I have been exploring these Telegram games that promise to make money through Telegram, and honestly some of them are quite addictive. I started with Hamster Kombat a few months ago when hardly anyone knew about it, and now it has around 300 million users. The concept is simple: tap, earn points, level up until you become CEO. The interesting part is that it’s not just mindless tapping; you have to spend points strategically on upgrades and boosters to maximize your earnings per hour. They just launched their token HMSTR, which is rising quite a bit, with an 8% gain in 24 hours.

But if you want something more classic, Notcoin was the one that started all this back in January 2024. You just tap a giant coin, accumulate points, and compete with others. It has communities called “nations” where you play with friends, so it’s more social. The NOT token is showing strong movement with a 20% increase today.

Then there’s Catizen, which is more creative because you breed virtual cats to earn money via Telegram. The rarer your cats, the more tokens you generate. They recently launched their token CATI at $0.07, and it has risen 15% since then. What I like is that there are several ways to earn besides tapping: daily tasks, loot boxes, boosters.

Rocky Rabbit is different because you train a rabbit to fight others. It has tournaments with real prizes, and its RBTC token is already in circulation, although it has dropped quite a bit lately. X Empire is basically the same as Hamster but with Elon Musk as the main character; it has about 40 million users, and there are rumors they will launch a token on October 15.

TapSwap attracts over 60 million players with daily missions that give you up to 40,000 tokens. They plan to launch TAPS on October 30, so if you join now, you can accumulate quite a bit. And Major is the newest, created by the same person who made Friends Factory. Here you earn stars in different ways, not just by tapping, and you can form teams with friends to earn more.

What’s crazy is that once these games launch their tokens, they are listed on major platforms, so you can sell or invest. Notcoin is on several exchanges, Hamster too. So yes, you can literally make money through Telegram if you dedicate time to it. The question is whether these tokens will hold their value long-term, but for now the community keeps growing, and that’s a good sign.
