16/03/2022 Crypto Unicorns Closes $26M Token Sale Ahead of NFT Game Launch
The popular Polygon-based NFT collection will introduce its first play-to-earn game later this month.
Crypto Unicorns, a leadingnon-fungible token(NFT) collection on the Polygon blockchain, has completed a $26 million token sale that included purchases from TCG and Backed VC. The sale comes as Crypto Unicorns prepares to launch a web-based play-to-earn game later this month.
- Other token sale purchasers included Acme Capital, Bitkraft Ventures, Delphi Digital, Infinity Ventures Crypto, Polygon Studios, CoinFund, BreederDAO and Emfarsis.
- Developed by San Francisco-based Laguna Games, the Crypto Unicorns game will combine unicorn and land NFTs in a digital pet collecting and farming game.
- The web-based game will go live later this month, followed by the launches of new mini-games, including Unicorn jousting, racing and battles.
- Funds raised from token sales are held in the treasury of the Crypto Unicorns decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Participants in the sale will play a role in the DAO’s future governance decisions.
- “We've developed Crypto Unicorns from the start to be a community-run game and the completion of this token sale is a big step toward that,” Laguna Games CEO and co-founder Aron Beierschmitt said in a press release. “We want to move away from the extractive nature of free-to-play and nurture game economies that are owned by communities to embrace the core fundamentals of owning in-game items.”

The Damage #1/25
What's the damage?
The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition.
To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”.
Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull.
The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background.
The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).
