Xiaomi could be testing CryptoBunnies
Leaked files suggest the company is working on a blockchain pet game
Games like CryptoKitties rely on one key feature of blockchain: Scarcity. There are a limited number of pets -- each with a different appearance -- giving them a certain value. And none of the pets can be replicated or destroyed, which means ownership is secure.

CryptoKitties are traded in ether, while Baidu has stressed that the points you earn in its game can only be used to trade virtual dogs, and nothing else.
The Chinese government has been clamping down on digital currency trading. Xiaomi’s leaked document shows its CryptoBunnies might be traded in digital points called “rice grains” -- apparently a reference to Xiaomi’s Chinese name, which means “little rice”.
