The founder and CEO of Stackr Labs, Kautuk Kundan, announced on social platform X that Atari's latest crypto arcade game Asteroids is not built on blockchain, despite the game itself claiming to be a “chain-based game”. Kundan and his team verified this by manipulating the game leaderboard through API calls to Web2 servers without actually playing the game. This discovery contrasts with previous announcements suggesting that Asteroids was a crypto arcade game based on the Base chain.
