20 May 2020:Animoca Brands announces that its tower-defense mobile gameCrazy Defense Heroeshas successfully completed the sale of 100Super Value Chests, each containing a collectible card non-fungible token (NFT), Gems (the in-game premium currency ofCrazy Defense Heroes), and VIP points.

TheCrazy Defense Heroescollectible card NFTs obtained in the Super Value Chests can now be traded athttps://opensea.io/assets/crazy-defense-heroes. The Super Value Chests sale marks the first foray ofCrazy Defense Heroes- a traditional mobile game - to explore opportunities provided by blockchain technology, and represents the first of several planned actions to overcome the divide between the worlds of traditional gaming and cryptographic gaming. The true digital ownership of NFTs is fundamentally different from the standard licensing model used to manage in-game assets. In traditional games, a publisher grants players certain limited licenses to utilise the game and the assets therein, but those licenses can be revoked at any time (for example, when the game shuts down). Effectively, gamers do not truly own any of the assets inside traditional games - despite the fact that gamers invest significant time and money in games. The adoption of blockchain and NFTs could change all this. Animoca Brands will continue exploring the potential of blockchain and NFTs attached to traditional mobile games, challenging the standard model of game licensing and fostering the mass adoption of blockchain and NFT technologies.
