The Fold AR game within the Fold app is a cryptocurrency-focused pastime for players that will enable them to partake in an interactive experience that will reward them in digital currency. The game comes as something of a take on Pokémon GO but replaces the digital monsters with cryptocurrency that they must go around town collecting. The game will spawn a block between one and 50-feet away from the player every 10-minutes for theme to track down, which helps to actualize the process of Bitcoin mining.
The Fold AR game puts a focus on the play-to-earn model and is likely to be a hit amongst consumers who are just getting started out with cryptocurrency or who might already have extensive knowledge of the market.
