đą From Meme Game to 10M Holders â The Rise of Notcoin
NOT began as a Telegram tap game â and became one of Web3âs biggest breakout stories. Launched in Jan 2024 by Open Builders (ex-Tonstarter), Notcoin let users mine tokens just by tapping a golden coin inside Telegram. No wallets. No installs. Just pure dopamine.
đ What Made It Viral?
35M+ total users
6.5M daily actives at peak
100% organic growth â no ads, no airdrops
The secret? Notcoin rode on Telegramâs native UX and TONâs infra. Tapping to earn was addictive. Leaderboards fueled social loops. And onboarding felt like a chat, not a DApp.
đŻ NOT Launch: From Game to Token
In May 2024, NOT launched via TONâs Open League. Within days:
10M+ on-chain holders
Top token by activity on STON.fi
Became one of TONâs biggest user funnels
It was the clearest signal yet: Web3 doesnât need to be complex to scale.
đ Personal Take
As someone who's tested dozens of onboarding flows, Notcoin felt different. No gas, no browser switching â just instant gameplay. It brought Web2 simplicity to Web3 rails. And that combo is lethal in a good way.
Itâs proof that virality still matters â but only when paired with seamless infra like TON.
đ¨ď¸ Whatâs Next?
NOT has just begun. With tokenomics, quests, staking, and ecosystem expansion ahead, the âmeme gameâ may evolve into TONâs adoption engine.
