Due to the cryptocurrency aspect of the app, this project was featured in a blog
post regarding up-and-coming projects on
the XRP Ledger. My project was one
of the first interviewed by onXRP, a crypto
exchange managing millions of dollars
in tokenized assets. You can read it
here.
This project has been in development since 2021 and originally started as a
game involving players being rewarded with cryptocurrency + NFTs for taking
care of their pet.
At the project's inception there was an "airdrop" to XRP wallet owners who set up
a trustline for my "xPug" token (which is a token built on the XRP Ledger). But in
order to be sent the tokens I made a requirement they had to draw a picture of a
hat they wanted added to the game.
I received over 3000 responses and it took weeks of work + help from a friend to
sort through all of them. My favorites are posted below (top 3 were modeled).
