Notcoin launched on January 1, 2024 as a simple game within Telegram. The idea was minimalist – tap the screen and earn virtual coins. No one expected it to attract 35 million players in just the first three months. As the game progressed, squads (groups of users banding together for more efficient “mining”) began to form. In total, 53,000 squads were created during the first phase.
Mining Phase
This period became known as the Mining Phase – a time of token accumulation. When it ended, many expected the typical outcome: a decline in interest and a forgotten project. But Notcoin’s developers took a different path.
Building Phase
After mining came the Building Phase – the ecosystem creation stage. Now, Notcoin isn’t just a game; it’s a multifunctional platform within Telegram offering Web3 interaction, games, rewards, and earning opportunities.
Differences from Other Projects
Unlike most crypto projects, Notcoin did not attract investors, sell tokens early on, or rely on marketing budgets. Development happened organically – thanks to the community.
- There are no major “whales” manipulating the market (the largest influencer holds only 0.02% of total tokens).
- 300,000 users created 800,000 vouchers, turning P2P trading into an economy with a turnover of over $25 million.
- 78% of all tokens went to miners and early participants.
Notcoin’s core philosophy is not to create artificial hype but to deliver real value.
Notcoin 2.0 Mini-App
After the mining phase, the Notcoin ecosystem continued to expand through its Telegram mini-app, which has become a full-fledged hub for various user activities.
Earning Notcoin
Mining has now been replaced by new activities. In the Explore section, users can:
- Complete tasks from different projects
- Test new apps
- Play games to earn tokens
Playing Not Games
The app now features games where you can earn Notcoin. One of the main games is Not Pixel – a drawing-mining game where every pixel affects the overall picture, creating a “butterfly effect.”
Other projects available within Notcoin include:
- Lost Dogs – a finished game that remains part of Not Games history
- Rekt.me Meme Maze, Maincard, Bastard The Cat, and BLINK – projects where rewards are given in NOT
Exploring Projects
The Explore section lets users discover new projects that distribute Notcoin for participation. Any startup can launch a campaign to attract users.
Developers emphasize that the ecosystem will grow through new mechanics – enabling users to find projects, earn rewards, and play games that create their own value.
Using “Benefits and Stuff”
Notcoin now features a digital goods store where you can exchange tokens for real benefits such as:
- Discounts on services and subscriptions
- Gaming bonuses
- Exclusive items available only through Notcoin
Examples include:
- Steamify – a free CS2 skin and a 10% discount
- CapsGame – the in-game currency $GUM
- Boinkers – in-game bonuses
- Ape Day – the opportunity to launch your own coin for 10 $NOT
This is the first step toward transforming Notcoin into an ecosystem of real goods and services.
Launching Your Project on Notcoin
A new feature allows companies or startups to list their own projects on Notcoin. In these campaigns, users complete tasks and earn Notcoin.
How it works:
Campaign creation: fill out a form and submit it for moderation
– Task setup: actions such as subscribing, visiting a website, and connecting a wallet
– Budget formation: a minimum reward pool of $20,000
– Launch and audience engagement: Notcoin provides access to 40 million crypto users
This format not only attracts attention but also creates real economic activity.
Notcoin Tokenomics
The total supply is 102,719,221,714 $NOT, of which:
- 80.2 billion (78%) is held by miners and voucher holders
- 22.5 billion (22%) is reserved for new users and further development
Creators emphasize that a portion of tokens will be burned to reduce supply and increase the value of the remaining coins.
How to Burn Notcoin
Token burning is one way to manage Notcoin’s economy. To burn $NOT, you need to:
- Create a new wallet (for example, in Tonkeeper)
- Send any amount of $NOT and 1 TON to that wallet
- Visit the dedicated page
- Connect the created wallet
- Click the Burn button
How to Buy Notcoin
You can buy $NOT through:
– Telegram Wallet (the built-in wallet @Wallet)
– Centralized exchanges such as Binance, OKX, and Bybit
– Decentralized exchanges like StonFi and DeDust
Before purchasing, you need to acquire USDT, which can then be exchanged for $NOT
Notcoin Is More Than Just a Token
Developers state that Notcoin isn’t just a team, channel, or token – it’s a way to interact with digital assets.
Today, Notcoin is:
- An open platform where anyone can participate
- A gaming hub with real rewards
- A marketplace for new projects
- A tool for monetization and user acquisition
Most importantly, Notcoin continues to evolve. The community and developers are working on new mechanics that will make Notcoin a key part of Web3 within Telegram.
Notcoin’s future depends not on investors but on its users – and so far, it’s working.
