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.
‘We're Promising Nothing’: Telegram Game Notcoin Has 25 Million Players and a Soon-to-be-Real Token
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 Review: Should You Play the Telegram Game Ahead of the Airdrop?
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Notcoin. To be honest, I was pretty dismissive at first. You tap an image of a coin on your mobile device, earn an in-game currency for each tap, and are bound by an energy bar that depletes as you tap (and refills when idle). And in the end, you'll be entitled to an airdrop of an upcoming token based on your tapping abilities. It sounded pretty dull. So imagine my surprise that three weeks after trying the game for the first time, I’m still opening it up every mornin...
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.”
