Flappy Bird, a once-popular mobile game, is now being reborn as a crypto game on Telegram. According to the announcement, Flappy Bird “is officially returning after a long hiatus.” The return is supported by strategic partnerships with key players in the Web3 space, including Notcoin.
Like Notcoin, a “tap-to-earn” crypto game that gained traction after a successful Token Airdrop , Flappy Bird will be available on Telegram and use the TON blockchain. However, details on how the game will interact with TON are limited. “Players and the web3 community will have the opportunity to participate in a free mining event that combines the fun of classic Flappy Bird gameplay with the innovation of web3,” the announcement said.
The original creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, is not involved in the game’s reboot, according to the report. Nguyen posted on X that he has not sold any rights and does not endorse crypto. “I am not selling anything,” Flappy Bird developer Nguyen wrote on X. “I am also not endorsing crypto.”
Since news of the game’s potential revival and crypto connection recently surfaced, some users on X have criticized Flappy Bird’s blockchain rebirth, calling the new version a “scam” or “Ponzi scheme.” The Flappy Bird Foundation and Notcoin have not officially responded to a request for comment.
Official information about Notcoin's involvement was only made public on Monday. The game's specific Vai in this new Flappy Bird version remains unclear beyond Notcoin Vai as a publishing partner.
“Telegram is becoming an important area for app and game developers to create a new level of communication with users,” Notcoin founder Sasha Plotvinov said in the announcement. “Famous brands and intellectual properties like Flappy Bird are important to make this journey more recognizable and enjoyable for users.”
Since helping pioneer the tap-to-earn gaming model on Telegram, which led to games like Hamster Kombat and Yescoin, Notcoin has been trying to expand its gaming ecosystem and evolve into more than just a “tap-to-earn” title.
