##  [TL；DR]
As a Click to Earn project in the TON ecosystem, the Notcoin community has accumulated nearly 35.2 million users on Telegram, becoming the fourth-ranked channel in data.

In addition to Notcoin, other outstanding MEME projects on the TON chain include Gramcoin (GRAM), Catizen, TON FISH (Fish), etc.

One meaningful way to break through the public chain ecosystem is to increase the value of high-traffic MEME coins. In the future, TON will also unlock more popular gameplay with many users and technological innovations.

## Introduction
As major exchanges gradually launch the popular MEME game Notcoin (NOT), a new hype about the TON public chain ecosystem has begun. This article will explore TON's ecosystem development and investment opportunities with Notcoin's viral fever.
 
## Notcoin that cannot be stopped by "brainless clicks"
As a Click to Earn project in the TON ecosystem, Notcoin has quickly gained high popularity among crypto enthusiasts since its official launch on January 1, 2024.

This game is directly embedded through the Telegram chat platform, and players only need to tap the Notcoin avatar symbol on the screen to earn coins.

Its simple gameplay, coupled with the widespread distribution of gifts, quickly made Notcoin popular. According to public data, as of the date of writing, the Notcoin community has accumulated nearly 35.2 million users on Telegram, with 5 million active users participating daily, making it the fourth-ranked channel in terms of data on Telegram.

The success of this game lies not only in its simple operation but also in its clever strategic design - players need to consume energy while clicking to earn coins, and energy will recover over time, avoiding endless internal competition.

In addition, players can also add more fun through various activities, such as joining specific Telegram groups or channels, inviting friends with recommended links, helping friends upgrade and earn NOT tokens in the game, converting NOT tokens into NFT vouchers for over-the-counter transactions, and so on.

However, just as the game was gaining momentum, the Notcoin team announced on April 1, 2024, that they would cease token mining activities, which attracted widespread attention.

With the recent launch of NOT tokens on various exchanges, including Gate.io, Notcoin's popularity has again risen.

In fact, in the days before the release of NOT on the TON blockchain, the total locked value (TVL) of the entire network experienced a significant upward trend.

Overall, Notcoin stands out in the TON ecosystem due to its simplicity, ease of use, innovative and interesting features, as well as Ton's official support. With further innovation optimization and improvement of social economy mechanisms, Notcoin has undoubtedly become a viral MEME that helps the TON ecosystem breakthrough.
 
## Fun MEME games help TON's ecosystem go viral
If we carefully examine this year's crypto market, it is not difficult to find that many public chain ecosystems are starting to shift their thinking, relying on the popular MEME to open up their path to ecosystem prosperity, and TON ecosystem is one of the leaders.

In addition to the current popular Crispy fried chicken, Notcoin, Gramcoin (GRAM), Catizen, TON FISH (Fish), etc., also performed well.
 
## Gramcoin (GRAM)
Gramcoin (GRAM) is the first POW MEME coin on the TON chain. It utilizes a smart contract called Givers to allocate computing tasks and allows users to mine through video cards. This strategy does not require expensive ASIC hardware and is similar to the <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> protocol but more inclusive, enabling ordinary video card holders to participate and promoting fair token distribution.

Since its launch in January this year, GRAM's valuation has surged 28,000 times, and its user base has rapidly expanded to over 30,000 people. Market rumors suggest GRAM may be listed on major exchanges, sparking community expectations and enthusiasm.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a deep cooperation between GRAM and NOT. The NOT creators hold GRAM tokens and a series of competitions, using GRAM tokens as prizes to reward the winners. This collaboration not only demonstrates a strong community awareness between the supporters of the two projects but also reflects their shared goals and vision.

## Catizen
Catizen is a cat-themed game based on the TON ecosystem, which innovatively integrates metaverse, GameFi, and AI technology. It introduces a unique play-to-air drop mode, allowing players to enjoy the game while receiving future airdrop rewards.

As a leading project in the Gamefi Bot field of the TON ecosystem, the Catizen team has signed contracts with 18 popular WeChat mini-games and is preparing to gradually launch new content on gaming platforms based on their rich experience in chain modification and TON ecosystem deployment.

As of the writing date, Catizen has attracted nearly 6 million gamers, including 585k daily active users and 6.4 million on chain users, while completing 7.6 million on chain transactions.

Catizen's future development will not be limited to its existing Gaming Bot positioning but will move towards the third stage of the game Launchpool, providing more value for all loyal players and governance token holders.
 
## TON FISH（FISH）
TON FISH (FISH) is the first MEME on the TON blockchain, designed with its relaxed and entertaining community engagement spirit.

This coin not only encourages user participation through exchange and community activities but also adds tangible value to the ecosystem by introducing two unique NFT collections - TON ROCK COLLectiON and TON FISH BOX COLLectiON. These NFTs not only represent unique and collectible assets but also provide opportunities for early contributors to participate in platform upgrade systems.
 
## Boosted by traffic and ecosystem diversity, TON is racing all the way
TON is developing a plan to support MEME and enrich the ecosystem landscape. The feature of fee-free transactions in the 2024 development roadmap is undoubtedly a key means to unlock huge traffic.

According to TON's official website, the ecosystem currently includes 602 application projects, covering multiple fields such as DEX, Stacking, Lending, Wallet, Browser, Bridge Services, NFT Collectibles, etc. These projects not only enrich the diversity of the TON ecosystem but also provide broad space for the circulation and application of TON tokens.

In addition, the TON Foundation actively promotes ecosystem development in fields such as MEME. In the past six months, the number of TON ecosystem projects has increased by about 10%.

The on-chain data further confirms TON's growth trend. The total lock-in value (TVL) on the TON chain reached a historic high after the price of TON skyrocketed, with approximately 30 million TONs valued at roughly $200 million. Meanwhile, TON's weekly and monthly active users have reached historic highs, demonstrating a strong interest and enthusiasm among users for the TON ecosystem.

It is obvious that the symbiotic relationship between TON and Telegram, as well as Telegram's vast user base and rich mini-program ecosystem, has shown enormous development potential. With the gradual adoption of the TON ecosystem by Telegram users and the launch of more new features in the future, TON is expected to attract more users and developers to join its ecosystem.

There is never a lack of narrative mining in cryptocurrency, and the TON ecosystem relies on Telegram's huge user base, radiating a large number of non-coin circle users. Notcoin uses simple and rough gameplay to obtain much user traffic on the TON chain, allowing the TON project team to see a convenient path to the front.

In the short term, increasing the value of high-traffic MEME coins will be one important way to break through the public chain ecosystem. In the future, TON will also unlock more breaking gameplay with many users and technological innovations, bringing more opportunities and value to participants.
