A team calling themselves Flappy Bird fans has announced plans to relaunch the classic game as a crypto project, but this move has been met with fierce opposition from X (formerly Twitter) users, according to a report by Protos.

The new version will transform Flappy Bird into a Solana-based Web3 game, claiming to be the “world’s first open-source, community-owned Web 2 and Web 3 game.” The project also mentioned a FLAP token, planned to be released on the Telegram blockchain, offering staking options and free airdrops.

However, it remains unclear if 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 securing the rights to Flappy Bird.
