Rising Telegram crypto game Tomarket revealed fresh airdrop details this week ahead of its planned TOMA token launch on The Open Network (TON).
Players must reach a level of at least Bronze in the game’s leveling system, which is based on various forms of gameplay and engagement across the Telegram mini app. Tomarket lets players earn in-game tomatoes—akin to points in other crypto apps—along with gold coins that can be used to boost your overall player level over time.
Tomarket previously revealed that players must add a tomato emoji to their Telegram username to be eligible. TOMA is set to launch on October 31 on TON, the same network used by most of the major Telegram crypto games to date, including Hamster Kombat, Catizen, and Notcoin.
According to the Tomarket team, the mini app has seen surging growth in recent weeks, topping the 40 million player mark on Wednesday after adding 11 million more users over the past month. Tomarket originally launched in July and has gradually expanded since then. Telegram app data shows about 27.8 million active users over the past month.
With one week left before the token launch and associated airdrop, committed players are taking advantage of new features like the daily combo bonus and hidden tomato stash in the Telegram mini app to potentially boost their airdrop allocations.
The next major Telegram game airdrop on the horizon is actually taking place Thursday when the Elon Musk-themed tap-to-earn game X Empire drops its X token on TON.
