Notcoin, the Telegram-based game that gained popularity among millions of users, has recently announced the launch of its anticipated token on May 16. The NOT token, built on The Open Network (TON), will be available for trading on OKX and Bybit. OKX will be running a special campaign called ‘jumpstart’ for users who stake Toncoin (TON) to receive a share of Notcoin tokens.

The campaign kicks off on May 13, with OKX offering 1.28 billion NOT tokens to its users, which represents 1.25% of the total token supply. Bybit, on the other hand, has not yet revealed any similar reward programs for its users.

For players of Notcoin who earned NOT tokens through the game, the process for claiming these tokens is still unclear. However, co-creator Sasha Plotvinov mentioned that players can transfer their NOT tokens to a centralized exchange or withdraw them to a self-custody wallet.

Notcoin became a viral sensation earlier this year, attracting 35 million players who engaged in mining activities to earn in-game coins. The game concluded its mining phase on April 1 and faced delays in launching the token on April 20, coinciding with the Bitcoin halving event. Plotvinov highlighted that the NOT token launch is just the beginning, with plans to introduce new social games and experiences with ongoing NOT token rewards.

In another development, Binance has included NOT as the 54th project on Binance Launchpool. From May 13 to May 15, users can stake BNB and FDUSD in separate pools to farm NOT tokens before trading commences on May 16 with various pairs. The project aims to attract users through a tap-to-earn mechanism, with continuous airdrops potentially causing price fluctuations. KYC verification is mandatory for staking.
