NOT is undoubtedly the recent focus of the cryptocurrency market. After being listed on Binance and experiencing a continuous decline for over ten days, NOT has entered a "frenzied surge" mode, with a maximum increase of over 400% in just one week. Two days ago, NOT's 24-hour global trading volume reached 4.646 billion US dollars, ranking fourth in the global trading volume, only after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT.
The outbreak of NOT is inseparable from the market's expectations for the TON ecosystem. Following NOT, other projects in the TON ecosystem have also received a lot of overflow attention. Last month, the TON Foundation announced a list of 14 funded projects from March to April on its official blog, covering projects in social, gaming, DeFi, and other fields. However, after NOT surged several times, some projects in this list have not been updated.
What are the active projects in the TON ecosystem? BlockBeats will introduce 9 projects worth paying attention to and interacting with in this article.
Gaming Category
Catizen
Catizen is a product under Pluto Studio. Catizen ranks first in the TON ecosystem's official application store, Telegram Apps Center (TApps Center), due to its unique game mode and extensive user participation. Additionally, Catizen has launched the Launchpool mode, allowing players to earn in-game points $wCATI by staking game assets.
Pluto is a studio focused on the release of Web 3.0 mini-games and has been laying out in the Telegram x TON blockchain ecosystem for over a year. As an early development team and co-builder in the ecosystem, the Pluto team has received multiple supports from the TON Foundation in terms of economy and resources. Catizen is a new small game center platform created by Pluto Studio based on the experience of the TON ecosystem GameFi project Tap Fantasy previously incubated. The project team has optimized the relevant processes based on the experience of developing Tap Fantasy, giving Catizen a more complete economic model and a high-quality community user experience.
It is worth noting that on May 18th, Catizen announced support for Notcoin (NOT) as a payment method in the game, allowing users to choose between TON or NOT for payments. Catizen will also launch a new social gameplay called "SPIN" on June 5th, where users can earn fish coins and xZEN with the help of friends or new players. xZEN is the social score in Catizen, similar to the wCATI points, both of which are reference factors for the airdrop of Catizen's governance token $CATI.
At the time of writing, Catizen's Twitter account has 1.25 million followers, and its Telegram channel has over 2.8 million subscribers.
Hamster Kombat
Hamster Kombat is a click-based game based on Telegram, where players earn tokens by clicking and also functions as a cryptocurrency trading simulator. In the game, players take on the role of a chief executive officer of a cryptocurrency exchange, earning tokens by clicking and then using these tokens to purchase upgrades for their exchange to expand their empire. Since its launch in March, the game has accumulated over 60 million users. Hamster Kombat's popularity is on par with Catizen and has become another hit crypto game after Notcoin.
Hamster Kombat has announced that it will airdrop tokens on the TON blockchain to reward players who accumulate in-game tokens. It is worth noting that Hamster Kombat places great emphasis on community operations. Its YouTube channel, established for less than two weeks, has already released over 20 videos, each with over 250,000 views, featuring hamster characters reporting important news and market dynamics in the blockchain industry.
At the time of writing, Hamster Kombat's Twitter account has 5 million followers, and its Telegram channel has over 25 million subscribers.
TON Punks
TON Punks is an NFT collection project based on the TON blockchain, consisting of 5149 unique NFTs. The project aims to create a Play2Earn ecosystem based on Telegram bots and the TON blockchain. TON Punks' ecosystem consists of three main pillars: Punk Token, DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), and Chatbots.
Punk Token is an interchangeable token on the TON blockchain, designed to be the best solution for P2E (Play2Earn) and community projects. It will allow staking with TON PUNKS NFTs. DAO is intended to manage funds using $PUNK tokens. The entry ticket to DAO is the TON PUNK NFT. Chatbots are a Play2Earn mechanism based on Telegram bots, aimed at promoting $PUNK tokens.
The project's roadmap includes several stages, such as NFT minting, game release, token economic vision and token launch, staking launch, establishment of DAO and treasury, and the first game funded and released through DAO voting. Team members include Krokodealer (full-time engineer), George Lozovsky (a crypto enthusiast since 2014, claimed to have over 5 years of experience launching projects in the Telegram ecosystem), Kusok Pesok (artist), and Paket (bot enthusiast).
At the time of writing, TON Punks' Twitter account has over 210,000 followers.
Tapswap
Tapswap is a Tap2Earn style mining game similar to Notcoin, where players can earn in-game coins by tapping the screen in the game bot. The popularity of NOT has also brought a lot of attention to Tapswap. A week ago, the official announcement stated that the total number of players had exceeded 28 million, but today, according to the game interface, the total number of Tapswap players has reached 40 million, with a daily user count of 17.9 million.
Recently, Tapswap announced that the scheduled liquidity pool release date would be postponed to July 1st. This decision was made because the team discovered some bots exploiting system vulnerabilities to obtain abnormally high shares during the preparation process. To ensure fairness for all participants, the TapSwap team decided to postpone the launch to have enough time to address this issue.
At the time of writing, Tapswap's Twitter account has 4.8 million followers, and its Telegram channel has over 18 million subscribers.
Yescoin
After Notcoin's surge, other interactive games in the TON ecosystem have also received a lot of attention. Yescoin is a casual interactive game based on Telegram, with an "Swipe-To-Earn" interactive mode where players earn coin rewards by swiping the screen. Additionally, players can form teams to invite more friends to join the game and earn on-chain and off-chain incentives through YesPac, Yesbox, and other game elements.
It is worth noting that Yescoin won awards in the third season of the TON ecosystem's public league and has received multiple interactions from the TON and Telegram official teams. According to the Yescoin team, the total number of players exceeded 11 million and covered over 200 countries and regions within a month of the game's launch. After the wallet link activity was launched, over 200,000 users completed the link within an hour.
