On May 16, Telegram launched a memecoin called Notcoin (NOT, not yet rated) .
Spoiler alert: it’s actually a coin.
Some of you may remember that my colleague Marija Matić did an in-depth study on NOT and the chain it is based on, Toncoin ( TON ).
She wanted to make sure every Telegram user knew that if they played in-app games, they had a chance to win the token for free.
This is because the Toncoin network was launched by Telegram. And, I’m sure you’ll agree, free memecoin is a great way to attract people’s interest.
Telegram even makes it very simple to claim NOT coins. Users only need to click a few buttons every day to earn NOT coins, a process called “tap-2-earn.”
Now, since users can get it for free, you would think that it wouldn’t be completely abandoned once it starts trading on exchanges.
But that’s not the case (pun intended). Just look at its price list:

Today, NOT has a market cap of $1.6 billion. It has risen 4 times from its all-time low and is expected to continue its upward trend.
Not bad for a token that’s distributed for free and all you have to do is click on the app a few times a day!
Targeting Another Free Token
Now, you may have missed your chance to NOT, but that’s why it pays to keep an eye on cryptocurrency news. Because Telegram is planning to launch another tap-2-earn token.
Like NOT, Telegram users can mine tokens by playing in-app games.
If you have a Telegram account, you can join the Hamster Kombat announcement group via this link , where you can find the link to the game.
It should look something like this:
Click the Play button as shown in the red box above. Once clicked, the Hamster Kombat app will launch and you will see the following screen:
This is your Hamster Kombat dashboard.
The aim of the game is to get as many points as possible. Simply tap on your hamster avatar to start earning points.
Pretty simple, right?
The big number in the middle (marked with a yellow 1 above) shows your current points balance. The number marked with a yellow 2 above is your hourly profit.
The more points you have, the more likely you are to get a bigger share when the Hamster Kombat tokens airdrop occurs later this month .
If the tokens perform as well as expected, players who received this airdrop will be well rewarded.
The best part is that this is a free game and you can enjoy the game at the same time.
If you don't have Telegram, you can download it from the Android or Apple store to play Hamster Kombat.
If you are looking to get the airdrop, you may also want to download Tonkeeper, a Toncoin-specific self-custodial wallet. You can also download it from the app store to keep all your Toncoin-based cryptocurrencies for yourself.
While you can keep your Toncoin-based tokens in the Telegram app, we always recommend storing your cryptocurrencies yourself. That way, no one can access them except you.
I wish you a happy gaming!
