Making money on Telegram has probably become the biggest trend in recent months. I observe how more and more people are starting to play these tap-to-earn games, and it's really worth keeping an eye on what's happening here.
It all started with Notcoin, which basically created the entire category. The game is stupidly simple - you tap the coin, earn points, and then you can exchange them. But it’s this simplicity that attracted tens of millions of players. Notcoin appeared on major exchanges, and now people can actually make money from it.
Hamster Kombat took it further. It’s not just clicking - you need to think strategically, invest points in upgrades, manage your virtual stock exchange. Since its launch in March 2024, over 300 million users have joined. Recently, the HMSTR token dropped about 5% in 24 hours, but players who jumped in early have already earned quite a bit. Making money on Telegram through Hamster Kombat has turned out to be quite profitable for many.
Catizen is a whole different level - breeding virtual cats, building a city, generating tokens. Their token CATI now costs around $0.06, down 3% in the last day. But the game has great mechanics - the more cats you have, the more you earn. This shows that making money on Telegram doesn’t have to be boring.
Rocky Rabbit added elements of fighting and tournaments. You can train your rabbit and fight other players. The RBTC token is available on Gate.io and other platforms, although it’s recently experienced significant drops. But if someone has been playing from the start, they’ve accumulated tokens for free.
X Empire is interesting - instead of a hamster, you have Musk and his empire. The game has attracted 40 million players, which speaks for itself. Rumors talk about the XEMP token in October.
TapSwap and Major are also solid options with millions of users. Major’s token is valued at around $0.07.
What intrigues me - all these tokens are appearing on major exchanges. Notcoin is on many platforms, as are tokens from Hamster Kombat and Catizen. This means that making money on Telegram is not just a game but a real investment potential.
Of course, tokens go up and down like all others. But the tap-to-earn model has attracted billions of users to cryptocurrencies. If you’re interested in making money on Telegram, it’s worth looking at these games - at least you’ll learn how blockchain works, and maybe you’ll earn something. Gate.io has most of these tokens if you want to keep track of them.
