Cryptocotics has a dangerous competitor. One of the fans of computer games paid more than $100,000 in ETH for a virtual car in the F1 Delta Time blockchain game.

At first, it was necessary to compete for the right to purchase at an auction in which 40 people took part, but in the final stage, which lasted for 3 days, 2 people competed for the right to own a rare virtual car: Steve321 and Robert White. They offered 396 ETH and 360 ETH respectively, but at the last moment, an anonymous bidder known as “09E282” appeared who offered 415 ETH (about $101 336 at the purchase time). He became the owner of the car.

“1–1–1” will be the first unique car presented in the blockchain-game F1 Delta Time, as well as the first official irreplaceable token (NFT) in the game.

According to the project team members, a tokenized machine will be one of a kind. The goal of the F1 Delta Time Game game is to collect unique cars and their components, which will exist as irreplaceable tokens (NFT) of the ERC-721 standard.

Non-unique tokens (fungible) of the ERC-20 standard will act as currency. They will be used for transactions.

Blockchain games are gaining increasing popularity. Last year, in the Cryptokitties game, also based on the Ethereum blockchain, one user bought a kitten for $170,000, another bought a pet for $110,000.
