Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges, recently launched a mini-game on Telegram called Moonbix. The game offers a tap-to-earn model, where players can earn money with skill and timeliness. Here are some interesting things you need to know about the Moonbix game, as reported by BeInCrypto.
1. Moonbix Game Launch and Binance Focus on Blockchain Games
On September 19, Binance introduced Moonbix, marking its next step in the play-to-earn (P2E) gaming space. The game is available on Telegram’s mini-app and features players as space explorers who collect special items and complete missions to earn points. Binance is also capitalizing on the growing trend of mini-apps on Telegram, along with the growing interest in crypto-themed casual games.
2. Players Surge Up to 18 Million in One Week
In just a week after its launch, Moonbix has managed to attract nearly 18 million players. This number shows the high interest of gamers in the combination of entertainment and earning opportunities. With the number of users continuing to increase, Moonbix is on the same track to compete with other popular tap-to-earn games such as Notcoin and Hamster Kombat.
3. Vietnamese Players Dominate the Leaderboard
Vietnamese players dominate the Moonbix leaderboard and top the “Hall of Fame” list. Getting a high score in the game is not easy, as players must complete missions that only give 11,500 points. Many players rely on referrals—earning an extra 10,000 points by inviting 10 new users. To become the best, players must invite between 100 and 300 people, which leads some to turn to cheating tools to increase their points.
4. The widespread use of cheating tools
It is not surprising that many players use tools to speed up the game in Moonbix, because of its challenging gameplay. Some players use bots to automate the game through multiple accounts at once. However, this action risks being sanctioned, as happened in the Hamster Kombat game which banned 2.3 million players for cheating. In addition, some players buy mass Telegram accounts to increase points or references illegally.
5. Huge Interest from Ethiopia on Google Trends
According to data from Google Trends, Ethiopia is the country with the highest number of Moonbix-related searches in the world, beating other countries such as Afghanistan, Myanmar, Maldives, and Pakistan. The game's popularity is driven by the combination of space exploration themes and crypto rewards, which attract players from all over the world. Integration with Telegram, a widely used messaging platform, also contributed to the increased interest in the game.
Conclusion: Moonbix and Binance User Base Growth
One of the important requirements to play Moonbix is to complete the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification. This helps Binance increase the number of registered users on their platform. With great potential to attract new players, Moonbix is one of Binance's ways to strengthen its position in the P2E and T2E sectors. However, Binance must remain vigilant about potential ecosystem issues, especially related to Telegram's policies that could affect the game in the future.
