Telegram has achieved a remarkable milestone, reaching a user base of 950 million by integrating engaging Web3 games into its platform. The introduction of mini-games that offer token rewards has significantly increased user interaction, allowing the messaging app to gain traction in the gaming sector as it moves into 2024. Approximately 20% of Telegram’s users are now actively participating in these gaming activities, signaling a substantial transformation in user engagement.
How Did ‘Notcoin’ Elevate Gaming on Telegram?
The launch of the ‘Notcoin’ game at the start of 2024 marked a pivotal moment for the gaming segment on the TON Blockchain. This game achieved remarkable success, largely due to a massive token AirDrop.

Nevertheless, the TON Blockchain has experienced significant growth, with accounts increasing from 4 million to 128 million in just one year. Additionally, Toncoin’s market cap soared to $14 billion, reflecting a surge of over 100% in value.
