Telegram has finally blossomed from just a straightforward messaging app into a playground brimming with mining apps and mini-games for everyone to play and earn from. This evolution mirrors Telegram’s vision to weave together gaming, financial transactions, and social interactions seamlessly in one cohesive platform, thus reshaping digital entertainment once more by expanding the dynamic world of Web3 and the GameFi narrative in a fresh base and user-friendly way.

Telegram Mini-Games — A Game-Changer for Web3

Telegram’s mini-games and mining apps gained momentum last year and are now gaining even more traction in 2024. Developed in collaboration with The Open Network (TON) Foundation and Tencent, these mini applications utilize Telegram bots integrated into the TON Network, streamlining the user experience by eliminating the need to switch to other third-party apps.

Most of the TON mini-games are idle and free-to-play, but some paid mini apps also facilitate transactions through digital payments like Google Pay, Apple Pay, and the native token $TON. As of April 2024, Telegram prides approximately 800 million users and aims to introduce decentralized finance and gaming to a massive audience.

By intersecting fun with earning potential and social interaction within a single app, Telegram (TON Blockchain) is poised to establish a significant presence in the Web3 ecosystem, making it accessible and straightforward for users to dive into.

…and now without further ado, here are the ten (10) standout Telegram mini-games where you can have fun and potentially earn airdrops from:

1.) Tomarket Drop Game

Tomarket Drop Game is a Tap2Earn mini-game where users can earn $TOMATO tokens, free of cost. This game serves as a preview to the game’s upcoming main launch, aiming to reward early community members and introduce $TOMATO ahead of Tomarket.ai’s official debut. All $TOMATO tokens earned will be converted to Tomarket.ai’s official token upon TGE. To earn tokens, users can engage in hourly harvesting sessions yielding 360 $TOMATO tokens each, and participate in the Tomato Drop Game where users earn tokens based on how many tomatoes they press in a 30-second timeframe.

3.) Dogs

DOGS (DOGS) is a meme coin rooted in the spirit of the Telegram community, inspired by Spotty, the beloved mascot of VK created by Pavel Durov during a charity auction.

From VK’s early sticker characters to appearances at VK Fest and space ventures, Spotty now represents DOGS, the most Telegram-native meme coin. To claim your $DOGS tokens, the DOGS bot will prompt you to verify your duration of Telegram usage. The longer you’ve been active on Telegram, the more $DOGS tokens you’ll receive. After verifying your usage, the bot will distribute $DOGS tokens according to your Telegram activity. *Note: Make sure to not leave your telegram username blank, else the bot won’t recognize your account.

Resource management plays a crucial role as players harvest clovers from nearby ponds to support their frog’s journey. A visit to the shop allows you to purchase essential items like food, water, and equipment to equip your frog’s travel backpack for the adventures ahead. Once your frog embarks on its journey, anticipation builds as it sets out to explore. Upon its return, unlocking treasure chests reveals a variety of rewards including $FORG tokens, exclusive items, powerful gear, and stylish costumes. As a cherry on top, these treasures can also be traded on the market for profit, if the user wishes to.
