Former peer-to-peer file-sharing platform turned non-fungible token (NFT) market LimeWire has released a new game aimed at reviving the nostalgia of pirating music with the added bonus of crypto rewards.
On April 13, the historic music download platform, very popular in the early 2000s, was revived and changed to Web3 in the form of a retro music download game inspired by the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
Players need to enter their email addresses to play the browser-based game that asks them to find old music and movies from the early 2000s to download.
The simulation will provide a list of songs or movies from that era for players to choose to "download" within a time limit. Each simulated download that does not contain a simulated "virus" will award points to the player.
Scores are entered into a leaderboard featuring the top players eligible for crypto rewards from your next LimeWire release. CKD-20 LMWR tab.
According to LimeWire, the top 1,000 players will receive 150,000 LMWR tokens distributed among them based on rankings. The company's "merch packs" have also been featured as prizes.

LimeWire's public token sale launches on May 2 with 97.5 million LMWR up for grabs for between $0.20 and $0.30.
The private sale of 200 million tokens raised $10.4 million in mid-2022 with investors including Arrington Capital, Kraken Ventures, Crypto.com Capital, and CMCC Global, among others.
There was an additional 2.5 million token community sale, which means that only a third of the total initial supply is available to retail traders. The total supply of LMWR tokens is one billion and they will be unlocked over a period of four years, according to the whitepaper.
