The popular Telegram game Tomarket is preparing to launch a new cryptocurrency called TOMA on The Open Network (TON) in time for Halloween. The initial value of the coin when it goes live has not yet been determined, but the game’s development team seems to be betting on some players’ interest in buying their airdrop shares in advance.
On Monday, ToMarket announced the launch of a “Premium” medallion, which gives users several benefits, most notably doubling their TOMA stakes in the upcoming free airdrop, in addition to a “100% increase upon listing,” providing them with an additional increase in the number of coins they can earn.
This move suggests that medal holders will be able to get a larger share, while players who don’t buy them may get a limited portion of the coins at first. This strategy is similar to what Hamster Kombat used, which delayed the distribution of a portion of the coins earned to players in stages over several months, without giving them the option to pay to unlock the full allocation.
The number of TOMA users has exceeded 40 million, and the game announced some additional details regarding the new currency distribution, which has sparked the interest of many players who are waiting for the launch of TOMA.
