Project Background: The Telegram Game Ignites a Craze
Notcoin (\u003ct-25/\u003e) originated from a Tap-to-Earn game on the Telegram platform. This mini-game rewards tokens by 'mining' through screen taps, rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. As of March 2024, the Notcoin game has attracted over 35 million players, peaking at 6 million daily active users, becoming one of the most popular crypto games at that time. The simple and fun gameplay, combined with Telegram's vast user base, has brought a large number of new users who had never encountered blockchain into the TON ecosystem. The Notcoin project development team, known as Open Builders, has successfully guided millions of Web2 users seamlessly into the Web3 world through this game.
Community-Driven Token Issuance
Notcoin's success is inseparable from its community-driven token distribution model. In the game, users earn token points by clicking and completing tasks, which can be exchanged for actual tokens at a ratio of 1000:1 when the token goes live. This 'play the game first, then receive tokens' model is essentially a large-scale airdrop: Notcoin's launch was fully diluted with a market value of up to $2.5 billion, making it one of the largest community airdrops in history. Through this innovative model, Notcoin has fully realized the decentralization of initial token distribution — a large number of early users became token holders, sharing in the project's growth dividends, laying a solid community foundation.
Milestone Data Overview
There are over 2.8 million on-chain wallet addresses (approximately 61% of the total supply is circulating on-chain). The extremely high number of wallet addresses means it has become the flagship token in the TON ecosystem with the widest reach to users and the most decentralized community ownership.
The Tap-to-Earn event distributed over $220 million worth of token rewards to the community, truly realizing the community's sharing of the project's growth dividends. The massive airdrop scale shows the official recognition and feedback to the community.
The decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume has accumulated over $1 billion, with high community trading activity and abundant liquidity. This reflects that Notcoin holders not only number in the millions but are also very active in trading, injecting tremendous liquidity into the TON ecosystem.
The first TON ecosystem token to list on top exchanges: On May 16, 2024, \u003cc-55/\u003e was simultaneously listed on mainstream exchanges such as Binance and OKX. Notcoin thus became the first TON blockchain token to be listed on these large platforms, marking the successful mainstream entry of Telegram's native crypto project.
Community Influence and Future Outlook
With the impressive data mentioned above, the Notcoin project has an unparalleled community influence within the TON ecosystem. A large user base of token holders and a highly decentralized token distribution (approximately 95% of the tokens are held by the community, with the official team retaining only a small percentage) ensure the project's decentralized attributes and community governance foundation. The official Notcoin Telegram channel has gathered over 14.5 million members, and the active global community continuously empowers the project.
More importantly, Notcoin's success validates the immense potential of the 'chat application + game + crypto' model — through social platforms like Telegram, highly interactive gamified experiences can bring tens of millions of users into the blockchain world with low barriers. This not only makes Notcoin the traffic leader and flagship token of the TON ecosystem but also provides a model for the entire industry to explore new paths for user growth. As the TON blockchain ecosystem continues to grow, Notcoin, with its broad user base, is expected to continue playing a key role in community building and application promotion. The project team (\u003cm-47/\u003e) is also continually expanding Notcoin's application scenarios, such as launching reward programs, digital collectibles (sticker shops), and the 'Not Games' game center, enriching community gameplay and strengthening user retention.
Looking to the future, Notcoin will continue to leverage its large community base to promote the TON ecosystem to a broader audience. In the era of 'community is power' in crypto, tokens like Notcoin, driven by the community and with a vast user base, are expected to maintain a unique advantage in fierce market competition. As a star project in the TON ecosystem, \u003ct-32/\u003e has proven its value through innovative gamified airdrop models and excellent community operations. In the future, with the support of the TON Foundation and the broader community.
It is expected to write more legends and explore broader pathways for the integration of Telegram and blockchain.
