A blockchain-based platform where crypto enthusiasts can own digital collectibles inspired by public figures is planning to open up its ecosystem to developers - in the hope that new games and competitions will be added to its burgeoning marketplace.
Its Mating Game saw two politicians mated with celebrities, resulting in brand-new Cryptons that were an amalgamation of each pair.
A portion of the proceeds of the sale of the new "Offspring" Cryptons goes to the owners of the parent collectibles.
MyCryptons has also launched the Angry Mobs game, where users can create memes by drawing on any Crypton using an array of tools.
It is currently free for users, but MyCryptons intends to monetize this in future and share the revenue with the owners of the Cryptons involved in the memes, potentially making these collectibles more valuable.
In all cases, the company intends to share revenue generated through these games and activities with the owners of the Cryptons featured in a starring role.
How buying a Crypton works The price of every Crypton is clearly indicated on the website, and some of them are yet to be purchased for the first time.
An owner can prevent their Cryptons from being lost by paying a one-time protection fee and setting their own price.
The smart contract being used by the platform enables special fundraiser Cryptons to be created, with all proceeds from the sale of a collectible going to a good cause instead. Once a certain target is reached - 200 ETH, for example - the Crypton reverts back to a for-profit collectible.
According to the company, active discussions are already under way with a female crypto celebrity, with a Crypton in her image being prepared as the last few details are finalized.
