Coin World reported:
In the overall market downturn, $TON has reached a historic new high. $TON has just broken through 8 US dollars, with a daily increase of nearly 9%, which is significantly different from the overall market performance. Why did TON rise against the trend? This is related to the continuous increase in its ecological popularity, which can be seen from TON Network’s TVL breaking through the historical high of 500 million US dollars.
As a representative project of the TON ecology, Notcoin ($NOT) became a new coin mining project on Binance and was listed for trading. Its market value once exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and although it has fallen back, it still has a market value of 18 billion US dollars. Notcoin is a game based on Telegram, similar to WeChat mini-games, where users click on the image of a coin to earn in-game coins. Notcoin also airdropped $NOT to its player users.
In addition to Notcoin, many new small game projects have emerged in the TON ecology, claiming to have millions of users, and these projects will also airdrop project tokens. There are many such small game projects, and currently the most noteworthy are 4: Pixelverse, MomoAI, Hamster Kombat, and Catizen.
