The Flappy Bird Foundation is reviving the original Flappy Bird game (which first launched in May 2013 and achieved over 50 million downloads in seven months) with modern Web3 features and social gameplay. Its core product is a reimagined Flappy Bird that adds a token system called FLAP-A-TON so players can mine points through gameplay and daily logins. An early version is already available on Telegram, and the foundation plans optional advertisements, new modes and characters, and a 99-player real-time multiplayer mode across 50 obstacles. The team includes Kek, the developer credited with inspiring the original game, and is described as a blend of passionate fans and industry veterans. The foundation emphasizes community features—teams, prizes and social competition—and is targeting Telegram’s large user base as a distribution and engagement channel. Financially, the group has secured outside funding to support the revival.

Centrifuge builds a middleware stack for tokenization, covering token issuance, asset management and onchain composability while abstracting institutional-grade technical complexity. Its deRWA framework on Base aims to wrap institutional assets into tokens that can interact with DeFi where legally permitted. A flagship example is deSPXA, a tokenized exposure to an Anemoy S&P 500 fund created with S&P Dow Jones Indices and managed by Janus Henderson. Centrifuge has worked with clients such as Apollo, Janus Henderson and S&P Dow Jones Indices to tokenize complex assets. The company is positioned to help managers, originators, fintechs and DeFi protocols launch vaults without building infrastructure from scratch. As part of the Coinbase strategic investment and Preferred Tokenization Infrastructure designation, Centrifuge seeks to scale distribution and liquidity for tokenized assets while maintaining compliance constraints (noting offerings like deSPXA are limited to non-U.S. eligible investors under Regulation S).
