Do you love cats but can't take  the responsibility of bringing one home?


 Imagine experiencing the joy of adopting and raising a cat, except virtually. Also, your cat cannot be  replicated and can never be taken  from you. Blockchain technology-based games like Dapper Labs’ CyrptoKitties, where each CryptoKittie is a non-fungible token (“NFT”), enable just that.

 Launched in 2017 as the first  blockchain game, CryptoKitties today has over 1,28,000 current users worldwide . The scope and potential of blockchain technology has attracted the gaming industry in recent years. With the success of CryptoKitties, more blockchain games have now been introduced, such as Axie Infinity. 

The popularity and success of blockchain games has been such that it has prompted nearly 60% of  online game developers in the US and UK to start using blockchain technology, according to Business Insider. Even big companies like Ubisoft and Electronic Arts have expressed  interest in introducing elements of blockchain technology to their games in the near future.
