Eight Upcoming Token Airdrops in the TON Ecosystem

Last night, Binance announced the 58th project on Launchpool—Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), a P2E game built on the Telegram mini-app platform that simulates being the CEO of a crypto exchange.

From Notcoin (NOT) and Toncoin (TON), to DOGS and now HMSTR, Binance has been continuously advancing within the TON ecosystem, reigniting market interest. So, what are some other potential investment opportunities in the TON ecosystem?

Yescoin: October 1

Yescoin is a game based on Telegram and runs on the TON blockchain. Since its launch in May 2024, it has attracted over 11 million users. The game offers a “Swipe-to-Earn” mechanism. The airdrop tasks and game interactions are as follows:

• Connect Wallet: Connect your TON wallet (such as Tonkeeper) to your Yescoin account. This step is crucial for receiving and managing Yescoins.
• Swipe to Collect Yescoins: The game’s main mechanic involves swiping the screen to collect Yescoins. There is an energy bar at the bottom of the screen, and swiping consumes energy. Once depleted, the rate of coin collection slows. Players can use various boosts to restore energy faster and improve game efficiency.
• Invite Friends for Rewards: By sharing an invitation link with friends, both you and your friends will earn additional Yescoins. If your friends have Telegram Premium, the rewards are even greater.

Major: October 1

Major is a star-rating game designed for Telegram, launched on July 3, 2024. Players climb the ranks by earning stars to become a “major figure” within the community. Stars are central to competition, and the number of stars a player accumulates determines their ranking and rewards on the leaderboard. The game interactions are as follows:

• Earning Stars: Players can earn stars by completing daily tasks, inviting friends, or completing their profiles. Each regular user invitation earns 15 stars, while inviting premium users earns 50 stars. Players can also influence others’ ratings by gifting stars or voting.
• Leaderboard: Player rankings in Major are based on the number of stars earned. The top 100 players in the weekly leaderboard can win TON token rewards, with 150 TON for the first place, 100 for the second, and decreasing amounts thereafter.
• Multiple Game Modes: Major incorporates different game types currently popular in the TON ecosystem, such as clicker, spin-the-wheel, and match-three games, allowing players to earn stars while playing.
• Special Features: The game offers daily login rewards and a lottery function, with players getting one free draw each day. Inviting 10 friends grants an extra draw.

TON Station: October 6

TON Station is a game aggregator aimed at collecting mini-games within the TON + Telegram ecosystem. Currently, it offers a simple 8-hour mining clicker game, with the aggregator’s full features yet to launch. The current gameplay involves:

• Click Farming: Users can start mining by clicking, with each session lasting 8 hours.
• Increase Mining Efficiency: Players can improve their mining power by inviting new users.
• Daily Check-in: Checking in daily also slightly increases mining efficiency.

MemeFi: October 9

MemeFi is a “click-to-earn” game on Telegram. Players click the screen to defeat opponents and earn rewards and tokens. Unlike other click-to-earn games, the goal in MemeFi is to eliminate enemies rather than just collect coins. Each click reduces the enemy’s health, and players earn tokens for these actions. Key features include:

• Starting the Game: Players access the game through MemeFi’s Telegram bot. The first enemy players face is Pependalf, a frog dressed as a wizard, representing a popular meme. Players must click multiple times to defeat the enemy before moving on to the next challenge.
• Reward System: Players can earn tokens by defeating enemies and completing tasks like following MemeFi’s TikTok or YouTube accounts. Inviting friends to join the game also provides additional rewards, with each invitation earning 2,500 tokens.
• Game Enhancements: Players can purchase boosts to improve click efficiency. For example, a daily bonus can increase click damage by 10x, or an auto-click robot can help accumulate rewards even when the player is inactive.

X Empire: October 15

X Empire (formerly Musk Empire) is a crypto game themed around Elon Musk and based on the Telegram platform. The project recently announced it will end its “mining phase” on September 30, marking the final month of the click-to-earn phase, where players can accumulate points before the token airdrop.

X Empire’s end to the mining phase means that after September 30, no in-game progress will count towards the airdrop. This is a crucial step in preparing for the token airdrop, expected at the end of September or early October. To ensure accuracy, the team has begun burning inactive accounts. Key gameplay features include:

• Click to Earn: Players can earn money by clicking on characters, with passive income generated hourly.
• Upgrade Characters: Increasing character skills and levels boosts income, and once players level up, they can enter PvP mode.
• Invite Friends for Gold: Players can earn gold by inviting friends and completing tasks.

TapSwap: Mid-October

TapSwap is the latest hit in click-to-earn games, launched on Telegram using the TON blockchain. Since its release, it has attracted over 50 million users, with 18 million active monthly users. TapSwap offers a “SWAP” feature with various token pairs available. The gameplay is simple:

• Earn Points by Clicking: Players earn points by clicking the coin in the center of the screen. Each click consumes energy, and once depleted, players must wait for the energy bar to refill.
• Complete Tasks: Players can earn additional points by completing special tasks such as joining TapSwap’s social media communities.
• Referral Rewards: Players can invite friends to join the game and earn extra points. The more active their friends are, the more points they will accumulate.
• Boosters: Players receive three free boosters daily, including the “Click Master” for higher point earnings and energy refills. Premium boosters can also be purchased using in-game coins.
• Tap Bot: A Tap Bot earns points passively when the player is offline. Players must check in every 12 hours to collect these points.

PocketFi: Q4

PocketFi is an all-in-one solution for cross-chain transfers, swaps, sniping, and copy trading, designed to simplify DeFi operations on Telegram and Mini Apps. Users can swap TON tokens for other tokens like ETH and engage in token sniping for profits. PocketFi was launched by George Lozovsky, the creator of the TON Punks NFT series. Key features include:

• Telegram Bot: Interact with the PocketFi_Bot.
• Token Mining: Claim tokens every 6 hours.
• Complete Tasks: Improve mining efficiency by completing tasks.
• Referral Program: Earn 10% of invited friends’ token rewards and 2% from their referrals.

Unclaimed tokens are burned every 6 hours, so timely claiming is essential. Inviting three or more friends qualifies you for the airdrop.

Blum: Q4

Blum is a decentralized exchange providing token trading services across both centralized and decentralized platforms while simplifying derivative trading. Blum operates on Telegram through a mobile app and mini-apps, offering futures trading and cross-network token purchases. Founded by former Binance executives Gleb Kostarev and Vladimir Smerkis, Blum was selected for Binance Labs’ MVB Accelerator Program. While its trading features are not yet live, the game’s mining mechanism has attracted many users. The main gameplay is as follows:

• Earning Rewards through Points: Users can earn points by subscribing to Blum’s official social media channels or inviting friends.
• Drop Game Mode: Players earn points by catching coins that drop on the screen.
• Farm Mode: Without depositing any tokens, users passively earn points, which increase over time.

These points will later be redeemable for tokens, and users are currently in the collection phase.
