Shrapnel is the world's first blockchain based triple A first person shooter game. It's built on avalanche and represents really a step change in quality from anything we've seen in the blockchain gaming space today. The team behind shrapnel has led productions on games like Call of Duty, BioShock, Halo, Star Wars and much more.
The team is also building an equally interesting infrastructure that makes games like shrapnel possible. It's currently codenamed Game Bridge, but by the sounds of it, it may drive some monumental shifts in our ability to produce composable and upgradable blockchain games. The shrapnel token trap just went live on a number of exchanges, and by the looks of it, the community engagement thus far has been just crazy.
