Notcoin (NOT) is the native digital currency that Notcoin uses to reward users. Currently, NOT is already listed on Binance and OKC.

Hamster Kombat is another popular Telegram-based clicker game boosting TON blockchain activity. The Web 3 game has been dubbed the new Notcoin.

Telegram’s messenger reportedly controls a large user base, just shy of a billion users. The platform’s integration with TON has massively increased the blockchain’s reach. TON has tapped into Telegram’s large user base through in-app applications like clicker games that allow Telegram users to play, earn, and transact crypto easily.

For instance, the popularity of Notcoin and Hamster Kombat can be largely attributed to Telegram’s large user base. The messenger app has provided a platform for these Web 3 clicker games to tap into over 900 million users.
Aside from the large user base, Telegram has also provided a convenient way for people to interact with crypto and play-to-earn clicker games. Unlike the seemingly complex crypto exchange platforms with trading charts, Telegram offers a user-friendly way to interact with cryptocurrencies. On the platform, crypto users play and earn within the mini apps. Telegram users can also send crypto to others, like sending text messages.
