Summary

  • Irish firm Daiko is developing a virtual pet game powered by blockchain technology that aims to gamify the real-world process of caring for a pet dog.
  • Set to launch in 2026, the game will enable users to create a digital twin of their pet, mirroring its behaviour and appearance.
  • The company’s smart leash will convert walks into points that can be used to acquire in-game assets or real-world products.
  • The game aims to motivate owners to maintain healthy habits for their pets, with rewards for activities such as walking, feeding and grooming.
  • The title also aims to prevent overlooked activities such as missed walks and delayed vaccinations.
