Wow. It’s been an insane 24 hours since launch. Etherbots has more than doubled the number and volume of CryptoKitty transactions.

For a few hours Etherbots transactions represented 5% of the entire Ethereum network. We’ve had robot parts selling for 21 ETH ($18,000 USD), thousands of individual duels, hit the front page of /r/ethereum, and a few lucky individuals have even forged our launch-exclusive body, never again available after 72 hours from launch.

A rare shadow Ancient Protector sold for 21 ETH 5 minutes before this piece was published.

I’m writing this with my incredibly sleep-deprived, but incredibly excited team. This game has surpassed our wildest expectations — especially considering it’s the most ambitious game on the blockchain to date — and we’re stoked that people are loving it as much as we do. So…

WHERE TO FROM HERE?

We have a really exciting roadmap for the next month.

1. International translations of the website in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Russian.
2. Launch on OPSkins/Wax.io, with millions of monthly unique visitors.
3. Continual updates: weekly tournaments with massive prizes, and some secret content ;)
