Crypto: The Game has secured a spot on the ballot for the 2024 Emmy Awards in the category of Best Emerging Media Program. This exciting news was announced on June 14, marking a significant milestone for the blockchain-based entertainment industry.
If Crypto: The Game receives enough votes to make it to the final ballot by June 24, it will be a major achievement in terms of recognition for this innovative interactive game. The Emmys website states that nominees in the interactive media categories are chosen based on their exceptional creativity, impact, and ability to push the boundaries of traditional program formats.
Some of the other contenders vying for a spot on the official ballot include Versailles 400 by Jean-Michael Jarre, The Pirate Queen featuring Lucy Liu, and Doja Cat: The Scarlet Tour in VR. This recognition is a testament to the growing popularity and influence of blockchain-based entertainment.
Founder of Crypto: The Game, Dylan Abrusacato, expressed his excitement by stating, “First they ignore you. Then they fight you. Then you’re placed on an Emmy ballot.” The game, built on the Base blockchain, has gained attention for its unique format where players are divided into tribes and compete in challenges to win cryptocurrency prizes.
The game gained widespread attention earlier this year when a player known as “MFL” from Japan won $115,000 worth of Ethereum in the first season. The second season, which sold out in record time, saw player 733 taking home $210,000 in Ethereum.
In a recent development, Uniswap Labs acquired Crypto: The Game, signaling a growing demand for the upcoming Season 3. The CTG team will now join Uniswap Labs to work on the new season and explore on-chain activations for the Uniswap community.
While the start date for Season 3 is yet to be announced, fans can look forward to new and innovative consumer crypto experiences. The official nominees for the Emmy Awards will be revealed on July 17, with the ceremony scheduled to take place on September 15 in Los Angeles, CA. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting journey for Crypto: The Game.
