Overview
CryptoRaggies is a set of cartoon ragdoll-cat collectibles paired with a free arcade game anyone can play in a browser. The game, RaggieRun, is an endless runner where you dodge obstacles, face a boss, and chase a weekly leaderboard spot1. Owners play as their own cat, and its coat, background, and accessories become powers in the game2.
The cats are NFTs on Cardano, meaning ownership of each one is recorded on a public ledger rather than in a company database. CryptoRaggies wraps its own tools around them: a light wallet, a marketplace, and a hub called RaggieWorld where owners stake their cats and spend RaggieCoin (RAG), the currency players earn in the game and spend on in-game items3. The project is run by Ragsters Productions Pte. Ltd., a company registered in Singapore4.
Key Features
- Play without buying anything. RaggieRun is free to start, and players who own no cat borrow one that an owner has staked, and a share of that session's score is credited back to the owner1.
- Stake without locking your cats away. Staking reads regular ownership snapshots instead of parking the NFT in a contract, so the cat stays in your wallet, much as delegating ADA to a stake pool leaves the ADA in yours5.
- A wallet made for a phone game. RaggiePurrse installs to a home screen as a web app rather than a browser extension, which lets it connect to the mobile build of RaggieRun as well as to the project's websites6.
- Its own marketplace and auction house. RagAlley runs fixed-price listings and timed auctions through the team's own smart contracts, the on-chain programs that hold an item until a sale settles, and applies creator royalties on each trade7.
- Tooling other collections can buy. The same system CryptoRaggies built for itself is sold to other Cardano projects: creating NFTs, sending them out to holders in bulk, and running a marketplace, with support for CIP-68, a Cardano standard for NFT details that can be changed after minting4.
What to Expect
Most day-to-day activity happens in RaggieWorld, a members' hub that opens once you connect a Cardano wallet. It holds a chat room, peer-to-peer trading, a crafting screen, a store selling in-game add-ons paid for in RAG, and a page where expired add-ons are burned for raffle entries8.
The game sits at raggie.run and plays like a casual mobile arcade title: short runs, superpowers, boss fights, and a weekly leaderboard. It runs in a desktop or mobile browser, and there is an iPhone and iPad build on the App Store carrying a 9+ age rating9.
Raggiepedia, the CryptoRaggies documentation site, walks through the collection, the token, staking, and step-by-step guides for listing an item or starting an auction10. Behind it is a three-person core team, with the design work drawn by a single artist11.
