The change in ownership follows the airing of the first and second seasons of the survival-themed game. The acquisition will retain CTG founders Dylan Abruscato, Bryan Lee, and Tyler Cagle as employees of Uniswap Labs, allowing them to continue developing the game.

Commenting on the acquisition, Uniswap co-founder Hayden Adams emphasized the decision’s importance, stating, “If we want to bring the world on-chain, we need more engaging on-chain experiences.”

The new Uniswap-Crypto the Game collaboration promises a myriad of benefits for both parties and their community members.

What to Expect 

Uniswap reassured CTG players that minimal changes would be made to the game dynamics, ensuring the preservation of its on-chain gameplay and features.
