Tron (available on Binance) dogs is geared towards the Tron (available on Binance) community as users must have TRX to play the game. Both games encompass crypto collectible pets that players can breed in hopes to create “unique” and valuable off-spring. Let’s dive into their intricacies.
CryptoKitties
Back in the first week of December, CryptoKitties took the world by storm bringing in $3 million USD within the first week. However, it did have its share of complications. At one point, the game became so popular it began taking up nearly a third of Ethereum (available on Coinbase)’s total hashing power. The issue was that Ethereum (available on Coinbase) was not equipped to handle the influx of transactions and at one point had a backlog of 20,000 transactions. ANY move made within the game is individually documented, and this was driving up the log of transactions that the Ethereum (available on Coinbase) blockchain was not ready to handle. The game launched before Ethereum (available on Coinbase)’s scalability issue was resolved, and as a result, has simmered in popularity exponentially.
You could say that CryptoKitties sparked the interest of many artists and now, many different types of games are emerging and being built on the blockchain. In total, CryptoKitties made a total of 326,733 sales and made a total of $23,069,950.15 in revenue. The most expensive Kitty was sold back on December 6th, for $110,707 USD, and is now worth $152,002 USD.
The entire premise of the game is to purchase and collect these digital cats and breed them with other people in hopes of breeding a “rare” kitty, to potentially sell for profit. You cannot change or alter the look of your cat and the individuals playing the game determine the unique “cattributes“ of the digital pets.
The latest news to break from Axoim Zen, the startup that designed CryptoKitties, is that the game was making its way into China. The game was launched in English originally, and its team is centered in North America.
