How can Notcoin support tens of millions of users with ultra-high frequency interactions in a short period of time, without being stifled by high Gas fees and network congestion? The answer lies in its clever hybrid architecture of 'off-chain gaming, on-chain settlement', which provides valuable experience for all Web3 applications seeking mass adoption.
Phase One: Off-chain games driven by centralized databases.
During the 'mining' phase, every click and every point change by users is actually recorded in a centralized server database. This brings several benefits: first, zero Gas fees, allowing users to interact without any on-chain costs; second, extreme performance, as centralized servers can easily handle millions of requests per second, ensuring a smooth user experience. This is a necessary prerequisite for achieving viral growth and low-barrier participation.
Phase Two: Token Generation Event (TGE) as an on-chain bridge.
Once the gaming phase is over, Notcoin conducts a one-time token generation event. At this stage, it uses the final points recorded in the off-chain database to generate and airdrop the corresponding $NOT tokens to users' wallets on the TON blockchain. This step completes the critical transition from 'game points' to 'on-chain assets', solidifying the off-chain consensus and activity results onto a decentralized ledger.
This hybrid model of 'first accumulating users and consensus off-chain at low cost and high performance, then completing value settlement through a one-time on-chain operation at a critical moment' perfectly balances user experience, scalability, and the ultimate principle of decentralization. It proves that Web3 applications do not have to adhere to the dogma of 'everything must be on-chain'; pragmatically combining off-chain technologies is the broad avenue to mass adoption.
