E th ereu m – A distributed public blockchain network that can execute code
Smart Co ntracts – Code that can execute on the Ethereum network

Ether – The native currency of Ethereum used to execute smart contracts
Wallet – Software to manage keys and generate transactions e.g.
MetaMask Explorer – Software to navigate a blockchain e.g. E t h e r s c a n

Gas limit- The gas limit is the maximum amount of gas that you are

“Crypto Kitties are digital, collectible c a t s built on the E th ereu m blockchain.
They can be bought and sold using ether, and breed to create new cats with
exciting traits and varying levels of cuteness.”

BACKGROUND
BLOCKCHAIN BASED
AXIOM ZEN -2 DEC 2017
ND
DECENTRALIZE APPLICATION FOR LEISURE AND

RECREATION
MORE THEN TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS
HARD CODED ON ETHEREUM NETWORK
MORE THEN 50,000 CRYPOKITTIES
PURPOSE
 BUYING, SELLING AND TO BREADING DIGITAL CATS
MAKING BLOCKCHAIN VIRAL FOR FUTURE PURPOSE
YOU CAN BE RICH BY CREATING ,SELLING RARE CATS
GENETIC ALGORITHM
• IS AN OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE USED TO SOLVE NON-
LINEAR OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS. IT WORKS PRETTY
MUCH THE WAY BIOLOGICAL GENETICS WORKS.
• THE ALGORITHM THEN GENERATES SUBSEQUENT

SOLUTIONS FROM THESE PARENT SOLUTIONS USING BIO-
INSPIRED OPERATORS LIKE: SELECTION, CROSSOVER, AND
MUTATION.
• WE WILL ONLY BE USING BINARY CASES I.E. CASES WHERE

THE GENES CAN BE REPRESENTED AS 1’S AND 0’S.
KINDS OF GA
SELECTION:
CROSSOVER:
MUTATION
CRYPTOKITTIES USES THE GENETIC ALGORITHM TO CREATE A
NEW KITTY. IT USES THE CROSSOVER MECHANISM TO “SIRE” A
CHILD GENOME USING TWO PARENT KITTIES. THIS CHILD
GENOME IS USED TO GENERATE A NEW KITTY.
NON FUNGIBLE TOKEN-
ERC721
FUNGIBLE/NON FUNGIBLE
ERC-721
THE ERC-721 TOKEN STANDARD HELPS CREATE NON-
FUNGIBLE TOKENS. IN MANY WAYS,
ERC-721 GAINS ITS NON-FUNGIBLE PROPERTIES BY
CAPTURING THE OWNERSHIP OF THAT PARTICULAR
TOKEN. THIS IS WHY TAKE OWNERSHIP FUNCTIONS ARE
INCLUDED IN THE ERC-721 STANDARD
HOW TO PLAY CRYPTO
KITTIES
FIRST, YOU NEED SOME ETHER
INSTALL META MASK WALLET
TRANSFER SOME ETHER TO YOUR WALLET
CREATE A CRYPTO KITTY ACCOUNT
GO TO THE KITTIES MARKETPLACE
BUY SOME KITTIES

HOW TO BREED
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT ONLY THE DAME (MOTHER) GETS
TO KEEP THE CRYPTO KITTY, SO IF YOU HAVE A SIRE (FATHER) YOU
WON’T GET ANYTHING. HOWEVER, SOME PEOPLE CHARGE FOR THIS
SERVICE (KNOWN AS A SIRING FEE) IF THEY HAVE A RARE SIRE!
AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN, CLICK ON THE SEARCH BOX.
BELOW THE SEARCH BOX, TICK THE BOX NEXT TO SIRING.
YOU CAN SOMETIMES FIND SIRE’S THAT ARE HAPPY TO BREED FOR FREE,
WHICH IS GREAT! I LIKE THE LOOK OF KITTY 5144811. FIND THE SIRE YOU WANT
TO BREED WITH AND CLICK ON ITS PICTURE.

