As a Click-to-Earn project in the TON ecosystem, Notcoin has accumulated nearly 35.2 million users on Telegram, becoming the fourth-largest channel on Telegram.
In addition to Notcoin, other MEME projects that have performed well on the TON chain include Gramcoin (GRAM), Catizen, TON FISH (Fish), etc.
Increasing the value of high-traffic MEME coins will be one of the important ways for the public chain ecosystem to break out of the circle. In the future, TON will also unlock more ways to break out of the circle with its massive users and technological innovations.
As major exchanges have successively launched the popular MEME game Notcoin (NOT), a new round of hype about the TON public chain ecosystem has begun. This article will explore the ecological development and investment opportunities of TON in conjunction with the viral craze of Notcoin.
Click without thinking, you can't stop clicking Notcoin
As a Click-to-Earn project in the TON ecosystem, Notcoin has quickly gained great popularity among cryptocurrency enthusiasts since its official launch on January 1, 2024.
The game is embedded directly through the Telegram chat platform, and players can earn coins by simply tapping the Notcoin avatar symbol on the screen.
Its simple and direct gameplay, coupled with the wide distribution of free gifts, quickly made Notcoin popular. According to public data, as of the date of writing, the Notcoin community has accumulated nearly 35.2 million users on Telegram, of which 5 million are active users every day, making it the fourth largest channel on Telegram.
The success of this game lies not only in its simple operation method, but also in its ingenious strategic design - while players click to earn coins, they need to consume energy, and the energy will be restored over time, thus avoiding endless internal circulation.
In addition, players can add more fun through various activities, such as joining specific Telegram groups or channels, inviting friends using referral links, and helping friends upgrade in the game to earn NOT tokens, converting NOT tokens into NFT vouchers for over-the-counter transactions, etc.
However, just when the game was gaining popularity, the Notcoin team announced on April 1, 2024 that it would stop mining tokens, a decision that attracted widespread attention.
With the recent launch of NOT tokens on various exchanges, the popularity of Notcoin has risen again.
In fact, in the days leading up to the upcoming release of NOT on the TON blockchain, the total value locked (TVL) of the entire network experienced a significant upward trend.
In general, Notcoin stands out in the TON ecosystem with its ease of use, innovative and interesting features, and official support from TON. With its further innovation and optimization and the improvement of its social economic mechanism, Notcoin has undoubtedly become a viral MEME that helps the TON ecosystem break the circle.
Fun MEME games help TON ecosystem go viral
If we carefully examine this year's crypto market, we can easily find that many public chain ecosystems have begun to change their thinking, relying on the hit MEME to open up a path to break out of the circle for their ecological prosperity. The TON ecosystem is one of the best.
In addition to the current hotshot Notcoin, other coins that have also performed well include Gramcoin (GRAM), Catizen, TON FISH (Fish), etc.
Gramcoin (GRAM)
Gramcoin (GRAM) is the first POW MEME coin on the TON chain. It uses a smart contract called Givers to distribute computing tasks, allowing users to mine through video cards. This strategy does not require expensive ASIC hardware. It is similar to the Bitcoin protocol but more inclusive, allowing ordinary video card holders to participate and promote fair distribution of tokens.
Since its launch in January this year, GRAM’s valuation has soared 28,000 times, and its user base has rapidly expanded to more than 30,000. Market rumors that GRAM may be listed on major exchanges have aroused expectations and enthusiasm in the community.
It is worth mentioning that GRAM also has in-depth cooperation with NOT. The creators of NOT hold GRAM tokens and have held a series of competitions, using GRAM tokens as prizes to reward winners. This cooperation not only demonstrates the strong sense of community between the supporters of the two projects, but also reflects their common goals and vision.
Catizen
Catizen is a cat-themed game based on the TON ecosystem. It innovatively combines the metaverse, GameFi, and AI technologies, and introduces a unique play-to-airdrop mode, allowing players to enjoy the fun of the game while also receiving future airdrop rewards.
As a leading project in the Gamefi Bot field in the TON ecosystem, the Catizen team has signed contracts with 18 popular WeChat mini-games and is ready to gradually launch new content on the game platform based on its rich experience in chain reform and TON ecosystem deployment.
As of the date of writing, Catizen has attracted nearly 6 million gamers, including 585k daily active users and 6.4 million on-chain users, while completing 7.6 million on-chain transactions.
Catizen’s future development will not be limited to its existing Gaming Bot positioning, but will move towards the third phase of the Game Launchpool, providing more value to all loyal players and governance token holders.
TON FISH（FISH）
TON FISH (FISH) is the first MEME on the TON blockchain, designed with its lighthearted and entertaining spirit of community participation.
The currency not only encourages user participation through exchanges and community activities, but also adds tangible value to the ecosystem by introducing two unique NFT collections - TON ROCK COLLECTION and TON FISH BOX COLLECTION. These NFTs not only represent unique and collectible assets, but also provide early contributors with the opportunity to participate in the platform upgrade system.
With increased traffic and diverse ecosystem, TON is on a roll
TON is developing a plan to support MEME and enrich the ecological landscape, and the feature of fee-free transactions in the 2024 development roadmap is undoubtedly a key means to unlock huge traffic.
According to statistics from the TON official website, the entire ecosystem currently contains 602 application projects, covering multiple fields such as DEX, Staking, Lending, wallets, browsers, bridge services, NFT collections, etc. These projects not only enrich the diversity of the TON ecosystem, but also provide broad space for the circulation and application of TON tokens.
In addition, the TON Foundation actively promotes the ecological development of MEME and other fields. In the past 6 months, the number of TON ecological projects has increased by about 10%.
The on-chain data also further verifies TON's growth trend. The TVL (total locked value) on the TON chain reached a record high of about 30 million TONs, worth about $200 million, after the TON price surged. At the same time, TON's weekly active users and monthly active users both hit record highs, showing users' strong interest and enthusiasm for participating in the TON ecosystem.
Obviously, this symbiotic relationship between TON and Telegram, as well as Telegram's large user base and rich mini-program ecosystem, has shown great development potential. With the gradual adoption of the TON ecosystem by the Telegram user base and the launch of more new features in the future, TON is expected to attract more users and developers to join its ecosystem.
In fact, there has never been a shortage of narrative exploration in the crypto space, and the TON ecosystem, relying on Telegram's huge user base, has attracted a large number of non-cryptocurrency users. Notcoin has used a simple and crude gameplay to obtain a large amount of user traffic from the TON chain, allowing the TON project to see a convenient path to break the circle.
It is foreseeable that in the short term, the value enhancement of high-traffic MEME coins will be one of the important ways for the public chain ecosystem to break the circle. In the future, TON will also rely on massive users and technological innovations to unlock more ways to break the circle and bring more opportunities and value to participants.
