Buzzy Telegram game Notcoin has racked up 27 million players ahead of the NOT token drop. Here's why it has us in its grasp.

Notcoin is built within messaging app Telegram and corresponds with a token being launched on The Open Network (TON), the blockchain originally created by the app. Following some initial uncertainty around the airdrop, Notcoin creator Open Builders confirmed that the token will indeed go on-chain via TON, with an ETA of late March or early April.

The team also recently launched an NFT-based voucher system that lets players convert their in-game currency into vouchers and trade them before the token debuts. Players who want to opt-out of the pre-money voucher system can just wait until their in-game currency becomes exchangeable for tokens.

There’s not much to the tapping—but what really grabbed me about this deceivingly simple game is the social aspect of it. Soon after setting up my Notcoin Telegram bot, I learned that a couple of my friends were also playing and immediately felt the urge to surpass them on the leaderboard.
