After a cryptic teaser reminiscent of a glitch earlier today, Notcoin has officially announced the termination of its “mining phase” in the game, effective April 1. However, this unexpected occurrence has left more questions than answers: Will April 1 mark the long-awaited airdrop for Notcoin players? Or is the Notcoin team teasing an elaborate April Fools’ prank aimed at its massive player base of over 30 million users?
Notcoin, a wildly popular clicker game on Telegram, has engaged millions of players in tapping a coin graphic on their phone screens to earn in-game currency. Initially, it remained uncertain whether these in-game coins would translate into a real cryptocurrency. However, the team has recently confirmed that an airdrop is indeed imminent, facilitated through The Open Network (TON).
Players logging into Notcoin on Monday were greeted with a peculiar glitch-like graphic displaying the message “7 days” before vanishing abruptly.
Furthermore, the Notcoin team shared a post in the game’s community channel featuring a clip from “Avengers Endgame,” revisiting a scene from “Guardians of the Galaxy,” along with a note indicating, “The mining phase ends on April 1.” The post goes on to express gratitude to members of the Notcoin community, in the game’s signature cryptic style, for their involvement in the journey thus far.
“The team may have constructed the app, but it’s you who’ve discerned something,” the message conveys. “Something beyond conventional expectations. It may seem absurd, yet it resonates with logic. That understanding is yours. It belongs to all of you. Myself and all the contributors extend our gratitude for each day and night spent crafting it for you, alongside you.”
While the messaging has not provided clarity regarding the token’s launch date, a representative from Notcoin confirmed to Decrypt’s GG that the airdrop will take place within the next two weeks. Despite the imminent conclusion of the mining phase, the game’s journey is far from over. Further details regarding the next stage of Notcoin will be disclosed once the mining phase concludes.
