The company behind popular Ethereum-based game CryptoKitties has quietly suspended its “CurryKitties” promotion, which allowed users to purchase limited edition digital cats modeled after the likeness of NBA superstar Stephen Curry.
It’s unclear when precisely the promotion was taken down, but its web page has replaced with a message explaining that the campaign has been suspended indefinitely since — contrary to CryptoKitties’ original understanding — the Golden State Warriors point guard was not an active participant in the promotion.
“The CurryKitties are taking a cat nap,” the page now reads, adding:
“We have reason to believe Steph wasn’t as involved in the CurryKitties as we thought. Until we’re sure he’s an active participant, we’re suspending the campaign.
As CCN reported, CryptoKitties had launched the CurryKitties promotion earlier this month in partnership with Moji, an emoji app development company owned by Curry.

The companies together released three CurryKitties modeled after Stephen Curry’s likeness and had planned to auction them directly from his personal wallet. The digital cats, which are structured as non-fungible ERC-721 tokens, were expected to rival the six-figure sale prices seen at the height of CryptoKitty mania in December.
In March, CryptoKitties raised $12 million in Series A funding from a group of venture capital firms and tech investors led by Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures.
The CurryKitties campaign was viewed as a way to bring CryptoKitties and other decentralized applications (DApps) further into the mainstream, as — despite a widespread belief that digital collectibles will be one of the first major consumer use cases for blockchain technology — DApps have yet to acquire many active users.
CryptoKitties, for instance, has just 452 daily active users, according to DApp Radar, and — excluding decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges — no Ethereum-based DApp has more than 1,000 active users.
CryptoKitties creator Axiom Zen did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside of business hours.

Open Positions at CCN: Full Time and Part Time Journalists Wanted. Races for Senate are usually relatively similar. There are a few candidates, some routine bickering, a few shocking allegations, and enough muckraking to make even progressive era journalists look like they were embellishing their subjects. Occasionally though, a wrench is thrown in and shakes up the entire election. This year that person was Austin Petersen. Political opinions aside, Petersen seems to embody the libertarian spirit put forth by the more anarchical members of the cryptocurrency community. In our short conversation, he continuously pointed out the failings of big government, talked about his thoughts on where cryptocurrency could go and spoke about some of the shortcomings of centralized platforms in the era of fake news. Petersen is an imposing figure. If you Google him the first thing you’ll see is him holding a gun and smirking. His career is atypical, to say the least. He’s been a model...
The Weekly This week we reported about a suggested solution to 51% attack s, a hacked exchange that was blamed for tanking the market and a cannabis-themed cryptocurrency bringing peace to the world . We also learned, in this week’s most commented-on article, who really controls Bitcoin and why it won’t become a global currency, according to the CEO of Ripple . Hack Takes a Toll on Crypto Markets The big news on Monday was another hacked South Korean crypto exchange. While the figures stolen were much smaller than past events and the trading venue involved much lesser known, the incident was widely blamed for the drops across the markets due to its timing. The alleged hacker stole $19.5 million in NPXS, $13.8 million of Aston X, $5.8 million in tokens of Dent, over $1.1 million of Tron, and at least five other tokens, all from Coinrail exchange users. Other subjects covered include a hospital where you can pay with tokens and a “blockchain” based cul...
