When two of your little critters breed, their new kitty’s appearance, biography, and traits are the resulting combination of each parent’s attributes, resulting in four billion possible variations.Īccording to the official site, Generation Zero cats are created by the developers themselves and let loose on the network every fifteen minutes. Each one is coded with a 256-bit genome, which includes a set of phenotypes (visible features) and genotypes (genetic features). How does it work? Each virtual cat is a unique object or “token” on the Ethereum blockchain, and it’s as real as a unit of Ether (ETH, or the unit of currency used on the trading platform). It’s proven to be very popular, as the game just launched a few days ago and has already zoomed to the top of all the transactions on the Ethereum network according to the tracking site ETH Gas Station, with more than 10 percent of all trading activity as of this writing. “Our approach to brand and marketing is, in part, a tongue-in-cheek critique of the ICO market today,” marketing director Elsa Wilk said in a press release. This is the most common way to make money in the game.įor example, in December 2017 a Cryptokitty has been sold for $100,000.CryptoKitties is developed by Axiom Zen, and it seems it’s taking a humorous approach while still hoping to make blockchain transactions and technology accessible to more casual users. Breed Kitties: When you breed your Kitties together and make offspring, you can sell either the parents or the offspring.You’ll get the majority of the payment, but every transaction made in Cryptokitties takes 3.75% of the sale for itself. Having your kitty placed as a Sire in the game is another way to earn money. Sire Kitties: Kitties don’t have gender.Purchase and Sell: You can buy kitties, and then turn around and re-sell them for a higher amount, especially if you have a cat with positive traits.You can use the kitty calculator to understand good kitty-traits thats sell for more on the market. To do it the right way, you’ll want to understand what would be good breeding patterns. Otherwise, you can choose one of your kitties to breed with another player’s Sires. To start breeding, simply choose one of your existing kitties to be the Sire (this would be the daddy kitty), then select one of your other kitties to be the Dame (the mother). Once you have your first one, you’re ready to start making money, mainly through breeding.
