Cryptocats - Cute little 8-bit cats on the Ethereum Blockchain

Crytopcats are cute little 8-bit cats on the Ethereum Blockchain. The ownership for each of these cats is stored on Ethereum. Ethereum is a decentralised platform that runs the smart contracts, powering the CryptoCat ownership. Applications on Ethereum run exactly as programmed without any possibility of censorship or third party interference.

Cats are amazing. Also the blockchain. We've been thinking about some similar stuff. Congrats on the launch team, this looks super neat.

@mackflavelle Haha, so much cat blockchain competition! Nice to meet you Mack. I must say, when we heard about Crypto Kitties it motivated us to try and get to Main Net first. Oh, and we are working on some special cats to give to you and the team :)

@gendry_morales 🤘 You beat us to the punch! But we'll be on the court soon! Maybe we can get a cryptocat into cryptokitties. Wanna email Mack @ axiomzen.co and we'll see if it can work?

@zackshapiro Thanks Zack! We were inspired by the Larva Labs guys and the CryptoPunks. They are super cool guys, excellent 8bit artists and created the Punk Kitten for us.

Just a really great idea and concept based on ethereum. Seems simple at a glance but in reality it opens our eyes to the possibilities of blockchain technologies and how they change the way we look at ownership.

Pros:

A great example of the power of ethereum

Cons:

None, I love cryptocats.

Thanks Adam! We are started small to understand the uniqueness and possibilities in blockchain product development, and have learnt so much from our own ownership plus the feedback from our users and what other people want to see next. More cats and features coming soon!

@extimetraveler We love the Moon Cat Rescue as well, they have created some nice features around the cats. We will have to find some unique and different features to impress you I see.

Hi! I’m Gendry and am the product lead for the CryptoCats. We created these cats to get first hand experience building full stack blockchain use cases on the Ethereum platform. It’s a great way for us to learn about how people interact with a blockchain experience and what makes it uniquely different as a product. We all come from a modern product delivery specialisation, and are applying story mapping, lean startup thinking, a stronger focus on UX and an incremental release strategy to blockchain products. We initially release 12 cats on the blockchain to challenge ourselves on finding the smallest MVP that could go live on the Ethereum Main Net to test our product, and plan to learn and adapt from there. We have plenty of new features and cat releases coming soon! And we are having an absolute blast making this, and will be sharing our journey along the way to help people learn more about ethereum, tokens and the blockchain in a fun way. Feel free to ask us any questions!
