Uniswap Labs’ Crypto: The Game Nominated for Emmy Award
Uniswap Labs has made history with its online survival game, Crypto: The Game (CTG), as it is being considered for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Emerging Media Program category. This nomination marks the first time a crypto project has been recognized for such a prestigious award.
CTG will be competing against various innovative media programs, including the 2023 Billboard Awards, Fallout: Vault 33, and projects from well-known figures such as singer Doja Cat, film director Eli Roth, actress Lucy Liu, and composer Jean-Michel Jarre.
Crypto: The Game follows a reality show format where ten “tribes” compete in daily challenges to survive and win the prize. Each game season lasts ten days, with gameplay unfolding in real-time on the Base blockchain. Fans can follow the action through platforms like X and Farcaster or a dedicated podcast.
Players pay an entry fee of 0.1 Ether (ETH) to participate in CTG, with the last survivor claiming the pot. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that serve as entry tickets sold out within 15 minutes in the second season. Throughout the game, losing tribes vote members out, and players can gain personal immunity by promoting the game on social media.
The acquisition of CTG by Uniswap Labs on June 11 ensures that the game’s founders will continue to develop it as part of the Uniswap Labs team. The potential Emmy nomination highlights the growing intersection between crypto and mainstream media.
With the Emmy nomination ballot announcement approaching, all eyes are on Crypto: The Game and its potential to make history in the crypto industry.
