The growth of Telegram users with the help of crypto apps
Undoubtedly, this achievement was partly influenced by the boom of cryptocurrency games on this platform. Games such as NatCoin and Hamster Combat have attracted many users to Telegram in recent months. Through the system of mini-apps and the TON blockchain, this application has become an attractive platform for the activity of crypto-apps, and soon we must wait for the Telegram mini-apps store.
The initiator of this path was the NatCoin application, which allowed users to collect coins by tapping in the game. Players were promised that they would be able to convert in-game coins into cryptocurrency tokens. These tokens could also be sold and converted into common currencies. Finally, this happened and users managed to convert NOT tokens into TON.
Later, the game Hamster Kombat achieved a lot of success by walking on a similar path and quickly increased its users. This game also promises to launch its own token on the TON blockchain. Currently, many games with the same idea are operating on the Telegram platform and have occupied many users.
Earlier, in an interview in April, Telegram’s CEO had predicted that this application would probably pass the mark of 1 billion monthly active users in a year. Now it remains to be seen when this platform will finally cross this important threshold, considering that it has covered half of this path in this short period of time.
