CyberKongz, a renowned NFT and Web3 project, faces claims from the SEC regarding the use of tokens in its blockchain game. The project team is determined to defend their vision of the future gaming space.
SEC's Claims about CyberKongz Tokens
For two years, CyberKongz has been in contact with the SEC, which, according to the project, misinterprets the use of tokens and smart contracts in games. The primary claim is that you cannot have a token alongside a blockchain game without registering it as a security. CyberKongz argues that this is incorrect and could have implications for the entire Web3.
CyberKongz's Response to the Claims
A key point of contention was the contract migration of 'Genesis Kongz' in April 2021. The SEC mistakenly referred to this as a 'sale,' while the project asserts it was a contract migration, indicating that the SEC fails to understand the difference between a primary sale and contract migration.
Fight for Clarity and Fairness in Web3
Despite having a small team and no large treasury, CyberKongz is committed to fighting for the future of blockchain gaming and the wider Web3. They strive for clearer rules so that other projects do not face similar difficulties. The CyberKongz team is now speaking out and offering support to other projects facing similar SEC challenges.
CyberKongz continues its struggle, hoping for clearer rules and fairness in the Web3 and NFT spaces, paving the way for other projects facing similar challenges.
