The popularity of the TON ecosystem is, again, on the rise. The number of on-chain activated wallets is approaching 10 million, triggered by the recent surge of "tap-to-earn" games. Titles like Hamster Kombat and Notcon, which give users a fun and accessible entry to the blockchain space and real-world rewards, have indeed clicked with the audience.
The niche's growth is staggering: in a week between July 2nd and July 9th, 2024, Hamster Kombat's user base grew from 239 million to 250 million, showing a 4.6% increase.
Still, Tomarket, a decentralized marketplace for new assets built on TON, holds the growth record. Launched on July 4th, the marketplace has passed the 1 million user mark in under five days, showing the ecosystem's high potential for attracting more new users.
Key Factors Of TON's Growth
Several factors fuel the TON surge. First, “tap-to-earn" games require no prior crypto knowledge. Thanks to their straightforward gameplay, they resonate with the user, attracting a broader audience to the TON ecosystem — unlike traditional crypto ventures shrouded in techy jargon.
Then, real-world rewards, won through in-game activities and airdrops, increase user engagement further — to a tangible benefit for everyone in the TON space. And lastly, seamless integration with Telegram, a ubiquitous messaging app with millions of users, allows for frictionless onboarding.
Tomarket: New TON Assets And Web3 Onboarding
Tomarket, a decentralized marketplace for new assets such as RWA, crypto bond yields, points, and pre-circulation tokens, is the fastest-growing TON dApp to date. It has built an early community through the Telegram Mini App game and has been focusing on easing the onboarding of Web2 users to the Web3 space. Backed by Bitget Wallet and Foresight X, Tomarket has recently partnered with Bitget Exchange.
For the past few years, Bitget has been supporting the growth of the TON space with its strategic partnerships, the $20 million TON Ecosystem Fund, and the adoption of Telegram Signal Bots and zero gas fees. On July 12th, the exchange announced the listing of Boom Up (BOOM) tokens, the trending TON-based Telegram game, on its Spot market.
"Tomarket is the first Bitget On-chain Layer project to receive acceleration under the BWB $10M ecosystem fund, and its growth only reminds us why supporting upcoming TON ecosystem projects is extremely important. The projects built on TON are for the masses, easy to use, and quick to grasp. Telegram and the TON ecosystem are expected to bring hundreds of millions of new users to our industry. Crypto is now closer to mass adoption than ever," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.
Through their partnership, Tomarket and Bitget get more comprehensive access to new projects and investment opportunities, promoting TON's crypto interaction with dApps and one-tap applications.
