Since mid-August, Binance Launchpool has launched four new projects related to the Ton ecosystem. First, the native token of the Ton chain, Toncoin (TON), was launched, followed by the meme project Dogs (DOGS) within its ecosystem. On September 12 and 13, the new coin mining of the hamster Hamster Kombat (HMSTER) and the kitten Catizen (CATI) was launched in succession, supporting users to participate in the HAMSTER and CATI token airdrop rewards by staking BNB and FDUSD.
On September 20, Binance officially launched Catizen token CATI trading pairs.
As of September 20, Binance has launched 6 TON-related projects, including the point-to-earn game Notcoin, the Telegram robot Banana Gun, the native token TON, the meme project Dogs, the hamster Hamster Kombat (HMSTER), and the kitten Catizen (CATI).
Among them, Dogs, Catizen and Hamster Kombat are all star projects that have attracted much attention in the Ton ecosystem. Binance's multiple proactive attacks on its ecological projects seem to imply that the battle for user traffic in the Ton ecosystem has begun.
Not only is Binance keen on launching Ton ecological projects, it was also revealed a few days ago that it had personally taken charge of the small game project Moonbix, which was later officially confirmed to be true.
As a bellwether of the crypto industry, Binance's frequent actions on TON and its ecological projects have forced crypto community users to re-examine its ecological projects. Who will be the next project to be listed on Binance? Which projects have potential? These have become hot topics in the crypto community.
Who will be the next Ton ecological project to be listed on Binance?
According to the classification of projects launched by Binance in recent stages, ChainCatcher prefers meme and ton mini-game projects with a relatively large user base.
1. Moonbix, the "Gold Miner" mini-game developed by Binance
Moonbix is a mini-game project launched by Binance based on Telegram Mini DApp. The game page design and gameplay are more similar to the previously popular web game "Gold Miner".
In the Moonbix platform, players earn points by manipulating astronauts sitting in spaceships and using clamps (similar to claw machines) at appropriate angles to collect gold coins, yellow gift boxes, etc. The size of the gold blocks represents different amounts of points, but points will be deducted if the claws catch a black bomb.
However, Moonbix has not yet been officially released. On September 18, the Binance customer support team stated that Moonbix was accidentally leaked before the planned release date, but the product is still being fine-tuned and the official release date will be announced as soon as possible.
Currently, Moonbix users can earn points by playing games and completing tasks. Currently, ordinary users only have 5 opportunities to earn points by playing games every day; tasks include daily check-ins, following Moonbix social media, inviting friends, binding Binance accounts, etc., and then accumulating points for ranking.
According to previous mini-game projects, points can be used to redeem rewards such as in-game products or project token airdrops. Some community users also speculate that the Moonbix mini-program may have token airdrops sponsored by projects other than BNB.
As of September 20, the number of Moonbix Telegram community users has exceeded 7.4 million, and the number of subscribers to the announcement channel has exceeded 2.6 million.
2. Blum, a crypto trading app invested by Binance Labs
Blum is a Telegram-based trading application created by former Binance executive Gleb Kostarev and others. It has brought together crypto assets on more than 30 chains, supporting users to complete transactions of various crypto assets in one stop. It also combines gamification elements to make users' token trading experience more interesting.
In March of this year, Blum was selected for the seventh season of Binance Labs’ MVB accelerator program, and on September 11, Binance Labs said it had invested in him.
At present, the Blum trading function has not yet been launched and is in the stage of collecting points BP. Users can earn points by playing sliding and clicking mini-games and platform tasks. Users only need to enter the Telegram robot program through the link, log in every day, complete daily tasks, and play games and other mini-games integrated on the platform to easily obtain points. It is reported that these points can be used to exchange for project tokens.
Currently, the tasks on the Blum platform are mainly divided into three categories: OnChain tasks, Socials tasks, and Academy tasks. Each type of task has its own unique requirements and reward mechanism. Users only need to follow the steps to visit the relevant page to easily start the task and get BP points rewards.
