The highly anticipated viral web3 clicker game, Notcoin, has taken a significant step forward by issuing its native cryptocurrency on the TON blockchain, a move that coincides with the airdrop of over 80 billion NOT tokens to participants. The announcement comes as Notcoin makes its debut on various crypto exchanges, marking a pivotal moment in its journey.

Originating as a Telegram Mini App in January, Notcoin quickly gained traction, attracting a robust community of over 35 million players. These mini-applications integrated within the Telegram messaging platform enable seamless interaction with various services without users having to leave the application.

In the game, players engaged in "mining" the in-game currency by simply tapping a Notcoin icon on their phone screens. Now, with the conversion of their accumulated in-game currency into NOT tokens, distributed at a 1000:1 ratio to all users with connected TON wallets, players are poised to become stakeholders in the burgeoning Notcoin ecosystem.

Before the recent token generation event, pre-market trading of Notcoin commenced through an NFT trading system in March. Nearly 800,000 NFT vouchers were minted by the end of the game's "mining" phase on April 1. These NFTs, boasting a floor price of approximately $26 and a total trading volume of around $26 million, emerged as the fourth-largest NFT collection on the TON blockchain, according to NFT marketplace Getgems.

Now, holders of these NFT vouchers can convert them into NOT tokens at a 1000:1 ratio, further fueling participation in the Notcoin ecosystem.

A staggering 72,265,851,714 tokens have been distributed to miners, with an additional 7,953,370,000 tokens available for redemption by NFT voucher holders. Eligible users can claim these tokens via the Notcoin app and withdraw NOT tokens on-chain. The total supply of NOT tokens stands at 102,719,221,714, with allocations for "miners" and NFT voucher holders constituting 78% of this total.

Notcoin's ambitious distribution strategy mirrors the ethos of Bitcoin's distribution model, with 100% of NOT tokens allocated to "miners." Leveraging its significant presence on Telegram, Notcoin has successfully cultivated a massive audience, boasting the largest crypto-related channel on the platform and the fourth-largest overall, with 6.3 million channel subscribers.

Looking ahead, Notcoin's roadmap includes plans to reward users for exploring the crypto ecosystem using NOT tokens, with the introduction of a trading bot set to facilitate the trading of other TON-based tokens. Additionally, the Open Builders initiative aims to fund and support projects on the TON blockchain, further enriching the Notcoin ecosystem and fostering community engagement.