SMART CONTRACTS
Kitties Have Codes? You Gotta
Be Kitten Me!
Yes!
• CONTRACT KITTYACCESSCONTROL
• CONTRACT KITTYBASE IS KITTYACCESSCONTROL
• CONTRACT KITTYOWNERSHIP IS KITTYBASE, ERC721
• CONTRACT KITTYBREEDING IS KITTYOWNERSHIP
• CONTRACT KITTYAUCTION IS KITTYBREEDING
• CONTRACT KITTYMINTING IS KITTYAUCTION
• CONTRACT KITTYCORE IS KITTYMINTING
IMPORTANT POINTS
OPEN SOURCE GAME CODE RUNS ON THE ETHEREUM
,ALLOWING THE SELLERS TO SELL, BUY AND BREED THE
COLLECTABLE CATS.
CODE IS WRITTEN IN SOLIDITY , WHICH CONTAINS
FUNCTIONS FOR HOE TO CREATE CATS, WHAT ARE THEIR
FEATURES ,OWNERSHIPS ETC.
IMAGE DATA IS STORED ON WEB SERVER, HENCE NOT
COMPLETELY DECENTRALIZED.
KITTYACCESSCONTROL:
 THIS CONTRACT SETS THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF

THE ENTIRE CONTRACT
VARIOUS ADDRESSES AND CONSTRAINTS FOR
OPERATIONS THAT CAN BE EXECUTED ONLY BY SPECIFIC
ROLES. NAMELY CEO, CFO, AND COO.
MODIFIERS FUNCTIONS
PAUSED FUNCTIONS
CENTRALIZED
KITTYBASE:
This is where we set ground rules for kitty creation.
KITTYOWNERSHIP:
KITTIES AS TOKENS
• CRYPTOKITTIES CONFORMS TO THE ERC721 TOKEN SPEC,
A NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN TYPE THAT LENDS ITSELF
REALLY WELL TO TRACKING OWNERSHIP OF DIGITAL
COLLECTABLES LIKE DIGITAL PLAYING CARDS OR RARE
ITEMS
KITTYBREEDING

THIS IS THE CONTRACT WHERE WE SET THE FUNCTIONS REQUIRED FOR
TWO KITTIES TO BREED AND PRODUCE A NEW KITTY. LET’S TAKE A LOOK
AT HOW THE FUNCTION WORKS

MATING PROCESS

BIRTHING PROCESS

THE “EXTERNAL GENETIC COMBINATION CONTRACT” (GENESCIENCE) IS
STORED IN A SEPARATE CONTRACT, WHICH IS NOT OPEN SOURCE.

ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY THE CEO

THIS EXTERNAL GENESCIENCE CONTRACT IS LATER USED IN THE
GIVEBIRTH() FUNCTION

THE KITTYBREEDING CONTRACT CONTAINS A METHOD FOR THE CEO TO
SET THE ADDRESS OF THIS EXTERNAL CONTRACT
CryptoKitties had a glitch
that allowed for unlimited
automatic likes
• THERE EXISTED A GLITCH THAT ALLOWED
USERS TO MAKE AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF
MONEY IN CRYPTOKITTIES THAT NO ONE
HAS BEEN AWARE OF, OR SO THIS GUY IS
CLAIMING.
• ROBERT DURST, A ‘FULL STACK ENGINEER
• HE AUTOMATED THE LIKING PROCESS
• GENERATE A PUBLIC/PRIVATE KEY-PAIR.
• DIGITALLY SIGN THE WORD “CRYPTOKITTIES” AND SEND
THIS SIGNATURE ALONG WITH YOUR PUBLIC KEY TO THE
CRYPTOKITTIES API.
• RECEIVE BACK A LOGIN TOKEN.

• USE THIS LOGIN TOKEN TO LIKE A CAT.
• REPEAT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE.
 Public Ethereum network ( approx 20,000 nodes)
 Other applications can call the Crypto Kittie smart contracts
 True ownership of your digital assets determined via private keys
 Secure, can’t change asset state without signed transaction
27
 Nearly Broke the Ethereum Network
❌ Increased Transaction Fee s a s usage / congestion increased
❌ Ether Price Volatility affects costs and usage on public network
❌ Highlights the Scaling Challenge for Public Blockchains
