The game, currently on presale, has players collect and breed dogs that they can trade or keep. Thanks to the game’s use of digital currency (specifically Ethereum), each dog has monetary value whilst making these trades safe and trackable. 

Loki Studios, the creators of CryptoPups, promises to not mess with the market, stating in the official press release: 

The studio also expressed hope for the genre as a whole, stating:

This pre-sale ends on Feburary 11th, and there are only 2,000 puppies that will be sold. Only two puppies can be sold per wallet, and a single puppy costs 0.01eth. 

What do you think about this genre? Let me know in the comments – I’d love to hear your opinion.
