Crypto Gaming Recovery Fund Welcomes Crypto Shots (
The Crypto Gaming Recovery Fund, an initiative launched by Splinterlands and the SPSDAO to support players of failed Web3 games, today announced the addition of a new Founding Member: Web3 FPS innovator Crypto Shots. The partnership expands the fund's resources and reinforces its mission to restore trust within the GameFi ecosystem.
The Crypto Gaming Recovery Fund was established to provide a safety net for players who have been financially and emotionally impacted by the collapse of blockchain-based games. Crypto Shots' commitment adds additional resources to the fund's initial $500,000 treasury and brings another long-standing, trusted developer to the cause. The collaboration offers displaced players an on-ramp into two of the space's most established ecosystems: the strategic world of Splinterlands and the action-packed arenas of Crypto Shots.
Gabriele Sacchi, Founder of Crypto Shots added, "We’re proud to join the Crypto Gaming Recovery Fund and support its mission to rebuild trust in Web3 gaming. After four years of development focused on gamer experience and sustainable game economics, we believe games should be fun, fair, and rewarding — letting players share in sponsor prizes or transaction fees. Partnering with Splinterlands and its DAO is a natural step toward creating a more trusted and resilient GameFi ecosystem."
The fund's core objectives remain focused on providing tangible relief and new opportunities through a structured and transparent program.
Core Objectives:
- Provide long-term relief to players from failed Web3 games
- Offer fair, verified redemption through Claim Tokens
- Deliver both financial value and renewed gameplay opportunities
With the addition of Crypto Shots, the fund is now seeded by a broader coalition, including donations from Splinterlands, Crypto Shots, dCrops, the SPS DAO, and voluntary contributions from their respective communities.
