In this article, I will be explaining CryptoKitties market place.

CryptoKitties Marketplace

This is a market place which was developed in 2017 by Dapper developers and it is an ethereum based platform that support games, Cryptokitties is gaming platform which allows players to own their unique digital cats and add value to it by monetizing their kitties, This platform has made it possible for players to make money by just playing the game unlike the old ways of playing were by players only play games for fun.
