Viral Telegram Game Notcoin Gears Up for Token Launch
In April, the popular Telegram-based game Notcoin paused its gameplay to prepare for the launch of its anticipated token. However, the launch date was repeatedly postponed, causing uncertainty among players. Now, it seems that the NOT token is finally set to be released, with an official listing date of May 16 announced by the project.
The NOT token, to be minted on The Open Network (TON), has garnered support from prominent cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, OKX, and Bybit. These exchanges are preparing to facilitate the rollout of the token, with OKX even launching a special “Jumpstart” campaign to incentivize users to stake their Toncoin (TON) in exchange for a share of Notcoin tokens.
OKX’s campaign, scheduled to commence on May 13 ahead of the token listing, will offer 1.28 billion NOT tokens to its users, equivalent to 1.25% of the total NOT token supply. Binance has also introduced its staking rewards program, providing over 3 billion NOT tokens in total (about 3% of the total supply) to customers who stake BNB or FDUSD stablecoin. In contrast, Bybit has not yet announced any reward initiatives.
Despite the impending token launch, details regarding the claim process for Notcoin players who earned NOT through the game remain unclear. Co-creator Sasha Plotvinov has shared that players will have the option to transfer their NOT tokens to a centralized exchange or withdraw them to a self-custody wallet.
Notcoin’s Journey to Success
Notcoin gained widespread popularity earlier this year, attracting millions of players who engaged in the game by tapping on a token image to earn in-game rewards. With approximately 35 million players participating in the mining phase, Notcoin garnered significant attention within the crypto community due to its innovative gameplay mechanics and the promise of a lucrative airdrop.
Following the closure of the mining phase on April 1, Notcoin initially announced a token launch date of April 20, coinciding with the Bitcoin halving event. However, subsequent delays pushed the launch timeline further, as the team sought to ensure a seamless and successful launch of the NOT token. Despite missed deadlines, Notcoin is now on track to release the token by the upcoming week.
Looking ahead, Notcoin plans to expand its offerings beyond the initial game concept, introducing new social games and experiences for users. Additionally, the project aims to integrate NOT token rewards into these new ventures, with a vision of transforming the platform into a diverse hub for social, viral games. Co-creator Sasha Plotvinov envisions Notcoin evolving into the “Netflix of social games,” promising users a rich and engaging gaming ecosystem.
