Tonnect 2024 Most Popular Game Application Award Winners:

The Most Popular Game Application award brings into spotlight top ten games that have significantly contributed to the growth and user engagement within the TON ecosystem, particularly through their innovative “tap-to-earn” model. Notcoin led the way with over 35 million users, establishing the Triangle initiative, a community builder and accelerator program. Following its success, games like Hamster Kombat, with 250 million users, and TapSwap, with 60 million users, further expanded the ecosystem by blending engaging gameplay with TON's cryptocurrency elements.

Each game offers unique experiences, from Catizen's charming pet simulation and DogsHouse's virtual dog communities to Yescoin's (Yellow and White) community-driven challenges and collaborative gameplay. TG Frog and TapCoins attract casual gamers with their simple mechanics, while Pixelverse provides an immersive, pixelated universe for creativity and exploration. Together, these games have cultivated dedicated communities utilizing the potential of blockchain-based gaming on TON.

In the Most Popular DeFi Application category the following projects have broadened passive income opportunities in the TON ecosystem and extended its utility beyond Telegram-based gaming. Tomarket, backed by Bitget Wallet, has attracted over 5 million new users with its Play-to-Earn Telegram Drop Game, becoming a popular choice for decentralized trading due to its ease of use and reliable transaction processing. STON.fi operates as a decentralized exchange using an automated market maker (AMM) model, allowing users to swap, farm, and stake TON-based tokens without intermediaries, enhancing trading efficiency.

TONStakers offers a straightforward staking platform, enabling users to earn passive income by staking their TON tokens, recognized for its user-friendly interface and reliable performance. DeDust, a multi-chain decentralized exchange, supports cross-chain trading with low fees, making it a favored option for users looking to trade across different blockchain networks within the TON ecosystem. Lastly, Eva Protocol focuses on sustainable DeFi solutions, providing yield farming and staking opportunities that promote long-term financial stability and growth on the TON blockchain.

In the Most Popular Social App award, MemeFi takes the spotlight. As a Web3 game that combines elements of meme culture and GameFi, it is built around a multi-token economy and offers players the chance to earn rewards through gameplay that uses both meme-themed tokens and NFT items.

Last but not least the Most Popular NFT App award was given to GetGems, an NFT marketplace built on TON. It allows users to buy, sell, mint, and manage NFTs with ease. The app has become a central hub for NFT activities within the TON ecosystem.
