Startup behind a couple of blockchain games, most notably Flow and Cryptokitties.

Basics

  • Have developed a smart contract based wallet specifically to interact with blockchain games. The wallet is built to be "gas-free" and with features like account recoverability and fiat on-ramps. The trade-off is it requires email address and phone number for verification purposes. 

Compliance

"Dapper Labs has cut off payment services for non-fungible token owners with links to Russia, citing European Union sanctions in a Thursday blog post. Impacted users can still look at their NFTs, but they cannot move funds, gift tokens, sell NFTs or buy new ones, Dapper said in the post, citing its payment processor."

Cheese Wizards

"Within 24 hours of letting our player community know about Cheeze Wizards hitting Ethereum mainnet, one of our community members alerted our security auditors to a bug in the smart contract. The Cheeze Wizards smart contacts were carefully designed so that we have no ability to withdraw the prize pool (or otherwise alter any of the Tournament state) once they are published. As a result, the only way we can fix the bug is by deploying a new contract. The good news is that the bug isn’t a complete deal-breaker. We can still let the vulnerable tournament run, it’ll just be one where fighting dirty is allowed. We call it Cheeze Wizards: Unpasteurized."

Cryptokitties

  • Is using Infura, according to their website (13-4-2020).
  • "Cryptokitties is a blockchain-based virtual game (runs on Ethereum) that allows players to adopt, raise, and trade virtual cats. The game was made by Vancouver based blockchain company Axiom Zen. However, what is truly important to remember is that this is the first known application of DAPP for leisure and recreation.
  • Sales of Cryptokitties have been through the roof. People have spent more than twelve million dollars buying these cryptokitties."
  • At the launch it became such a hype that the Ethereum blockchain got congested, which led to a scaling question around the chain.
  • Will move towards the Flow blockchain.

Flow

  • Building (12-9-2019) a blockchain called Flow which is aimed at a specific games use-case. "In a technical primer shared with CoinDesk, Dapper Labs says that Flow is especially designed for “composability” where one developer can use code from one application in a wholly other one. It writes: “Flow empowers developers to safely and easily build on top of each others’ code, creating entirely new products and services at an accelerating pace. This feature of blockchain, known as composability, has the potential to unlock a new approach to software development.”" 

FUSD

Dapper Labs has announced a new dollar-backed stablecoin made in partnership with Prime Trust, the financial infrastructure provider. Called FUSD, it will work much like familiar stablecoins Circle’s USDC and Gemini’s GUSD in that it will simply be one-for-one backed by U.S dollars deposited at Prime Trust. Notably, Gharegozlou said FUSD also represents the first ERC-20-like token on Flow, enabled by the Flow Client Library (FCL), a new tool that will enable faster development on the network.

Laffont has previously invested in Airtable, Instacart, Spotify, Bitmain and other well-known companies."
