At 11 PM, after finishing overtime, 95s programmer Xiao Zhou slumps on the sofa in his rented apartment, scrolling through his phone. Looking at screenshots of cryptocurrency earnings shared by friends in his social circle, he feels both envious and helpless—he wants to try investing but has little capital; he wants to participate in Web3 projects but gets confused by complicated wallet operations and on-chain terminology. As his fingers unconsciously swipe across the screen, he suddenly thinks: if only there were a Web3 play that wouldn't cost money, wouldn't be brain-intensive, and could even let him 'shear sheep' while scrolling through his phone.
This 'fantasy' didn't last long; by chance, Xiao Zhou came across a friend's shared Notcoin interface on a social platform—a pixel-style black coin icon that could be 'collected' with just a click of the screen, simple enough to feel like playing a childhood single-player game. With the mindset of 'it won't cost anything, so why not give it a try', he followed the tutorial to bind his Telegram account, completed the registration in just a few minutes, and didn't even need to download a separate app; he could play directly in the built-in web page of Telegram.
At first, Xiao Zhou only regarded Notcoin as a 'stress-relief toy' after overtime: tapping a few times while waiting for the subway, playing for a few minutes before lunch break, watching the number of 'coins' on the screen slowly increase, making his monotonous life seem a bit more hopeful. But as he played, he realized that this was far more than just a simple game— the 'virtual coins' he collected could be exchanged for the project token NOT, and by completing daily tasks (like inviting friends and binding wallets), he could unlock 'click acceleration' items to double the efficiency of his earnings. What surprised him even more was that Notcoin supports direct binding to mainstream cryptocurrency wallets, and the exchanged NOT tokens can be withdrawn to his wallet at any time, with no complicated on-chain interactions, making it easy even for a Web3 novice like him.
What makes Xiao Zhou feel most 'down-to-earth' is Notcoin's 'zero-threshold' concept. The Web3 projects he had encountered before either required buying ETH for gas fees or going through complicated KYC verification, whereas Notcoin has no such barriers: no need to invest a single cent, no need to understand complex smart contracts, and just by 'clicking the screen'—an action almost everyone can do—one can participate in the Web3 ecosystem. He also invited his colleague Xiao Zhang, who is similarly interested in Web3, to join in. The two often compete in the group on 'daily click counts', and their previously unfamiliar colleague relationship has become warmer.
As he participated longer, Xiao Zhou gradually figured out Notcoin's ecological logic: it attracts a large number of ordinary users like him through 'gamified' low-threshold gameplay, and the vast user base lays the foundation for the project's subsequent ecological expansion (such as integrating DeFi features and launching NFT blind boxes). Now, he can not only earn by clicking to exchange for NOT tokens, but also learn about the latest Web3 information in the project community, and even follow experienced users to learn simple token investment tips.
For Xiao Zhou, Notcoin brings not just a bit of extra income, but more like a 'lightweight key' to open the Web3 world— it breaks the stereotype that 'Web3 has high thresholds and is only suitable for professional players', allowing ordinary people to experience the fun and value of the blockchain world in the easiest way. In this fast-paced era, Notcoin uses 'little joys at your fingertips' to truly bring Web3 into the lives of more people.
