CryptantCrab Bounty now open; Upcoming Pre-Sale Details Within

Did you know there’s a hobby in Southeast Asia based on fighting fish? This centuries-old practice involves placing beautiful but aggressive fish in a tank together and letting them fight it out for dominance.

Imagine how much cooler it would be if it were crabs instead. Except, you don’t have to, because iCandy Interactive has brought the idea to life with CryptantCrab, a blockchain-backed game based on the popular Crab War.

Each crab in CryptantCrab has its own unique Crab Heart, which contains that crab’s core properties, strengths, and weaknesses. On top of that, the crab is made up of various parts and sport its own elemental affinity: Water, Fire, Spirit, Metal, and Earth.

These elements interact with each other in rock-paper-scissors style and play a role in terms of affinity and resistance for the CryptantCrabs. More importantly, the crab parts can be mutated into different permutations, offering players more than a million possible combinations.

You play the game by getting into PvP battles with other players’ unique, multi-colored crabs. Winning these earns you experience points, and Cryptant, the game’s currency. Cryptant is the stuff you spend when you want to mutate the crab parts.

Best of all, your crab is built on the Ethereum blockchain, which means it can’t be altered or messed with by anybody – not even the developers. It exists as a virtual but totally independent entity, and it improves its capabilities and looks according to the things you do with it.

Win a lot of fights and your crab will grow ever more unstoppable and therefore gain higher value. If you want an idea of the market potential it can have, consider this: a CryptoKitty sold just last month for $170,000.

Unfortunately, you can’t play CryptantCrab properly just yet. The game has a pre-sale opening at the end of this month. Those who want to join even earlier, you can get involved by participating in the Bounty event, which is running right now.

By signing yourself up to the Bounty event, you’ll have the chance to score a free CryptantCrab worth 0.5 ETH (about $100*). Once the event is over, you’ll be able to join the pre-sale that kicks off on October 25 (12am, +0 UTC). The latter offers Legendary CryptantCrab variants that are event exclusive and the coveted Pioneer status.

So scuttle on over to the game’s website here to check it out.

*CryptantCrab value is based on pre-sale release and market forces
