Notcoin Goes Pre-Market: Vouchers Let Players Bet on Airdrop

Notcoin, the wildly popular tap-to-earn game on Telegram, is cranking things up a notch with pre-market trading. They’ve launched NFT vouchers built on The Open Network (TON) that allow dedicated players to speculate on the value of the upcoming NOT token, even before the official airdrop hits.

These vouchers act as a bridge between Notcoin’s in-game currency and the soon-to-be-launched NOT token. Players with a serious in-game stash (think 10 million coins or more!) can convert their coins into vouchers, essentially placing a bet on the future price of NOT.

There’s a clear hierarchy here: only players with a significant stockpile of in-game Notcoin (minimum 10 million) qualify for vouchers. But the potential rewards are enticing – these vouchers allow players to trade the NOT token before it officially launches, potentially profiting from early price movements.

Less invested players can still participate in the airdrop, simply holding their in-game Notcoin and exchanging it for NOT tokens when they become available. The airdrop itself is slated for late March or early April, targeting Notcoin’s impressive player base of 26 million.

With such a large audience in tow, the value of NOT remains shrouded in mystery. However, the NFT voucher system empowers players to take a calculated gamble based on their predictions.

The first voucher sale on the Getgems NFT marketplace saw a 100 million Notcoin voucher fetch $2,760 worth of Toncoin (100 TON). Interestingly, these vouchers come with a 20% royalty fee to fund NOT liquidity when the token goes live.

Beyond pre-market trading, the Notcoin team is actively managing the in-game economy through token burns. They’ve implemented two key mechanisms: every time players utilize a “boost” within the game, they effectively burn those in-game tokens.

Additionally, in-game balances of inactive users (dormant for 30+ days) are gradually burned at a rate of 5% per day until they return to play. Over two days, this process has already burned over 5 billion in-game coins!

The team also revealed a fascinating detail about the upcoming NOT token allocation during a recent Twitter Space. Users who actively recruited others to Notcoin could receive a larger share of the airdrop – with a maximum possible allocation of 0.03% of the total token supply.

Adding another layer of intrigue, Notcoin is governed by a 158,000-member DAO (decentralized autonomous organization). While the exact functionalities of this DAO remain unclear, the developers hinted at a “meta game” within Notcoin, evidenced by a Morse code puzzle embedded within the game.

Over 158,000 users successfully deciphered the code and received a cryptic message from the Notcoin bot: “Red or Blue Pill?” Those who chose the red pill were led to the NOT DAO manifesto.

Notcoin’s pre-market trading, token-burning mechanisms, and intriguing DAO structure are all signs of a project aiming for long-term playability beyond the simple tap-to-earn model. With the airdrop on the horizon, the coming weeks will be a period of eager anticipation for Notcoin’s dedicated player base.
