Analysis of Airdrop Opportunities in the TON Ecosystem

With the development of large-scale adoption of Web3, the market value of the TON public chain has entered the top ten, and its ecological projects are thriving. Many TON ecological projects plan to reward community participants through Airdrop, providing users with abundant participation opportunities.

Tonsquare

Tonsquare is an EVM L2 chain on the TON public chain, similar to other public chain layer 2 solutions. Its token TOS plans to airdrop 75% to node KEY holders, and the project team estimates that the market value of TOS may exceed 50 million USD.

KEY is an NFT representing the operating nodes of the public chain. Once activated, it can produce TOS tokens, with an expected yield of approximately 350%. In the future, KEY income will also include cross-chain bridge fees and Gas sharing from new public chains. The generated TOS can be staked, with a staking period of 6 months and an estimated yield of around 300%.

The node KEY adopts an auction model, and the price will gradually increase. It is currently in the second phase (out of a total of 15 phases) and is still in a relatively early stage. Holding more than 3 KEYs also allows you to claim a Tonsquare NFT on the testnet. It should be noted that KEY can only be bought and not sold.

Hamster Kombat

Hamster Kombat is a clicker game where players earn coins by clicking on the hamster characters on the screen. The game encourages community interaction to unlock more rewards and allows players to increase their passive mining income by purchasing upgrade cards.

The game is quite popular in developing countries, and there are also many gold farming studios participating domestically, with the current number of users reaching 200 million. 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 per account may not be too high.

Pixelverse

Pixelverse is a cyber-style battle game where players can train pet robots for PVP and PVE combat and adventure across different maps. The founder was responsible for the coin listing business in the Middle East for a well-known trading platform.

25% of its token PIXFI is planned for Airdrop. It is worth noting that PIXFI is an ERC20 token and not a token on the TON chain. The project plans to develop a Cosmos-based EVM gaming public chain called Pixelchain in the future. Pixelverse currently has 30 million users (with over 5 million daily active users) and may become 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, each character has a usage time limit, and you can only play for half an hour each day. The game also features collective BOSS battles where victory can earn TON rewards. However, its PEW token plan allocates only 6% for Airdrop, and the expected scale will not be very large.

Mow

Mow is a pixel-style shooting game where players shoot monsters to earn gold and upgrade their weapons. The main gameplay includes level progression and PVP battles, offering strong gameplay mechanics. 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 manage a cat cafe, nurture pets of various levels, and collect their outputs. The game supports paid purchases of items to accelerate pet hatching. There are future plans to develop a Launchpool and collaborate with multiple mini-games for blockchain modifications.

Catizen currently has 23 million users (with over 1.5 million daily active users), and 50% are paid users. In just 3 months since its launch, it has generated $12 million in revenue. Its token CATI plans to allocate 42% for Airdrop, and it has the characteristics of a platform token for new projects, with the Airdrop expected to take place in July.

Chick Coop

Chick Coop is a farming simulation game where players upgrade their chicken coops by selling eggs daily. It currently has 1.5 million users (300,000 daily active users). Its token CHICK plans to allocate 34% for Airdrop, and in the future, NFT and staking mechanisms will be introduced.

Travel Frog

Travel Frog is a pet-raising game adapted from the classic game "Traveling Frog". It is currently still in the testing phase, with 20,000 users. Its token FROG plans to use 70% for Airdrop (Travel to Earn), but it will be conducted in four phases.

In addition, there are projects in the TON ecosystem, such as certain trading platforms, football games, lottery platforms, roulette games, and fishing games, that may launch Airdrop plans.

Overall, many game developers in the TON ecosystem come from the Web2 field, including several domestic teams. Before participating in a large-scale Airdrop event, it is advisable for users to carefully research the project background and development potential, and to cautiously assess risks and returns.
