PANews reported on December 31 that the growth of games on Telegram has had a positive impact on the TON blockchain. According to TonStat data, the number of accounts on the TON network has increased from about 4 million to 128 million in about a year. In addition, the price of the blockchain's native token, toncoin, has risen by more than 100%, and its market value has reached $14 billion as of December 18.
According to reports, user acquisition has always been the biggest challenge facing the Web3 gaming sector. However, by 2024, Web3 gaming seemed to have turned a corner with the launch of mini-games on the Telegram messaging platform. Many believe that the success of the mini-game "Notcoin" kicked off a wave of game development in the TON ecosystem, largely due to the success of its airdrop campaign. Following the lead of "Notcoin", other popular games have also been launched. Now, the challenge is to keep Telegram game users engaged and encourage them to try other blockchain-based applications on the messaging platform. However, the success of user introduction is undeniable, and according to Robby Yung, CEO of Animoca Brands, Telegram Games has proved another way to release crypto games.
