Telegram, supported by the success of blockchain-backed mini applications, announced the launch of the Telegram Gaming Accelerator in collaboration with Helika Gaming. This new initiative aims to leverage the recent significant interest in mini applications and blockchain technology to enhance the gaming experience on the messaging platform. The initiative also follows the success of games like Hamster Kombat, which launched on Telegram in March and witnessed 200 million players.
Important Steps Taken on the Telegram Front
Notcoin team’s announcement on social media platform X reveals that the extensive Telegram user base from mini applications has become the new meta. Telegram plans to expand its accelerator program specifically for game developers in collaboration with Helika Gaming.
The program aims to boost innovation and growth among developers interested in creating game applications integrated into Telegram. The collaboration is supported by a significant $50 million fund provided by Helika Accelerate, aiming to support game studios, mobile app developers, and independent developers.
This partnership aims to create an engaging and innovative gaming experience by combining the Telegram platform with the capabilities of the Ton blockchain network. This move signifies a strategic step by Telegram to diversify the number of games on its platform and reach a broader audience through incentivized game development.
Noteworthy Details
The first group of applications for the Telegram Gaming Accelerator program will open next week. In January, the popular clicker game Notcoin reached over 20 million users in less than a month, setting a hard-to-break record in the GameFi space.
Sasha Plotvinov, the founder of Open Builders, the team behind the game, announced in an April interview that the issue within the game had been resolved. Plotvinov simplified the participation process, removed all barriers, and motivated users to realize all this Web3.
