A team of Flappy Bird fans has caused controversy by announcing the re-release of the Flappy Bird game as a crypto project, drawing criticism from users on X (formerly Twitter). The new version of the game aims to be a web3 game on Solana and claims to be the world's first open-source, community-owned Web 2 and Web 3 game. References to a cryptocurrency token called $FLAP and features like staking and airdrops were found on web-based versions of Flappy Bird, but it is unclear if these plans will be implemented. Users have labeled the project as a scam and expressed dissatisfaction with how the team acquired the rights to Flappy Bird. The original game gained popularity in 2013 for its addictive gameplay and was shut down by its creator in 2014.
