The Next Notcoin? 5 Tap-to-Earn Games Poised for Massive Gains

The advancements in blockchain technology have ensured that the Tap-to-earn games are not only secure but also scalable, providing a seamless user experience. The recent success of Notcoin, gives a lucrative glimpse of the potential of this emerging crypto sector. The incorporation of decentralized finance (DeFi) elements into T2E games offers players new ways to earn, such as staking and yield farming, further increasing their earning potential.

The Tap-to-Earn (T2E) niche that began with Notcoin has burgeoned into a mammoth industry. Despite the rapidly growing reputation of T2E games, many have yet to launch their tokens. The rapid growth of the crypto ecosystem means that utility projects such as blockchains, DeFi protocols, and DEXs are taking advantage of the T2E movement to amass huge user bases even before they launch. Here are five top Tap-to-Earn games that have 100X potential.

1. Tap-to-Earn Games – Hamster Kombat

Hamster Kombat launched on March 5, 2024, but it was not until the last week of March that the game became popular. By March 28, the game had 30,000 players, and the following day that number jumped to 100,000, and doubled that by March 31. 

From there the game blew up, reaching over 150 million active players in just three months. The massive success of Hamster Kombat is also reflected in their social media accounts, with X hitting 9.1 million followers and YouTube more than 25 million subscribers.

Hamster Kombat’s tokens HMSTR have already started trading pre-market on Gate.io and Kucoin, Bitget at an average price of $0.18. 

Hamster Kombat players get rewarded with HMSTR coins by managing a virtual crypto exchange. Game officials have announced that the token will be listed by the end of June and will be launched on the TON network. 

2. Tapswap

Tapswap is another Tap-to-Earn game that is going to launch on the TON blockchain. The game has been the victim of suspicion amongst players since the team introduced a feature to double your amount of coins by paying a small fee in TON. Confidence amongst users was reduced, but the game still survived.  Tapswap has over 6 million followers on X and more than 48 million active players on Telegram.

In a recent AMA with TON Foundation, Tapswap explained that they changed their launch blockchain to integrate better with Telegram. Concerning the issue of paid boosting the team explained it was designed to cover development costs while helping users increase balance.

The Tapswap team has confirmed they are in ongoing discussions with tier-1 exchanges and that, unlike most recent failed airdrops, most of their tokens will be allocated to the community.

3. Pixelverse

Pixelverse is a Tap-to-Earn game that involves a universe called Xenon set in a cyberpunk world where artificial intelligence (AI) rules over other life forms. Kirill Volgin, the creator of the game, designed it to have players engage in PvE battles, collect NFTs, and customize their bots to earn more coins.

Pixelverse went live on March 15, and by March 22, it had already garnered 10,000 players. PIXFI is the official token of the Pixelverse T2E game. It is deflationary and useful for marketplace transactions, crafting, and breeding bots. PIXFI is also the official gas token of the Pixelchain.

Pixelverse recently raised $5.5 million from top VCs, including The Sandbox and BreederDAO. As of June 16, Pixelverse had over 26 million players and 1.5 million followers on X. The game has ongoing giveaway partnerships with OKX and Trustwallet and has also joined forces with Blum, another successful Tap-to-Earn game.

4. Blum

Blum is a Tap-to-Earn game available on Telegram that also promotes itself as a crypto trading app. Launched in January, it aims to make crypto trading accessible and easy for everyone.

Apart from farming Blum points (BP) every 8 hours, players can play a simple game inside the Telegram mini-app to increase their points. It is important to note that Blum is not a crypto exchange, but has access to all coins both on centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Blum made it to the Season 7 Binance Most Valuable Builder accelerator program. Most MVB projects usually end up securing a free listing on the Binance exchange. 

A Bloomberg article revealed that Blum is the brainchild of former Eastern Europe Binance executives Gleb Kostarev and Vladimir Smerkis. When done, Blum will enable users to buy crypto P2P using local currencies, with a simplified user interface for both the young and the elderly. The final, long-awaited Blum product is launching soon, though the team has not yet provided specific dates.

5. Catizen AI

Catizen AI, launched on March 7, has been around for four months now. The game features AI, GameFi, and a cat metaverse that engages users in a play-to-airdrop system, rewarding players with tokens when the project goes live.

Catizen AI will also launch on the TON blockchain and will offer numerous in-game purchases to help players level up and increase their loot. The main gameplay involves breeding cats whose quality and value keep increasing.

Catizen gained popularity quickly in its early days, gaining 10,000 users within five hours of launching. Catizen completed its seed round funding on March 11, securing investment from industry leaders such as Ton Foundation, mask Network, and Emurgo.

As of June 19, Catizen had over 20 million active users and consistently topped the TON Foundation’s Open League rankings. Moreover, the team increased their total airdrop allocation from 35% to 42%.

Conclusion

The Telegram Tap-to-Earn niche has quickly morphed into an incubator stage for projects that want to gain real users quickly. While it started as only gaming, it has now expanded to trading apps (Solstone Trading Bot), DeFi protocols (Blum), and even entire blockchains (Pixelchain).
