Tap-to-earn games on the Telegram platform have seen explosive growth in 2024, with the launch of Notcoin and its hot token driving a new wave of game popularity. The most famous and successful to date is Hamster Kombat, a game that has you running a cryptocurrency exchange in the form of a cute hamster.

Gemz is basically the same thing – but with sloths running a cryptocurrency mining company. This is an "exact copy" of the original, from the gameplay to the public interface with Hamster Kombat, only the characters are different.

However, even though Gemz lacks originality, that may not matter much to Telegram users looking for another tap to earn game besides Hamster Kombat and other hot games like Yescoin, Catizen, TapSwap and PixelTap. Here's a look at Gemz, how to play it, and information about token listing possibilities and upcoming airdrops.

What is Gemz?

Gemz is a game on the Telegram platform that puts you in the role of running an upstart cryptocurrency mining company run by sloths that look a lot like the sloths in the movie “Zootopia.” But the bigger similarity here, as mentioned earlier, is with Hamster Kombat – the hit game on Telegram that has attracted more than 239 million players in the past few weeks.

It's a cut-and-paste job, but for Telegram players who want another simple tap to earn game to play before potentially launching tokens and receiving airdrop rewards, Gemz offers another variation of familiar formula.

The development team announced on June 28 that Gemz has attracted 8 million players to date, so it's still quite small compared to Hamster Kombat - but it's on the rise.

How to play Gemz

Gemz's home screen is anchored by a large circle with an image of a gem inside, and tapping it via your iOS or Android device will earn you coins. You can tap until your energy bar is depleted, at which point you'll need to wait for it to recharge or use one of three free daily refills.

Simply tapping the screen is not the best strategy to boost your lazy mining business. It is better to press the “Mine” button and invest your coins in categories like Equipment, Workers, Services and Special Cards to upgrade your operations. Each category will give you passive income, both when you open the Telegram mini app and when you are offline.

Tap the “Boosts” button, and you can also spend coins on items like the Tap Bot that continues to count taps for you when you're offline, or the Multi Tap feature that gives extra coins for each tap. You'll also earn coins by referring friends to the game, or doing things like following Gemz accounts on Twitter and YouTube.

Are there tokens or airdrops?

Why participate in a fictional sloth-based cryptocurrency mining operation? For profit potential, of course. While Gemz hasn't explicitly announced a token launch, it's being billed as a play-to-earn game and allows you to connect a wallet to The Open Network (TON) – the blockchain network that many Telegram games are using applied to their tokens.

If Gemz continues to emulate Hamster Kombat, we may see the game bring its own token to TON. But for now, all you can do is accumulate coins in the game in hopes of a payday in the future. Stay tuned as more new details emerge.
