The large-scale adoption of Web3 has always been the focus of the market. For example, Solana chain wants to go viral through the social meme of the Blinks module, and Ton chain wants to go viral through Telegram mini-games. Currently, the market value of Ton public chain has entered the top 10, the number of Telegram users exceeds 900 million, and the ecological project is thriving. Many TON ecological projects intend to adopt the marketing method of airdrops, providing community participants with many opportunities to make money.
Tonsquare is the EVM L2 chain of the Ton public chain, similar to Neon (market value of $600 million) for Solana and Aurora (market value of $200 million) for Near. The token TOS plans to airdrop 75% to node KEY holders, and the project party estimates that the market value of TOS is more than $50 million.
KEY is an NFT that represents a public chain operation node. After the node is activated, the token TOS can be produced, with a yield of about 350%. KEY's future income also includes cross-chain bridge fees and the Gas share of the new public chain. The generated TOS can also be pledged. The pledge will last for 6 months from the end of June 24, with a yield of about 300%.
The node KEY auction model is similar to the Gala node, which will continue to increase in price. The current price is in the second phase (a total of 15 phases), which is still in the early stage. If you hold more than 3 KEYs, you can also receive Tonsquare NFTs on the test network. You need to receive Gas on the EVM test network in advance before operating. The risk point is that KEY can only be bought but not sold.
Hamster Kombat is a Tap-to-Earn game made by a Russian team. Players can get coins by clicking on the hamster (CEO role of the simulated exchange) on the mobile phone screen. Players are also encouraged to unlock more rewards through community interaction, and to increase passive income from mining by purchasing upgraded cards. Similar telegram click games include Notcoin (Russian team, 40 million users), Tapswap (Ukrainian team, 60 million users), Yescoin (Chinese team, 20 million users), HypeSaints, etc.
Hamster Kombat is very popular in third world countries, and there are also a large number of gold-making studios in China, with 200 million users. Considering that the market value of Notcoin, the first leading game in the Ton ecosystem, is $1.5 billion, and the market value of Hamster Kombat is unlikely to exceed $500 million, the amount of airdrops per account is expected to be small.
Pixelverse is a cyber-style battle game, where users cultivate pet robots, click to fight (PVP and PVE modes), and adventure in different maps in the game center. Similar telegram battle games include Majyo Treasure (airdrop ratio 85%), etc. The founder is the former head of Binance Middle East coin listing. The token PIXFI plans to airdrop 25%. Interestingly, PIXFI is an ERC20 token instead of being issued on the TON chain. In the future, it will be an EVM game public chain Pixelchain based on Cosmos. Pixelverse currently has 30 million users (more than 5 million daily active users), which may be a big deal.
Pepe Wick is a placement shooting game made by a Chinese team, similar to Plants vs. Zombies. The game requires continuous spending of tokens to upgrade the characters. Each character has a limited time limit and can only be played for half an hour a day. There are also occasional collective BOSS battles, and there is a TON bonus pool for winning. However, the token PEW plans to airdrop only 6%, which is probably not a big deal.
Mow is a pixel-style shooting game. Shoot monsters to get coins to upgrade weapons. The main gameplay is to pass levels and PVP battles. It is highly playable. The project is still in the test version, and the specific airdrop plan has not yet been disclosed.
Catizen is a placement cat-raising game made by a Chinese team. The gameplay is similar to Candy Crush. Users who run cat cafes can cultivate pets of various levels, collect their output, and then continue to cultivate more advanced pets. At the same time, you can pay to purchase game props to accelerate pet hatching. In the future, we plan to develop Launchpool, and will cooperate with more than 10 WeChat mini-games to launch the chain on the Catizen game platform. Staking the token CATI can obtain the qualification for new listings.
Catizen currently has 23 million users (more than 1.5 million daily active users), and 50% of users have become paying users. It has generated $12 million in revenue just three months after its launch (many gold-making studios have recharged). Although the Ton official foundation has invested, the data is a bit too good to be true? The planned airdrop ratio of the token CATI is as high as 42%, and it has the attributes of a new listing platform coin. The announcement of the airdrop in July.
Chick Coop is a farm game made by a Chinese team. It sells eggs every day to upgrade the chicken farm. It currently has 1.5 million users (300,000 daily active users). The token CHICK plans to airdrop 34%, and there will also be NFT and pledge mechanisms.
Travel Frog is a pet-raising game made by a Chinese team. The frog travels and collects items. It was modified from the 17-year-old game Travel Frog Chain. The existing 20,000 users are still in the testing phase. The token FROG plans to airdrop 70% (Travel to Earn), but it will be carried out in four phases.
The Ton ecosystem that may have airdrops in the future also includes the exchange Blum, football Fanton, lottery Balaton.bet, turntable WGScoin, fishing Wowfish, etc., which are not listed here one by one, and can be found on the TGStat website growth rankings.
In summary, many small game developers in the Ton ecosystem come from the familiar Web2 world. Most of them are Chinese teams, and their main purpose may be to reverse the Ton users. Therefore, before investing in large-scale hair, it is recommended to do a careful research homework, sharpening the knife before cutting wood.
With TOMA’s launch just a week away, Telegram game Tomarket has pivoted from The Open Network (TON) to Aptos, a rival layer-1 blockchain. This unexpected move raises the question: is TON losing its edge?
CatherineTelegram game Tomarket has set new requirements for its 31 October TOMA token airdrop on TON. Players must reach Bronze status and include a tomato emoji in their username to qualify. The key question: will TOMA fade after the hype, or achieve lasting success?
CatherineDespite its popularity and 300 million users, Hamster Kombat's airdrop is delayed with no set date, despite promises of the “largest airdrop” in crypto history. Will Telegram clicker games lose its appeal and crash post-airdrop?
KikyoHamster Kombat's token airdrop on The Open Network is set to engage millions of players. The airdrop will prioritise profit-per-hour metrics, encouraging strategic gameplay over mere coin accumulation.
