the project as a "crypto scam" and expressed dissatisfaction with the way the team obtained the rights to Flappy Bird.
