PiP World launches Gold Rush tap-to-earn game on Telegram
PiP World, a Web3 gaming and edtech ecosystem, has launched a tapping game called Gold Rush on Telegram.
The “tap-to-earn” Web3 game is aimed at capitalizing on the viral nature of mini-games on Telegram, the crytpo-friendly messenger platform with more than 950 million users. Simple games such as Hamster Kombat have taking off in the past few months, getting hundreds of millions of players.

PiP World has been building its PiP Trader game in Unity for the past 2.5 years using WebGL tech, meaning it can display decent graphics without requiring the user to do a download. In that sense, the company hopes to level up its PiP Trader to a “triple-A” quality level. The Gold Rush game is a companion game aimed at tapping the virality on Telegram, and the company says its gameplay is far better than existing games on the market. In August, PiP World acquired StockRise, a popular stock trading game on Roblox.
