The price tags of NFTs are often hefty enough to knock the eyeballs out. If you belong to the large majority of people who still don’t get why poorly made digital artworks and scribbles are at the forefront of the NFT boom, CryptoPets will cheer you up.
It is a new breed of 9999 Augmented Reality digital pets; a pay-off of skilled handcrafting and algorithmic generation, the designs honor the pixelated forerunners of modern games.
While minting has already begun for institutional buyers, fair minting scripts have been finalized for public minting. The game prototype is nearing completion. It includes newly developed interoperability protocols that will allow any NFT to be avatars in any game.
Metaverse ready
CryptoPets refuse to be digital pets that end up being locked up in a wallet. They have a larger scheme in the interoperable and open-world blockchain. In fact, CryptoPets is the first project selected to be a part of the Omniverse. The multi-world project is kept under wraps now. More details will be published as it crosses new milestones. It is assumed that CryptoPets owners will get exclusive access, privileges, and rewards in the Omniverse.

The @CryptopetsAR team shipped me an honorary dcf pet
I love it – clearly a high effort NFT, and I don’t think there’s unique stuff like this on solana yet
There’s this web tool and you just scan the NFT and the pet comes out of it 😂 pic.twitter.com/1IoC4WLai9
