Battle Bulls

Battle Games is a Telegram-based mini-app that combines tapping with battle mechanics, offering a family of mobile games. The first game, Battle Bulls, grants players bull characters whose power increases through tapping. Players can then use these powerful bulls to battle others for rewards.

The more players tap, the stronger their bulls become, leading to greater rewards in battles. Players advance in levels based on their activity and victories, aiming to reach the highest rank, Grandmaster. Those who achieve this rank receive more bonuses and opportunities to maximize their rewards.

In August, Battle Bulls will airdrop BULL SPLIT tokens to users, with plans to list these tokens on a Tier 1 crypto exchange in November. Afterward, in-game rewards could be exchanged for BULL SPLIT tokens, which can be sold on exchanges or used for daily rewards in mini-app.

Notcoin

Notcoin Review: Should You Play the Telegram Game Ahead of the Airdrop? -  Decrypt

Notcoin was the pioneer of clicker games in the crypto market. Launched in January 2024, the game went viral and quickly attracted 35 million users. Its success was driven by its simple concept: players clicked on a coin image to earn $NOT tokens.

Early players enjoyed maximum rewards, but these declined as the user base grew. By early April 2024, $NOT mining ceased, and players could only earn tokens through in-app quests. In May 2024, $NOT was listed on several major crypto exchanges and soon became one of the top 10 traded coins, with a market cap exceeding $1.4 billion.
