Notcoin sets new record and Hamster Kombat launches token on TON
The Telegram-integrated clicker game Notcoin (NOT) hit a market cap of $1 billion last week, as per CoinGecko's data. This milestone was reached after a 50% surge, triggered by the introduction of "earnings missions" that offer players the chance to accrue crypto rewards passively.
The massively popular clicker game had millions engrossed in tapping a virtual gold coin to gather crypto prior to its token debut. Upon launching on The Open Network, NOT marked the most significant crypto gaming token debut of 2024, swiftly climbing into the top 100 global coins.
In a move resembling Notcoin's strategy, Hamster Kombat, another Telegram-integrated game, disclosed plans last Friday to introduce its own token on The Open Network. The rollout schedule and details regarding an anticipated airdrop to gamers remain unspecified.
With a similar tap-to-earn model, Hamster Kombat puts players at the helm of a crypto exchange, where they can expand their domain through strategic investments in enhancements, marketing efforts, and more. The fruits of these endeavors are expected to culminate in a token airdrop eventually.
Meanwhile, the Aptos layer-1 blockchain network saw an explosion of daily transactions—surpassing 115 million in a single day—courtesy of a "tickle-to-earn" feline game.
Tapos, a game that rewards users with HEART tokens for tickling a virtual cat, has brought the click-to-earn concept popularized by Notcoin into the realm of cute cats. With 63,000 participants, it logged over 323 million transactions throughout a three-day activity spree.
