‘Pixelverse’ Sets TON Token Launch Date: Will Telegram Gamers Get an Airdrop?
Pixelversethe project behind the rise Telegram PixelTap Gameannounced on Monday that it will launch its PIXFI token on The open network (TON) Thursday, July 18, to tweet that “major centralized exchanges” are ready to list the token at 12:00 UTC.
The launch of the PIXFI token comes at a time of sharply increasing demand for Telegram-based games. After Not money attracted 35 million players earlier this year and launched the largest game token launch of the year in May, other games on the messaging platform have begun to gain traction. Pixelverse says it attracted 50 million new players in June alone.
But the tokens for those other games haven’t materialized yet. Hamster Fight has said it will launch its token on TON this month, but there is no date yet, and the creators of the Notcoin-style game TapSwap They said that the launch will happen this quarter.
Kori Leon, co-founder of Pixelverse, said DecipherGG says they are taking a different route than other major Telegram games by releasing the token as soon as possible.
“Pixelverse, with its PIXFI token, is the first to be launched in the Telegram ecosystem by Notcoin. This launch coincides with a market showing signs of recovery,” he said. “Other tokens in the TON ecosystem, such as Hamster Kombat, have announced a second air launch but did not proceed with the listing initially rumored for late May. Meanwhile, TapSwap has postponed its launch to Q3.”
Pixelverse announced last week that it has raised $7.5 million in additional funding from Galaxy and other investors, following a $5.5 million round announced in June that included participation from Delphi Digital, Merit Circle and others.
Can Telegram’s latest growing group of games recreate Notcoin’s on-chain hype? It’s the burning question that tens of millions of gamers are eager to hear about. Not even Leon has been shy about rising to the challenge, as tap-to-earn combat game PixelTap continues to gain traction in the Telegram gaming space.
“While we anticipate the results of the tap-to-earn trend, it remains to be seen whether Pixelverse will achieve the same success as Notcoin,” he said. Decipher“However, it is undeniable that Telegram’s mini-games have successfully brought millions of users into the crypto space in recent months, regardless of financial results.”
The other burning question for players, of course, is whether they can expect an airdrop of the PIXFI token. Leon declined to share concrete details, but said the token’s goal is to encourage extended rewards and incentives rather than dumping them all on users at once.
“This positions Pixelverse more as a game play to earnusing the tapping mechanics in PixelTap to grow their audience and build their community before expanding their game,” he said. “Players will be able to claim and receive PIXFI tokens and in-game assets, but the exact details on how this will work are still unknown.”
Leon added that the project aims to “redefine” tap-to-earn rewards by not disclosing allocations to users, but noted that ultimately 30% of PIXFI’s total supply is designed for “long-term gaming rewards.”
