It started with… a coin. @The Notcoin Official a shiny Bitcoin or some complicated blockchain token—just a little animated coin inside your Telegram chat, staring back at you like it was daring you to tap it.$NOT
And when you did, magic happened. A number ticked up. You’d just “mined” your first Notcoin. No wallet setup, no crypto jargon, no downloads—just tap, tap, tap.
That was the genius of Notcoin, built by a group called Open Builders. They knew most people aren’t going to spend an afternoon figuring out blockchain onboarding. But everyone? Everyone loves pressing a shiny button and watching their score climb.
The “accidental” game that wasn’t so accidental
What looked like a goofy clicker game was actually a Trojan horse for Web3 adoption. The token you were racking up—called NOT—wasn’t just for bragging rights. It was real (well, crypto real). And because it lived inside Telegram, it spread like wildfire.
Friends sent it to friends. Group chats turned into tapping battlegrounds. Within months, tens of millions were playing.
Seasons, leaderboards, and… obsession
The creators didn’t stop at mindless tapping. They rolled out seasons, leaderboards, and mini-games under something called “Not Games.” Suddenly, it wasn’t just who tapped the most—it was who completed challenges, won leagues, and collected rare items.
The game was evolving. But so was the economy.

Free tokens… and the catch
Because Notcoin gave away its token so freely, it felt like it rained coins. Anyone with a finger could earn them—no ID, no bank, no crypto background. That’s how it grew so fast.$NOT
But free comes with a twist: when the token started trading, early holders sold, the price swung like a rollercoaster, and questions popped up about whether the model could last.
The love and the backlash
Some called it the smartest crypto onboarding in years. Others said it was a gimmick that would fade once people got bored of tapping.
Critics worried:
Was this really a game, or just a growth hack?
Who benefited more—players, or Telegram from all that sweet user data?
Could a token with such loose distribution keep its value?
The next chapter
The team’s answer has been to level up: more games, more depth, real utility for the token, wallet integration, and rewards for holding—not just tapping.
The goal? Keep people in the world they built, long after the coin-tapping craze cools off.
