TON

Telegram 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?

X Empire, an Elon Musk-themed tap-to-earn game, is releasing the airdrop and token launch at the end of this month.

X Empire prepares to end its "Chill Phase" ahead of the 24 October X token launch on The Open Network, following a series of delays.

Notcoin and DOGS will burn $4 million worth of NOT and DOGS tokens on 9 October following a community vote on unclaimed airdrop tokens. The burn aims to reduce supply and potentially boost token value, highlighting the communities' role in project decisions.

Crypto scammers are leaving the TON blockchain due to a lack of high-value targets, as fewer wealthy investors remain on the network. With TON's growing popularity and security measures, scammers are shifting their focus to other platforms, like Bitcoin, for better opportunities.

Institutional interest in meme coins is rising, with TON launching Memelandia, a new platform aimed at fostering meme coin growth by leveraging Telegram's large user base.

Telegram's top crypto games, Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) and Catizen (CATI), have seen their tokens drop over 50% from peak values, echoing declines in other gaming tokens like Notcoin (NOT) and Toncoin (TON). The question now is whether they can recover or face a continued decline and possible collapse.

Ahead of the 26 September HMSTR token launch, Hamster Kombat announced plans for NFTs, new games, and less reliance on Telegram. By 2025, it aims to launch an NFT marketplace, host a clan championship, and start the second phase of its airdrop.

Bitget’s recent report highlights the growing challenges and opportunities for the TON ecosystem. The exchange predicts that TON may gradually distance itself from Telegram to manage regulatory risks and that Toncoin could outperform Bitcoin in a bullish market. Despite regulatory concerns, TON continues to attract institutional interest and record significant growth, setting the stage for further expansion in the blockchain space.

Bitget and Foresight Ventures invest $30M in TON blockchain to fuel growth in Telegram-based tap-to-earn games.
