The post ‘Sugar Match’ Puts a Crypto Twist on ‘Candy Crush’ via Tezos Etherlink Network appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Sugar Match is a new mobile puzzle game akin to Candy Crush Saga, albeit with crypto features. The game is built around the CNDY token minted on Tezos layer-2 network, Etherlink.

Each participant pays an entry fee to join, and the winner walks away with all of the CNDY tokens.  Players will also be able to earn the token via seasonal tournaments, leaderboard competitions, and loyalty programs. “This structure solves the… The post ‘Sugar Match’ Puts a Crypto Twist on ‘Candy Crush’ via Tezos Etherlink Network appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
