NOT is undoubtedly the focus of the recent crypto market. After being listed on Binance and falling for more than ten days, NOT started the "violent pull-up" mode. In just one week, NOT's highest increase exceeded 400%. The day before yesterday, NOT's 24-hour network trading volume reached 4.646 billion US dollars, ranking fourth in the network trading volume after Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT.

NOT's outbreak is inseparable from the crypto market's expectations for the TON ecosystem. After NOT, other projects in the TON ecosystem have also received a lot of overflow attention. Last month, the TON Foundation announced on its official blog a list of 14 funded projects approved from March to April, involving projects in social, gaming, DeFi and other fields, but after NOT rose several times, some of the projects on this list were no longer updated.

What are the projects still active in the TON ecosystem? BlockBeats will introduce 9 projects worth paying attention to and interacting with in this article.

Games

Catizen

Catizen is a product of Pluto Studio. Catizen ranks first in Telegram Apps Center (TApps Center), the official app store of TON ecosystem, with its unique game mode and wide user participation. In addition, Catizen has also opened the Launchpool mode, allowing players to obtain in-game points $wCATI by staking game assets.

Pluto is a studio focusing on the release of Web 3.0 mini games. It started to lay out in the Telegram x TON blockchain ecosystem as early as a year ago. As an early development team and co-builder in the ecosystem, the Pluto team has received multiple financial and resource support from the TON Foundation. Catizen is a new mini-game center platform created by Pluto Studio based on the experience of Tap Fantasy, a TON ecosystem GameFi project previously incubated. The project team drew on the experience of developing Tap Fantasy and optimized the relevant processes, giving Catizen a more complete economic model and high-quality community user experience.

It is worth noting that Catizen announced on May 18 that it supports the Notcoin (NOT) payment method in the game, and users can choose TON or NOT when paying. Catizen will also launch a new social gameplay - SPIN on June 5, where users can get fish coins and xZEN with the help of friends or new players. xZEN is the social score in Catizen, similar to wCATI points, and is a reference factor affecting the airdrop of Catizen's governance token $CATI.

As of writing, Catizen has 1.25 million followers on Twitter and over 2.8 million subscribers to its tg channel.

Hamster Kombat

Hamster Kombat is a Telegram-based clicker game that earns tokens by clicking, and doubles as a crypto trading simulator. In the game, players take on the role of a CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange, earning tokens by clicking, and then using those tokens to buy upgrades to the exchange to expand their exchange empire. The game has amassed over 60 million users since its launch in March. Hamster Kombat is on par with Catizen in terms of popularity, and is the next popular crypto game after Notcoin.

Hamster Kombat has announced that it will airdrop tokens on the TON blockchain to reward players who accumulate in-game tokens. It is worth noting that Hamster Kombat pays great attention to community operations. Its youtube channel has been established for less than two weeks and has released more than 20 videos, each of which has been played more than 250,000 times. The content is all about hamster images broadcasting important blockchain news, market trends, etc.

As of writing, Hamster Kombat's Twitter account has 5 million followers and the tg channel has more than 25 million followers.

TON Punks

TON Punks is an NFT collection project based on the TON blockchain, consisting of 5,149 unique NFTs. The project aims to create a Play2Earn ecosystem based on Telegram bots and the TON blockchain. The ecosystem of TON Punks consists of three main pillars: Punk Token, DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) and Chatbots.

Punk Token is a fungible token on the TON blockchain that aims to be the best solution for P2E (Play2Earn) and community projects. It will allow staking along with TON PUNKS NFTs. The DAO aims to manage funds using $PUNK tokens. The ticket to enter the DAO is the TON PUNK NFT. Chatbots are a Play2Earn mechanism based on Telegram bots that aims to promote $PUNK tokens.

The project's roadmap includes several phases, such as the minting of NFTs, game releases, token economy vision and token launch, staking launch, the establishment of DAO and treasury, and the first game funded and released through DAO voting. Team members include Krokodealer (full-time engineer), George Lozovsky (crypto enthusiast since 2014, with 5+ years of experience in launching projects in the Telegram ecosystem), Kusok Pesok (artist), and Paket (robot enthusiast).

As of writing, TON Punks' Twitter account has more than 210,000 followers.

Tapswap

Tapswap is a Tap2Earn-style mining game similar to Notcoin. Enter the game bot and click on the screen to get game coins. The popularity of NOT has also brought a lot of heat to Tapswap. A week ago, the official announced that its total number of players exceeded 28 million, but today, according to the game interface, the total number of Tapswap players has reached 40 million, and the number of daily users is 17.9 million.

Recently, Tapswap announced that the original release time of the liquidity pool will be postponed to July 1. This decision was made because the team found that some robots took advantage of system loopholes to obtain abnormally high shares during the preparation process. In order to ensure fairness for all participants, the TapSwap team decided to postpone the launch so that there is enough time to solve this problem.

As of writing, Tapswap's Twitter account has 4.8 million followers, and the tg channel has more than 18 million followers.

Yescoin

After Notcoin became popular, other click-to-interactive games in the TON ecosystem also received a lot of attention. Yescoin is a casual interactive game based on Telegram. Its interactive mode is "Swipe-To-Earn". Players can get gold coins by sliding the screen. In addition, players can also form a team to invite more friends to participate in the game, and obtain on-chain and off-chain incentives through YesPac, Yesbox and other game elements.

It is worth noting that the Yescoin project won the TON Ecosystem Season 3 Open League and received multiple interactions from TON and Telegram officials. According to the Yescoin team, the total number of players exceeded 11 million one month after the game was launched, covering more than 200 countries and regions. After its wallet linking activity was launched, more than 200,000 users completed the link within an hour.

As of writing, Yescoin's Twitter account has 2.2 million followers and the tg channel has more than 4.58 million followers.
