Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are becoming a popular topic on Telegram as more people learn about Web3. According to Web3 data provider Helika, the use of #NFTs on Telegram increased by 400% in the third quarter of 2024.
Helika's "Q3 '24 Telegram Games Report" highlighted this growing trend, showing that the number of unique wallets transferring NFTs on the platform jumped from less than 200,000 in July to over one million by September. What's particularly exciting is how active these users are—it's not just about creating wallets but actively buying, sending, and using NFTs, especially within Telegram-based games. In September alone, Helika recorded three million active wallets across nine different games.
And it’s not just the #NFT action that’s on the rise—Telegram gamers are spending more time playing, too. The average session length nearly tripled from 2.8 minutes in August to 6.7 minutes by early October, driven by increasingly immersive gaming experiences.
One standout game on #Telegram is Hamster Kombat. This viral hit has drawn in over 300 million users, and it's making moves to integrate NFTs into its ecosystem. The game recently shared a roadmap for 2024-2025, where NFTs will play a big role in Season 2, launching in November. The developers are also teasing an exciting new storyline, where players will step into the role of CEOs, running their own companies.
