Telegram's 'Notcoin' Giving Out $400K in TON, Plus Millions of In-Game Coins

Viral clicker game Notcoin just launched a new promo ahead of the airdrop, offering up 100,000 Toncoin and heaps of in-game coins.

Ahead of its impending token airdrop on The Open Network, viral Telegram clicker game Notcoin just revealed that it’s giving away a total of 100,000 Toncoin (TON) to players via a new quest—and millions of in-game coins for certain “O.G.” users.

It all stems from a new in-game quest called “TON for Fun.” Players who complete all the tasks in the quest will get a 3 million Notcoin bonus and 1 TON. A total of 100,000 TON are being given out to players who participate in the quest, collectively worth just over $400,000 as of this writing, and the quest will only be available until 100,000 people have completed it. 

To earn rewards, you’ll need to reach Diamond League in the coin-tapping game, invite at least five friends to the game, and connect a TON wallet. This will earn you 1 TON and conclude the first half of the quest.

The requirements are a fair bit higher for the second part of the quest. You’ll need a paid Telegram Premium account and to hold 25 TON in your connected wallet to unlock the bonus 3 million Notcoin in the game.

Notcoin popped onto crypto gamers’ radar at the start of the year, as millions of Telegram players flocked to the chat app’s curious coin-tapping distraction—and were apparently mining billions of Notcoin in the process. But there was a curious catch: the coins weren’t real, at least not in the on-chain cryptocurrency sort of way. Now there are more than 25 million “Notcoiners” furiously tapping that same gleaming coin, competing in squads, and absorbing messages that are somewhat nihilistic but...

Notcoin also recently announced an NFT-based voucher system for trading Notcoin ahead of its airdrop. Players with 10 million Notcoin or more can convert their coins into vouchers that can be traded with other players and eventually redeemed for actual Notcoin after the token drop.

More than 28 million Telegram users have played Notcoin to date, with over 4 million daily users according to data from the game. They’ve collectively mined over 42 trillion Notcoin by rapidly tapping a gleaming coin in the game, and the balances of active users will be converted into an on-chain crypto token.

Notcoin representatives previously told Decrypt’s GG that the token is estimated to go on-chain and be airdropped to players in late March or early April. Decrypt’s GG just reviewed Notcoin—click to read why this simple crypto game has us “in its clutches.”

ABOUT NOTCOIN:

NotCoin is a mobile game built within the messaging app Telegram, where players tap on images of coins to earn an in-game currency. The game operates within a framework where players are restricted by an energy bar that depletes with each tap but refills when idle. The unique aspect of NotCoin is that players are rewarded with an airdrop of an upcoming token based on their tapping abilities.

Despite initial skepticism about the simplicity of the game, players find themselves consistently engaged in tapping activities, motivated by the prospect of earning rewards in the form of tokens. NotCoin is integrated with the Telegram bot and corresponds with a token set to be launched on The Open Network (TON), a blockchain originally created by the Telegram app. Open Builders, the creator of NotCoin, has confirmed that the token will be transferred to TON blockchain, with an estimated launch in late March or early April.

In addition to tapping for rewards, NotCoin introduces a social aspect through a global leaderboard, where players compete with friends and strive to improve their rankings within different leagues based on their tapping achievements. The game also offers daily boosts to enhance earnings, creating a sense of urgency and motivation for players to return regularly.

NotCoin distinguishes itself from typical mobile games by offering a fair gameplay experience without pay-to-win elements. Players can choose to invest their in-game currency into paid boosts or save it to maximize their airdrop rewards in the future. Despite its simplistic gameplay, NotCoin's combination of incentives, social interaction, and potential for rewards keep players coming back for more, making it a captivating experience for those seeking entertainment and the opportunity to earn tokens.
