Once the initial run sells out the only way to acquire new MLB Cryptos will be from other users on the MLB Crypto Marketplace.

In a recent interview with Yahoo Technology Kenny Gersh, MLB’s executive VP of gaming and new business ventures, said that MLB has been eyeing cryptocurrency for a long time, and rejected other ideas before settling on doing a game with Lucid Sight.

Lucid Sight is a game studio comprised of team members with AAA game experience developing independent games as well as those based on popular brands such as Tomb Raider, Barbie, and Justice League VR. Lucid Sight also has proven blockchain game experience with its recent successful pre-sale launch of the highly anticipated CSC - Crypto Space Commander. Lucid Sight’s licensing deal with MLB will bring to market the first blockchain game based on a global sports league.

“Collectibles have always been a key component of the MLB experience, and we’re excited to bring a whole new flavor of digital souvenirs to our fans,” said Kenny Gersh, EVP, Gaming & New Business Ventures, Major League Baseball. “MLB Crypto Baseball will be the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and our fans’ passions for their favorite teams.”

MLB Crypto Baseball will be a seachange, combining blockchain technology, mobile games and live sports to provide unforgettable experiences and unique engagement opportunities as well as enhancing the ways sports fans collect limited edition memorabilia. The game will be an Ethereum dApp built in the Unity 3D cross-platform game engine.
