Amid the hype around crypto games, Telegram's popularity continues to grow. Pavel Durov reported that the number of active users of the messenger has already exceeded 950 million per month.
“This is compared to 900 million in the spring. On the way to one billion!” he wrote.
This dynamic is explained by clicker games that offer to earn cryptocurrency by tapping on the screen. It all started with the Notcoin project, which attracted users with an airdrop.
In mid-May, the coin finally appeared on centralized exchanges, and in June the user base of the application exceeded 40 million people.
The highest demand for Notcoin was observed in the Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, Nigeria, USA, Germany and Iran. However, users from the latter were not given the opportunity to withdraw funds.
Tapalka" was supported by Durov, announcing the release of its HMSTR token on the TON blockchain. The Bybit exchange opened a premarket for the coin, and the developers promised to hold a second airdrop.
In June, Hamster Kombat's user base reached 100 million users. According to Durov, 4-5 million new players join the project every day, making it “the fastest growing digital service in the world.”
