Crypto: The Game, the viral “Survivor”-inspired reality competition, is set to return for a third season, now under new ownership. On Monday, Uniswap Labs, the team behind the leading Ethereum decentralized exchange, Uniswap, announced its acquisition of the game. Founders Dylan Abruscato, Tyler Cagle, and Bryan Lee will join Uniswap Labs, helping to shape the game’s future and support Uniswap Labs’ messaging around decentralized finance.
Crypto: The Game is an innovative on-chain survival game that gained significant attention during its first season. Players competed in various challenges, from online Pac-Man to real-world scavenger hunts, for a prize of $115,000 worth of ETH. The format, reminiscent of “Survivor,” involved players being divided into tribes, with performance in challenges determining who would be voted off the island. The last player standing took home the grand prize.
The first season was won by a pseudonymous player from a rural town in Japan, who endeared himself to fellow players with his poetry and good-natured demeanor. This heartwarming story added to the game’s buzz on Crypto Twitter.
Season two of Crypto: The Game saw even more engagement, with around 800 players spending over 4,000 hours on the game’s website. This season was marked by intense strategic play and dramatic twists. In one notable instance, a group of players, after being brutally eliminated, pooled their resources to buy back into the game. Their teamwork paid off as they won the $210,000 prize, which they donated entirely to the Tornado Cash Legal Defense Fund.
With Uniswap Labs taking over, the game is poised for further growth and innovation. The original founders joining Uniswap Labs suggests a seamless transition and the potential for enhanced integration of decentralized finance concepts. “Crypto: The Game has always been about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the crypto space,” said a Uniswap Labs representative. “We are excited to explore new ways to engage and educate the community through this platform.”
The acquisition highlights Uniswap Labs’ commitment to expanding its influence beyond traditional financial applications and into the realm of interactive, community-driven experiences. Fans of the game can look forward to new challenges, innovative gameplay, and perhaps even larger prizes in the upcoming season.
