CTG is gearing up for its Season 3, the first two having lit up the crypto market. The game’s survivor-like elimination created a buzz on social media – particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Interest in the game saw NFT passes for its Season 2 sell out within minutes.

For the two seasons, contestants entered the challenge by buying in with 0.1 ETH. The tribes participated in challenges, with subsequent voting over ten-day seasons seeing one individual emerge the winner.

Uniswap will use the deal to help build an even more exciting experience for the CTG community, according to an announcement.

The UNI token price surged on Monday following the news, trading at around $10.33 and up by more than 5%.
