Analysis of TON Ecosystem Airdrop Opportunities

As Web3 adoption becomes a market focus, the TON public chain has rapidly risen due to its close connection with Telegram. Currently, TON has entered the top ten public chains by market capitalization, with ecological projects flourishing, and several projects planning to attract user participation through airdrops. This article will analyze several potential airdrop opportunities worth paying attention to in the TON ecosystem.

Tonsquare: TON's EVM-compatible layer

Tonsquare, as the EVM-compatible layer two solution for TON, plans to airdrop 75% of the TOS tokens to node KEY holders. KEY is an NFT representing operational nodes, which can generate TOS tokens once activated, with an expected annualized return of about 350%. Additionally, KEY may also share in cross-chain bridge fees and new public chain gas fees in the future.

The TOS token can be staked, with an expected duration starting from the end of June 2024 for 6 months, with an annualized return rate of approximately 300%. Currently, the KEY auction is in its second phase (out of a total of 15 phases) and is still in a relatively early stage. Holding more than 3 KEY allows you to claim Tonsquare NFT on the testnet. It should be noted that KEY can only be bought and not sold, which carries certain risks.

Hamster Kombat: Click Mining Game

Hamster Kombat is a click-to-mine game where players earn coins by clicking on hamster characters on the screen. The game encourages community interaction and provides upgrade cards to increase passive income. Currently, the number of users has reached 200 million, and it is particularly popular in third world countries.

Considering the market value of the first game leader in the TON ecosystem, the market value of Hamster Kombat is expected to be difficult to exceed 500 million USD, and the airdrop amount for a single account may not be too high.

Pixelverse: Cyberpunk Style Battle Game

Pixelverse is a cyber-style battle game where players train pet robots for PVP and PVE combat. The game plans to allocate 25% of the PIXFI tokens for Airdrop, and it is worth noting that PIXFI is an ERC20 token. Pixelverse currently has 30 million users, with over 5 million daily active users, and it is expected to become a large-scale Airdrop.

Pepe Wick: A Placement Shooting Game

Pepe Wick is a shooting game of the idle type, similar to Plants vs. Zombies. The game requires continuous character upgrades, and the daily game time is limited. Although there are interesting gameplay elements such as collective BOSS battles, the airdrop ratio of PEW tokens is only 6%, and the expected scale of the airdrop will not be too large.

Mow: Pixel-style Shooting Game

Mow is a pixel-style shooting game, with main gameplay including level challenges and PVP battles. It is currently still in the testing phase, and the specific Airdrop plan has not yet been announced.

Catizen: Idle Cat Raising Game

Catizen is an idle cat-raising game with gameplay similar to match-3 games. The game plans to develop a Launchpool and collaborate with multiple mini-games. Currently, the number of users has reached 23 million, with daily active users exceeding 1.5 million and a high conversion rate for payments. The Airdrop ratio for the CATI token is as high as 42%, and it has the attributes of a new platform token, with the airdrop expected to take place in July.

Chick Coop: Idle Farm Game

Chick Coop is an idle farming game where players upgrade their chicken farm by selling eggs daily. Currently, it has 1.5 million users, with 300,000 daily active users. The CHICK token plans an airdrop ratio of 34%, and in the future, NFT and staking mechanisms will also be introduced.

Travel Frog: A Raising Pet Game

Travel Frog is a nurturing pet game adapted from the classic game "Traveling Frog". It is currently still in the testing phase, with approximately 20,000 users. The FROG token plans to conduct airdrops in four phases, with a total airdrop ratio as high as 70%.

In addition to the above projects, there are several potential airdrop opportunities within the TON ecosystem, such as the exchange Blum, the football game Fanton, and the betting platform Balaton.bet. Investors should exercise caution when participating in these projects, fully understand the project background and risks, and avoid following trends blindly.
