CryptoZoo (game)

CryptoZoo was marketed as an "autonomous ecosystem" where users could buy, sell, and trade exotic animals and hybrids using non-fungible tokens. Collectors purchased cartoon egg images as NFTs, with the expectation that they could hatch these eggs into randomly chosen animal images.[3] The project also introduced a linked cryptocurrency called $ZOO.

Despite raising millions of dollars by selling NFTs and crypto coins, CryptoZoo failed to deliver on its promises.[4][5] A project roadmap outlined various games incorporating the animal NFT images, but none of these features materialized, and no playable game has been published.

Logan Paul initially promoted CryptoZoo as a "really fun game that makes you money".[6] He claimed to have spent around one million dollars on developing the project, emphasizing the massive team behind it.[3] However, after the initial hype, Paul stopped discussing CryptoZoo and seemingly abandoned the project.[7]

Cryptocurrency scam investigator Stephen Findeisen (known as Coffeezilla on YouTube) exposed CryptoZoo as a scam.[8][3] In response, Logan Paul posted an angry video, admitting mistakes in hiring "conmen" and "felons" for the project.[3] He threatened to sue the investigator but later deleted the video and apologized.[3]
