Gaming on TON Blockchain Sees Huge Rise Thanks to Telegram Rewards
Gaming on the blockchain The Open Newtown
has seen a huge surge, driven largely by the growing popularity of clicker games that reward Telegram users with tokens.
Inal Kardan, head of gaming at the TON Foundation, said that by December last year, only about 1% of the #Telegram monthly active users were participating in games on the app.
In a recent interview, Kardan revealed that he previously recommended that at least 10% to 12% of Telegram users participate in games, which is in line with levels seen on other social media platforms, such as WeChat, where active numbers reach 30%.
Currently, about 20% of Telegram users play at least one game per month.
Telegram, which has nearly a billion users worldwide, is increasingly turning into a mini-gaming hub by leveraging Ton #blockchain , reflecting its strong connection to the creators of the messaging app.
