Comprehensive Analysis of TON Ecosystem Airdrop Opportunities

The large-scale adoption of Web3 has always been a focus of the market. Currently, the market value of the TON public chain has entered the top ten, with over 900 million Telegram users and a thriving ecosystem of projects. Several TON ecosystem projects plan to attract users to participate through Airdrop.

Tonsquare

Tonsquare is the EVM L2 solution for the TON public chain. Its token TOS plans to airdrop 75% to node KEY holders, and the project team estimates that the market value of TOS could exceed 50 million USD.

KEY is an NFT that represents the operating nodes of the public chain. After activation, it can produce TOS tokens, with an expected annualized return rate of about 350%. Future income will also include cross-chain bridge fees and Gas shares from new public chains. The generated TOS can be staked for a period of 6 months starting from the end of June 2024, with an expected annualized return rate of about 300%.

The node KEY adopts an auction model similar to that of Gala nodes, with prices gradually increasing. It is currently in the second phase (out of a total of 15 phases). Holding more than 3 KEY also allows you to receive a Tonsquare NFT on the testnet. It should be noted that KEY can only be purchased and not sold.

Hamster Kombat

This is a clicker game where players earn coins by clicking on the hamster character on the screen. The game encourages community interaction to unlock more rewards and also allows players to purchase upgrade cards to increase passive income.

Hamster Kombat is quite popular in developing countries, and there are a large number of studios involved domestically, with the current user count reaching 200 million. Considering the market value of the first game leader in the TON ecosystem, the potential market value of Hamster Kombat may not exceed 500 million USD, and the airdrop amount per account is expected to be limited.

Pixelverse

Pixelverse is a cyber-style battle game. Players raise pet robots to engage in PVP and PVE combat, and adventure across different maps in the game center.

The project token PIXFI plans to allocate 25% for Airdrop. It is worth noting that PIXFI is an ERC20 token rather than a token on the TON blockchain. In the future, the team plans to develop a Cosmos-based EVM gaming public chain called Pixelchain. Pixelverse currently has 30 million users (with over 5 million daily active users), which could lead to a larger-scale Airdrop.

Pepe Wick

Pepe Wick is an idle shooting game, similar to Plants vs. Zombies. The game requires continuous token consumption to upgrade characters, and each character has a limited usage time, allowing only half an hour of play per day. Additionally, there are periodic collective BOSS battles, and victory can earn TON rewards. However, the token PEW plans an airdrop ratio of only 6%, and the expected airdrop scale is not large.

Mow

Mow is a pixel-style shooting game. Players shoot monsters to earn coins and upgrade weapons, with main gameplay including level challenges and PVP battles, offering strong gameplay experience. The project is currently in the testing phase, and the specific airdrop plan has not yet been announced.

Catizen

Catizen is an idle cat-raising game with gameplay similar to match-3 games. Players run a cat café, cultivate pets of various levels, and collect outputs. The game supports purchasing items to accelerate pet hatching. In the future, there are plans to develop a Launchpool and collaborate with multiple mini-games to launch blockchain-modified versions on the Catizen platform.

Catizen currently has 23 million users (with over 1.5 million daily active users), of which 50% are paying users. It generated $12 million in revenue within 3 months of launch. Its token CATI plans to allocate 42% for Airdrop and has the attributes of a new platform coin, with the Airdrop expected to take place in July.

Chick Coop

Chick Coop is a farming simulation game. Players sell eggs daily to upgrade their chicken farms. Currently, there are 1.5 million users (300,000 daily active users). 34% of its token CHICK is planned for Airdrop, and in the future, NFT and staking mechanisms will also be introduced.

Travel Frog

Travel Frog is a pet raising game based on the classic game "Traveling Frog". Players control the frog to travel and collect items. It is currently in the testing phase with 20,000 users. Its token FROG plans to allocate 70% for Airdrop (Travel to Earn model), but it will be conducted in four phases.

In addition to the above projects, there are many potential airdrop opportunities in the TON ecosystem, such as the exchange Blum, the football game Fanton, and the betting platform Balaton.bet. Interested users can further explore through the growth rankings on the TGStat website.

It is important to note that many projects in the TON ecosystem come from teams familiar with Web2 development, including domestic developers. Before large-scale participation, it is advisable to carefully research the background and potential of each project to make informed decisions.
