A team claiming to be fans of Flappy Bird plans to reboot the game as a cryptocurrency project, with users criticizing it as a "crypto scam."

ChainCatcher news, according to Protos, a team claiming to be Flappy Bird fans plans to re-launch the classic game as a crypto project, but this initiative has faced strong opposition from users.

The new version will transform Flappy Bird into a Solana-based Web3 game and claims to be "the world's first open-source, community-owned Web 2 and Web 3 game." The project also mentions the FLAP token, which is planned to be issued on the Telegram blockchain, offering staking options and free airdrops.

However, it is currently unclear whether the token will be launched on Solana or Telegram, or if these crypto plans have been abandoned. Users have criticized the project as a "crypto scam" and expressed dissatisfaction with the team's method of acquiring the rights to Flappy Bird.

It is reported that Flappy Bird is a bird-flying game released in 2013, which became the most popular free app on iTunes in the United States and China in January 2014, and was described by the UK App Store that same month as "the new Angry Birds." The game also became the most downloaded free app in January.
