I noticed that in 2024-2025, there has been a real explosion of games where you can earn crypto directly in Telegram. This is no longer just entertainment — millions of people are actually earning tokens through simple clicks and quests. Let’s analyze which projects are truly worth paying attention to.

I'll start with Notcoin — probably the most well-known among them. When the NOT token launched in May 2024, it caused huge hype. Over 35 million players collected virtual coins and then converted them into real tokens. The price started at $0.01, and the project quickly entered the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Later, they expanded the ecosystem through partnerships with Lost Dogs and launched decentralized applications. Currently, NOT is trading around break-even with a slight gain.

Hamster Combat gathered even more — about 300 million active players. The mechanics are simple: manage a virtual crypto exchange with hamsters and earn HMSTR with a single click. The developers promised a second season and new features, planning to create a broader gaming ecosystem. The token is now showing a small loss over a 24-hour period.

Catizen is a game where you can earn by raising virtual cats. 34 million players breed and combine cats, earning in-game currency vKITTY, which they then convert into CATI. The project positions itself as a bridge between Telegram and Web3, promising to create a hub of mini-applications with a launchpad, videos, and e-commerce. CATI is trading at around $0.05.

Moonbix is an interesting case — it’s a bot connected to one of the major platforms. It allows earning DOGS and NOT tokens by completing simple tasks. If you have an account on a major exchange, you can easily connect and track your progress. The trick is that snapshots are regularly taken to distribute free tokens to loyal users.

X Empire — formerly called Musk Empire — launched in July 2024. 35 million players build virtual empires and earn crypto. The X token was planned to be distributed at the end of 2024. They even released 570,000 NFT vouchers for a presale, and people actively traded them. The price of some vouchers reached up to $36. Currently, the token is not widely traded yet.

Rocky Rabbit is a game where you can earn by training virtual rabbits. 30 million players participate in battles, complete quests, and solve daily puzzles. Earnings are paid in RabBitcoin (RBTC). The project already held a distribution in September 2024, and the token was available on major platforms. Now RBTC is trading near zero.

Major — the last on the list but no less interesting. 30 million active users solve puzzles and complete quests, earning rating points. A unique feature is Pavel Durov’s riddles, where you need to find the correct sequence in avatars. The MAJOR token was chosen by community voting, and most of the supply is distributed to players based on their activity. Currently, MAJOR is trading at around $0.06.

What’s important to understand: these are all games where you can earn, but that doesn’t guarantee profit. The market is volatile, tokens can drop in value, and there are always security risks. Before investing your time and money, thoroughly research each project, protect your assets, and understand what you’re getting into. Crypto games are a developing field, and not all projects survive. But if approached thoughtfully, you can really earn something interesting.
