THE GAME

Build a game people want to play.

Build a game. It can be any game. What we want to see is games that people will actually want to play. We've seen that games have brought some of the most valuable activity to crypto, like CryptoKitties on Ethereum or StepN on Solana. It can be a game that involves money. It could be a game that involves sports. It could be a game that involves exercise or work. The best games will include a viral loop that lets you go viral and gain traction, and we'll be keeping a close eye on whoever can do the best marketing.
