Snake on money: NOODLE soared from $25K to $20M in a day — is it hype or real earnings?
Noodle.gg — just Slither.io on the Solana blockchain, but here's the cool part: you play, eat other snakes, and take their $SOL. If you lose, you lose everything. In 14 hours, the game generated 75K Solana in volume, attracted over 1K players, and the meme coin NOODLE skyrocketed from $25K to nearly $20M in market capitalization. Creator Alex Leyman even hinted that in the future, NOODLE could replace SOL as the entry fee — the market immediately FOMO.
But wait. There is criticism. Users point to the risks of withdrawal ( the platform may restrict at its discretion ), and the backstory is not encouraging — a month ago a similar game Bigcoin collapsed by 83% after the hype. Plus, the terms of use are alarming with the confiscation of the balance for "fraud."
The wave of play-to-earn games in Telegram showed last year how quickly a trend can fade. Airdrops are meager, and people are getting disappointed. On the other hand, if NOODLE really integrates as a payment system, there is potential.
Verdict: Is it fun to play? Yes. Betting serious money? That's already a lottery. Bitcoin holds $103K, Solana $146 — for now, the ecosystem hasn't faltered. But the pyramid risk is real.
