Interactive tap-to-earn game project within The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, Notcoin announced its partnership with the Web3 gaming analytics platform Helika to launch the Telegram Gaming Accelerator program.
This initiative aims to build on the recent momentum in the development of mini-applications powered by blockchain technology. The program is designed to support and accelerate game developers who are at the forefront of creating games for the Telegram messaging application.
Based on the success of Helika Accelerate, Notcoin, and Helika will jointly assist game studios, mobile applications, and indie developers in creating gaming experiences on the Telegram platform and TON blockchain. This new initiative will be supported by $50 million in funding, and the applications for the first cohort will open next week.
Helika is a data analytics, marketing, and game management platform designed to equip game studios with the insights necessary for making strategic, data-driven decisions. Its tools offer comprehensive insights into in-game activity, community engagement, financial metrics, and competitive data across more than ten blockchains.
Helika launched its first accelerator in collaboration with venture capital firms such as Sfermion, Pantera Capital, and The Spartan Group in April. This initiative provided both traditional and Web3 gaming studios with education and mentorship on game and economy design, game balancing, user acquisition, and live operations, achieving notable success.
