A blockchain game CryptoKitties, launched in November 2017.[1] The game made headlines in December 2017 when a cryptokitty character - an in-game virtual pet - was sold for more than US$100,000.[2] CryptoKitties illustrated scalability problems for games on Ethereum when it created significant congestion on the Ethereum network with about 30% of all Ethereum transactions being for the game.[3]
Cryptokitties also demonstrated how blockchains can be used to catalog game assets (digital assets).[4]
