CryptoZoo is an NFT game that allows ZooKeepers to purchase NFT eggs using the game’s native token, ZOO. These eggs will hatch into animals that can be raised create hybrid animals.
Hybrids must be marketable and provide a zoo to ZooKeepers; Paul described the project in an August 21, 2021 podcast as “a really fun game that makes you money.”

Also, Paul suggested that the game’s art would be “handcrafted” by 10 different artists over the course of six months..
Hybrids were the focus of a September 11, 2021, video by Coffeezilla, in which he described the images as “a bunch of badly photoshopped Adobe stock photos.”.
Nevertheless, The CryptoZoo blog hasn’t posted any new content since April 20, leading some to speculate that development on the project has stopped..
During Coffeezilla’s three-part series on CryptoZoo, the YouTuber interviewed alleged contributors to the project. The investor, who claimed to still have eggs, asked the CryptoZoo team to “compensate loyal backers who have or are trying to rebuild the project.”.
Nevertheless, In his latest video, Paul said that they will “continue to build CryptoZoo”, sharing a teaser that says it will arrive in 2023/2024..
“Trust me, CryptoZoo is coming, I’ll make sure of it!”
Coffeezilla continues to question the veracity of these claims on Twitter..
Fear not CryptoZoo owners who have spent millions in 2021.
The main game COULD ship in 2023/24!!!! and definitely not because I made a video series about it. pic.twitter.com/SQydiLrZjR— Coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT) January 4, 2023

In turn, S. both Paul and Kofizila have invited each other to discuss the issue on their respective platforms, but neither has yet accepted either invitation..
According to CoinMarketCap: The zoo mark has fallen 99.5% in the past year, despite some gains in the past week following recent media attention..
Paul has been an avid supporter of cryptocurrencies and NFTs throughout 2021 and was one of the main promoters of the Dink Doink (DINK) cryptocurrency prior to the launch of CryptoZoo.. Dink Doink was also attacked by Coffeezilla in a video dated July 12, 2021.
