Open Builders, the creative minds behind Notcoin, Lost Dogs, and Not Pixel, have made a groundbreaking announcement about the upcoming launch of Not Games in March. This exciting project is set to reinvigorate the Notcoin (NOT) ecosystem by offering players the opportunity to earn tokens through gameplay.
Amid a noticeable decline in interest for Telegram-based mini-games and a decrease in TON's user base to its lowest point in a year, Open Builders aims to captivate users once again with the innovative concept of Not Games.
Not Games is more than just a single game on Telegram - it is a unified gaming universe that connects various gaming experiences. Through features like Game Profiles, shared inventories, and an in-game marketplace for player-to-player trading, Not Games will expand the utility of the NOT token within the gaming economy, transforming it from a simple reward mechanism to a valuable asset.
The team at Notcoin envisions a seamless integration of NOT as the primary currency for in-game transactions, upgrades, and rewards across all games within the ecosystem. Players can look forward to engaging in competitions every three weeks to earn rewards in NOT, fostering a play-to-win environment rather than a pay-to-win scenario.
Excitingly, Open Builders has already rolled out the first game, VOID, with plans for at least five more games currently in the pipeline.
Notcoin (NOT) made waves in 2024 with its tap-to-earn concept, alongside other popular projects like Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), Yescoin, TapSwap, and Blum, attracting a staggering 35 million players within the initial six months. However, recent data from Google Trends suggests a notable decline in interest for Notcoin, nearly fading away by 2025.
Furthermore, statistics from Tgstat indicate a significant decrease in the Notcoin Community's Telegram membership since the start of the year. Despite the listing of NOT on Kraken in mid-February, its price saw only a brief surge before continuing on a downward trajectory, hitting new lows in 2025, signaling fading investor interest.
The dwindling daily active addresses on The Open Network (TON) from 2.4 million in October 2024 to a mere 130,000 at present, as reported by Artemis data, presents a substantial challenge for the sustainability of the Notcoin (NOT) ecosystem.
As Open Builders embarks on this exciting new chapter with Not Games, the future of Notcoin holds the promise of a revitalized and engaging gaming experience for players worldwide.
