Major Telegram Game and Engagement Platform to Launch Token, Initiate Airdrop

The popular Telegram game and engagement platform, Major, is set to launch its token, MAJOR, and initiate its highly anticipated airdrop on Thursday.

Popular Telegram game and engagement platform Major will be launching its token, MAJOR, and kicking off its highly awaited airdrop on Thursday.

On-chain claims are now live for eligible players ahead of the token generation event, which is set for 12:00 PM UTC.

Eligible players will be able to connect a TON (The Open Network) wallet to claim their airdrop. Previously, Major enabled players to choose centralized exchanges OKX and Bitget, as well as Telegram's Wallet app, for their airdrop claims. The new option allows players to utilize self-custody TON wallets for greater flexibility.

Token Details and Platform Growth

Launching on TON, the MAJOR token will have a total supply of 100 million tokens. The game, which debuted earlier this year, has already seen participation from over 30 million players, according to its developers. Through the Telegram mini app, players earn stars by engaging in games, networking, and completing other activities on the platform.

The platform's success follows a wave of Telegram mini apps offering token airdrops, including Notcoin, Hamster Kombat, Catizen, and X Empire. These platforms have seen massive user engagement, although their respective tokens have seen declines from their all-time high prices.

Plans for Sustained Engagement

In a bid to sustain player interest and foster a thriving community post-token launch, Major’s developers announced the upcoming introduction of a gaming hub. Furthermore, players will be able to mint their in-game achievements as NFTs, which may impact their rankings in other games within the ecosystem.

Tribute to Pavel Durov

In recognition of Telegram's role, Major’s creators will be airdropping 1% of the token's total supply (equating to 1 million MAJOR tokens) to Pavel Durov, Telegram's co-founder and CEO. The developers credited Durov with creating an ecosystem that has allowed platforms like Major to flourish.
