Team17 has announced an NFT collection for Worms. She received the name MetaWorms. However, the idea did not last even a day.

What is known

A series of items in the format of non-fungible tokens was supposed to be released in a limited edition. As planned by Team17, it was supposed to include unique computer art. The company planned to transfer part of the proceeds to Coin 4 Planet to support eco-initiatives and to Refeed Farms to create compost beds for processing food waste.

The announcement of an "environmentally friendly" NFT collection was negatively received by users. In addition, some studios did not like the idea. In particular, Aggro Crab and completely stopped cooperation with Team17.

In connection with such a reaction, the company announced on the official Twitter page that the NFT collection for "Worms" was cancelled.
