Telegram game and engagement platform Major will launch its token and begin airdropping MAJOR to players Thursday while Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving, and now on-chain claims are open for eligible players.
Players who met the criteria to be eligible for the MAJOR token, which will launch on The Open Network (TON), can now connect a TON wallet ahead of the token generation event at 12pm UTC on Thursday.
Major previously let players select a centralized exchange to claim to, including OKX and Bitget, as well as selecting to have the airdrop go directly to the Wallet app on Telegram. Today’s option opens up the field to additional self-custody TON wallets. MAJOR will have a total supply of 100 million tokens.
