The click-to-earn games on Telegram have really become popular. I recently discovered that this kind of model is actually quite interesting. You don't need to spend too much time, just tap on the screen, play mini-games, and you can earn various tokens. Compared to traditional play-and-earn modes that often require hours, these games have much lower barriers to entry, so anyone can get started.

Among the several earning games I've been following recently, Notcoin is definitely the top star. Since launching in early 2024, this game has attracted over 35 million players. The core gameplay is clicking to collect virtual Notcoins, then exchanging them for $NOT tokens on the TON blockchain. When $NOT was launched, it was priced at $0.01, later grew to a market cap of $1.1 billion, and now the price is around $0.00, with a 24-hour increase of 12.47%. The game later introduced the Explore feature, allowing players to interact with dApps, making the ecosystem feel like it's constantly expanding.

There's also Hamster Kombat, which is equally popular, with 300 million players managing virtual hamsters running a crypto exchange. The HMSTR token airdrop has already taken place, and it's said that 60% of the token supply was distributed to players. The game is cleverly designed to keep people wanting to play continuously.

Catizen is another good option, with over 34 million players raising cats and merging them to earn vKITTY. The CATI token is now priced at $0.05, and the airdrop has already started. If the ecosystem continues to develop, the price could go up in the future.

Besides these, games like X Empire, Rocky Rabbit, and TapSwap each have their own features. X Empire lets you build a virtual empire and has issued NFT vouchers; Rocky Rabbit involves training virtual rabbits for battles; TapSwap has over 60 million registered players and recently launched a city-building mode.

The most interesting is Moonbix, a game launched by a major exchange on Telegram. The gameplay also involves clicking to collect items and completing daily tasks to accumulate points, which can be exchanged for airdrop rewards. The game was launched in September 2024, themed around space exploration, and you can invite friends to earn referral rewards.

All these earning games are built on blockchains like TON or Solana, ensuring assets are transparent and secure. For me, the most attractive part is the low barrier to entry, easy to get started, and the fact that you can actually earn real cryptocurrencies. Of course, the returns depend on how much time and effort you invest, but compared to traditional games, this play-and-earn mode has truly changed my perspective on gaming.
