Cryptocotylar became the first in-game collectable object about environmental issues.

Note that the game CryptoKitties has repeatedly been used for charitable purposes. In may, the head of the art Department CryptoKitties, Jill Gaspar (Gaspar Chun-Li), introduced the Cyber Dimension Celestial Kitty, pushed under the hammer for $140 000. These funds were used to support the blockchain and art industry.
