The Telegram game has driven the number of TON network accounts to increase from about 4 million to 128 million within a year

According to reports, the growth of games on Telegram has had a positive impact on the TON blockchain. According to data from TonStat, in about a year's time, the number of accounts on the TON network increased from approximately 4 million to 128 million. In addition, the price of this blockchain's native token toncoin rose by more than 100%, and as of December 18th, its market value reached $14 billion.

The report stated that user acquisition has always been the biggest challenge faced by Web3 gaming industry. However, by 2024 with the launch of mini-games on Telegram communication platform, Web3 games seem to have turned a corner. Many people believe that the success of mini-game "Notcoin" initiated a wave of game development in TON ecosystem which is largely attributed to its successful air-drop campaign. Under Notcoin’s lead other popular games were also launched one after another. Now, challenges lie in maintaining engagement levels among Telegram game users and encouraging them try out other blockchain-based applications available on their messaging platform. Nevertheless,the success in attracting users is undeniable; according to Robby Yung CEO at Animoca Brands,Telgram Games have demonstrated an alternative way for launching crypto games.
