CryptoKitties Maker Launches Dr. Seuss Collectibles on Flow Blockchain

The developer of the Ethereum (ETH)-powered crypto-collectibles game CryptoKitties has teamed up with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to launch a line of digital collectibles based hit children’s books like The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! on its Flow blockchain network.

The CryptoKitties mastermind, Dapper Labs, stated in a blog post that Dr. Seuss-themed character collectibles would be issued using smart contracts on Flow.

Dr. Seuss books have sold more than 700 million copies worldwide.

Roham Gharegozlou, the CEO of Dapper Labs, explained how the new app would work stating,

“Anything fans own on Flow, they own forever … [and] because Flow is a decentralized network, fans’ collections are permanent in a way that no piece of software could be without crypto. Developers of wallets, apps, and virtual worlds can also build new features directly for owners, benefiting from the power of composability and interoperability possible on Flow.”

Dapper Labs launched CryptoKitties in November 2017.

The company introduced Flow, a blockchain network designed to drive its apps, games and the digital assets that power them, in September last year.

Flow’s development was supported by a financing round in which Dapper Labs acquired funds from a number of notable players, including the aforementioned Warner Music and Animoca, as well as Andreessen Horowitz crypto fund Accomplice, Union Square Ventures, Venrock, AppWorks, Digital Currency Group, Autonomous Partners, Fenbushi Digital, SV Angel, Version One, CMT and CoinFund.
