Fantasy Top, the crypto influencer fantasy sports game built on Ethereum and tied deeply to Crypto Twitter, is shutting down this week. The project announced the closure two years after its launch, ending a platform where users drafted and competed based on the social media performance of prominent crypto personalities.
The concept
Fantasy Top let players build lineups of crypto influencers — think of it as fantasy football but for Twitter engagement. The game used Ethereum, with in-game assets and interactions likely leveraging the blockchain. It carved out a niche within the crypto community, blending gamification with the attention economy of Crypto Twitter.
Two-year run ends
The shutdown comes two years after the platform first went live. The announcement was brief, with no specific timeline or further details on user asset handling. Fantasy Top attracted a dedicated following among those who enjoyed turning influencer engagement into a competitive game. Its reliance on Ethereum also tied it to the broader NFT and token trends of the 2024-2026 period.
The platform's closure closes a chapter on one of the more unusual intersections of crypto and social media.
