Notcoin allocated more than 90% of the airdropped tokens to “miners”. This is seen as an approach that rewards players who earn NOT tokens by playing the game. The remaining 7.9 billion NOT tokens can now be claimed with non-fungible token (NFT) coupons. In this way, players can also benefit from the advantages of digital ownership and potential value increase offered by NFTs.

The airdrop took place ahead of Notcoin’s listing on leading centralized exchanges such as Binance, OKX and Bybit. The press release states that once the tokens are listed, on-chain withdrawals will also be available. This allows players to transfer the NOT tokens they earn to other platforms at any time.

The Notcoin team attributes the success of the game to creating a community of 35 million people without spending on traditional marketing methods. The team attributes the game’s rapid growth to “curiosity and FOMO combined with Telegram’s viral communication power.” “FOMO” (Fear Of Missing Out) means “Fear Of Missing Out” and refers to investors acting with the concern of missing out on a popular investment opportunity. This may have caused Notcoin to spread rapidly among players.

The press release highlights Notcoin’s impact with the following sentences: “Notcoin is more than just the fastest-growing, most popular game in blockchain history, it has become a cultural phenomenon that has created one of the largest and most active communities on Web3.” This statement suggests that Notcoin is more than just the game itself, and that cryptocurrencies form a significant community in the Web3 space, which is seen as the future of the internet.

Commenting on the game’s launch, Sasha Plotvinov, founder of Open Builders, a community of blockchain developers focused on The Open Network, said the ecosystem prioritizes “transparency and a fair distribution process that offers a realistic vision of what true mass adoption of cryptocurrency will look like.” . This statement reveals the thinking behind Notcoin’s airdrop and its goal to increase adoption of The Open Network blockchain.

Launched in late 2023, Notcoin is a click-to-win game based on The Open Network blockchain. The simple structure of the game makes it accessible even to those new to the cryptocurrency market. Users can “mine” NOT tokens by tapping their screen while running the Notcoin mini app in Telegram on mobile devices. The game is thought to have a simpler structure at the beginning.

However, after the game gained momentum, the Notcoin team converted in-game balances at a ratio of 1000:1. In this way, players were able to earn more reasonable amounts of NOT tokens. The conversion rate may be aimed at increasing the long-term sustainability of the game.

Although Notcoin is not a groundbreaking innovation in the field of Telegram games, it has managed to make a splash in the cryptocurrency market with its simple gameplay, community-oriented approach and generous airdrop. The future of the game depends on its listing on centralized exchanges and how it retains its player base in the long term. But one thing is certain: Notcoin has revealed the potential of Telegram games.