OnChain task users need to connect their wallet and perform claim operations to obtain task points;
Socials tasks require users to follow designated social accounts and join communities;
The Academy task is to watch videos to get rewards.
According to official disclosures, Blum’s user base has just exceeded 60 million, of which Blum robot subscribers are close to 49 million.
3. HaskKey's next game DejenDog
DejenDog (called "Big Golden Dog" by the community) is a Tap2Earn point-earning game on Telegram developed by the trading platform HashKey, where players can click to earn game coins.
The HashKey platform will distribute 10 million HSK platform tokens to users participating in the Big Golden Dog game, so DejenDog is considered to be the official airdrop channel for HSK tokens.
Currently, players can earn native game tokens HIT on the DejenDog platform by playing games and completing tasks (such as invitations, sign-ins, etc.). HIT can be used in the game for upgrades, purchasing blind boxes, etc. HIT can also be converted into HSK.
As of September 20, the number of subscribers to the DejenDog community channel exceeded 3 million.
4. Sliding Game Yescoin
Yescoin is a sliding game based on Telegram. Players can collect gold coins by sliding their fingers across the screen, and can also get more rewards by completing tasks such as invitations. The gameplay mechanism is very similar to Notcoin.
Players can earn extra coins by opening treasure chests, purchasing items such as YesPac robots, and completing various tasks. The YesPac robot can automatically collect coins offline, and players can use the collected coins to make purchases. The YesPac level can be divided into 1-5 levels. The higher the level, the stronger the pet's ability to collect coins. For example, level 5 supports players to be offline for 12 hours and obtain an additional 60% offline reward.
In June this year, Yescoin and Catizen were selected as winners of the fourth season of TON Foundation’s The Open League, and together with the team members, they won a prize of US$500,000.
As of September 20, the number of users of the Yescoin Telegram channel has exceeded 15.7 million.
5. Gatto, a pet training game
Gatto is a pet training game based on Telegram. The gameplay is similar to the previous play-and-earn game Axie. Users can earn native tokens GTON and TON by playing games such as pvp and pve competitions.
If players want to participate in the Gatto game, they need to own a pet (Gattomons) NFT first. Currently, players can buy it on the NFT market GetGems, with a floor price of 0.5TON.
In March this year, Gatto was selected for the TON Foundation Accelerator Program. In June, DWF Labs announced that it had established a strategic partnership with Gatto to help the game enter the Asian market.
As of September 20, the Gatto Telegram channel has 700,000 subscribers.
6. Fanton Fantasy
Fanton is a fantasy football game based on Telegram. The gameplay is similar to the NFT fantasy football game Sorare. Players need to first own sports star NFT collectible cards as game characters, and then form teams to participate in competitions to earn rewards. Currently, the platform supports users to use TON or Telegram Star virtual currencies to pay for purchases.
On August 22, Fanton Fantasy Football announced the completion of a US$1 million seed round of financing, with participating investors including Animoca Brands, Delphi Ventures and Kenetic Capital.
In the latest interview, the founder of Fanton Fantasy said that the game token FTON will be launched soon and will become the main in-game reward token.
7. Decentralized AI data project Vana mini game Vana Data Hero
Vana aims to build a decentralized data network to solve the problem of insufficient data for AI model training through blockchain technology, while providing a way for Internet users to earn income. It plans to collect data accumulated from social media platforms such as Reddit, LinkedIn or X through a network of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and rent or sell these data sets to AI researchers.
On September 18, Vana announced the completion of a US$5 million strategic financing round led by Coinbase Ventures. It had previously received investments from well-known institutions such as Paradigm and Polygon, and its cumulative financing amount has reached US$25 million.
In July this year, Vana launched a small game called Vana Data Hero (Data Miner) on Telegram. Players can use an axe to click on the ball on the screen to get points represented by VANA. Community users speculate that the project may reward airdrops based on the number of points in the future.
In addition, users can earn more points by signing in, completing social tasks, inviting friends, etc.
As of September 20, the number of Vana Data Hero users has reached nearly 230,000.
