GameFi projects and airdrops are heating up as we move into the Summer, none more so than Notcoin (NOT). Telegram-based Tap-to-Earn game Notcoin (NOT) is built on top of The Open Network (TON) and launched just over two weeks ago.
It is now a multibillion-dollar project and ranked within the top 50 tokens on Coingecko. This comes after a weekend that saw NOT surge more than 70% following the launch of “earnings missions” last week, which enables players of the game to passively earn crypto rewards.
For its airdrop, Notcoin had over 10 million users constantly tapping a digital gold coin on Telegram in order to earn NOT rewards ahead of its token launch.
When NOT launched on The Open Network, it immediately became the largest crypto gaming token launch of 2024. It has been transacting over $1 billion in daily volume for the past week.
There are now many other projects attempting to replicate the success Notcoin has achieved in this niche Tap-To-Earn space.

Another Telegram-based game built on TON is Hamster Kombat. It was announced last Friday that they will launch their own token following an airdrop campaign. Currently, no date has been set for the token launch.
While built around the same kind of tap-to-earn premise, Hamster Kombat utilizes Tap-To-Earn mechanics but is more ambitious.
Players are put in charge of a crypto exchange, letting you grow your empire by investing in upgrades, marketing, and more over time. It is rumored that the tokens earned for your exchange in-game will eventually be converted into a token airdrop for Hamster Kombat.
