Notcoin, a Telegram mini-app, reached 35m active users in a few months. Recently, Notcoin was minted on the TON blockchain and listed on major exchanges, allowing users to convert in-game currency into real money.

Notcoin quickly became a top-10 cryptocurrency by trading volume, with a market cap near $700m. This highlights the power of the Telegram and TON ecosystems for app developers.

Telegram’s Pavel Durov was gifted $6.8m worth of Notcoin from half a million Notcoin users and shared plans to hold until it reaches $680m to buy more servers for Telegram.
