Notcoin (NOT) has experienced a remarkable surge, climbing over 58% in the past 24 hours to reach $0.009165. This significant rise has propelled Notcoin’s market cap to over $941 million, reflecting a 55.72% increase and placing it at number 94 in the cryptocurrency market cap rankings, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The recent price spike follows a favorable community vote where Notcoin was overwhelmingly preferred over Bitcoin. In a recent social media poll, Notcoin captured 86.2% of the 29,711 votes cast. The project’s team highlighted this achievement on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a comparison between Notcoin and Bitcoin. They emphasized Notcoin's limited supply and wide distribution, pointing out that it is still relatively inexpensive compared to Bitcoin. They noted that the last time Bitcoin had a market cap of approximately $0.5 billion in 2013, its price was around $100.

On May 26, Notcoin announced the launch of the NOT Airdrop Phase 1. To participate in the airdrop, users must connect their wallets to see their allocation. This initiative aims to distribute Notcoin tokens more broadly among users, encouraging wider adoption and engagement with the Notcoin ecosystem.

In addition to the airdrop, Notcoin has introduced a new mission type that allows players to passively earn crypto token rewards. These "earning missions" are designed to offer continuous rewards, unlike previous tasks that provided one-time rewards. According to a report, these missions guide players through various communities belonging to "partner projects," rewarding them with tokens for learning about other crypto games and apps.

The NOT earnings are based on the player's in-game level, with higher levels offering larger pools of potential rewards. Users can increase their level by staking Notcoin, and the amount staked at the end of each month determines their ranking. The highest level, Platinum, provides the most NOT tokens as rewards.

Notcoin’s journey began in early 2024 with a social clicker game where players tapped a virtual golden coin to earn in-game Notcoin currency. The NOT token is central to the Notcoin ecosystem, designed to be a community-driven coin that empowers users to engage with the project in various ways. Users can explore and discover new web3 products and services while earning NOT tokens. Additionally, they can engage with new games on the Notcoin platform and receive rewards in NOT.

Recently, Notcoin donated over 1 billion NOT tokens (worth $6.8 million) to Telegram and its founder, Pavel Durov. This donation underscores Notcoin's commitment to building a strong community and supporting influential figures in the tech and crypto spaces.

The surge in Notcoin's value and the community's overwhelming support in the recent poll highlight the growing interest and confidence in the project. With ongoing initiatives like the airdrop and earning missions, Notcoin aims to further expand its user base and cement its position in the cryptocurrency market.
