Key Developments & Data
Proof of Play shuts down and open-sources all Pirate Nation assets.
The developers failed to find the sustainable scale they were looking for.
They didn't survive.
So their Unity app, smart contracts, and NFT artwork hit GitHub under a CC0 license.
And the independent Pirate Nation Foundation takes over token maintenance—even as the asset traded at about $0.001285 on Wednesday, down about 99.7% from its all-time high of $0.4757.
"We couldn't build a product and sustainable business that proved out this thesis at scale." — Proof of Play
Venture capital cannot substitute for a functional consumer product.
