TechFlow reports that the gaming ecosystem on The Open Network (TON) blockchain has experienced explosive growth in 2024. Inal Kardan, TON Foundation's head of gaming, revealed that around 20% of Telegram's monthly active users now play at least one game, a 20-fold increase since last December.
Casual games like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat, leveraging the Telegram platform, may have already brought tens or even hundreds of millions of new users to Web3. Notcoin has completed a $1 billion token airdrop, while Hamster Kombat claims over 300 million users and plans what it calls "the largest airdrop in crypto history." Industry insiders expect more mid-core games to launch on TON and Telegram within the next six months, potentially generating significant revenue.
