NOT Series (32): How does Notcoin empower TON?
Notcoin started as a Telegram mini-game but has become a super booster for the TON ecosystem. TON already benefits from Telegram's huge user base, but it has always lacked a killer application to explode its traffic. The emergence of Notcoin perfectly fills this gap, bringing billions of users into the world of TON through the simple gameplay of Tap-to-Earn. Players earn coins by tapping the screen, and unknowingly become familiar with TON's wallet and transfers, lowering the entry barrier to blockchain. This not only increases TON's active addresses but also directly boosts the network's transaction volume and TVL.
More importantly, Notcoin helps TON build a community foundation. The game's strong social attributes encourage users to compete for scores in groups while discussing tokens and ecosystem projects. This transforms TON from a technical platform into a living community. Notcoin's airdrop and listing further convert game traffic into real assets, and as users earn money, they are naturally more willing to stay in TON to explore other DApps. For example, Notcoin's ecological fund supports the development of new projects on TON, indirectly empowering areas like DeFi and NFTs, making the entire chain richer.
From a technical perspective, Notcoin fully utilizes TON's high speed and low fees. In-game transactions seamlessly connect to the chain, without lag, leaving users with a good impression of TON. Compared to other chains, TON's processing capability is already strong, and Notcoin's large-scale user testing further optimizes network performance. The team has also launched new models, like the VOID strategy game, which runs directly on TON, attracting developers to imitate and giving rise to more innovative applications.
In the long run, Notcoin's greatest value in empowering TON is breaking the circle. It allows non-crypto users to engage with Web3, starting from entertainment and moving towards investment. This model is not limited to gaming but can expand into social, payment, and other fields. Notcoin's success story inspires more projects to settle in TON, pushing the ecosystem from the margins to the mainstream. In short, Notcoin is not an accessory to TON, but its engine, driving the entire network to accelerate forward.
