Genopets
Summary
Genopets is a Solana-based move-to-earn NFT game launched in 2021, self-described as the first free-to-play move-to-earn title in the space, operated by a named and publicly identifiable founding team. The project raised $8.3 million in seed funding from reputable investors including Pantera Capital and Samsung Next, but its dual-token economy (GENE and KI) has suffered severe inflation-driven value collapse characteristic of the broader move-to-earn category. As of mid-2026 the team remains active, having pivoted toward AI-agent infrastructure under the 'ELITE/WHITTAKR' umbrella, though both tokens trade near all-time lows with minimal liquidity.
