## Q1. What inspired the creation of WatBird, and how does it fit into the broader vision of GAMEE and Web3 gaming?
WatBird was inspired by our desire to make <a href="/uk/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Web3</a> accessible and fun for everyday gamers. At GAMEE, we saw an opportunity to introduce millions of casual players to <a href="/uk/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Web3</a> through a seamless and engaging experience. We wanted to create something that wasn’t just another game, but an entire ecosystem where users can have fun and earn rewards, all while interacting with decentralized technologies without the complexity that usually comes with it. WatBird blends viral, meme-driven gaming with rewards, allowing players to explore Web3 in a natural and enjoyable way. Our vision is to bring casual gamers on a journey into Web3, making the transition effortless and rewarding.

## Q2. Can you explain what WatCoin ($WAT) is and its role within the WatBird Universe? How does it support your mission to onboard users into Web3?
WatCoin, or $WAT, is the native token of the WatBird Universe, and it plays a central role in our mission to bring more users into Web3. It’s a community-first token designed to engage and reward our players. By holding $WAT, users can access exclusive rewards, events, and collaborations within the ecosystem, all while enjoying fun, casual games. We’ve built a vibrant economy around $WAT, where users can earn, stake, and use the token within the game for in-game purchases, collectibles, and more. The goal is to create a fun, viral ecosystem that naturally introduces users to the world of decentralized systems through gaming.

## Q3. Why did you choose to build WatBird on the TON blockchain, and what makes it the right fit for your goals?
We chose the TON blockchain because of its perfect alignment with our mission to make Web3 accessible to the masses. TON, backed by Telegram, has a vision to 'put crypto in every pocket,' which fits seamlessly with what we’re doing at WatBird. The platform offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy for anyone to get started, which is crucial for onboarding everyday users into Web3. Since GAMEE has been building games on Telegram since 2016, we already have a massive and engaged user base on the platform, so it was a natural step for us to use TON to power WatBird. This decision allows us to keep the user experience smooth and intuitive, helping more people get involved in Web3 without any technical barriers.

## Q4. How does WatBird differentiate itself from other tap-to-earn games, and what are your plans for expanding the WatBird ecosystem in the future?
WatBird stands out because it merges casual, viral gameplay with meme-driven content, leveraging the massive user base of Telegram. Unlike other tap-to-earn games, we focus on creating a fun, simple experience that engages users right away, but also offers deep rewards through $WAT. Our platform is about more than just gaming—it’s about building a meme-powered brand that bridges Web3 and mainstream entertainment. In terms of expansion, we’re launching the MoonClub staking program soon, allowing users to stake their $WAT for even more rewards. We’re also working on new game releases and exclusive content drops through partnerships, which will keep expanding the WatBird Universe. Our goal is to onboard over 100 million users to $WAT and continue building an ecosystem that’s engaging, accessible, and rewarding.

## Q5. How does WatBird engage its community, and what opportunities are available for users who want to participate in the platform or learn more?
Our community is the heart of WatBird, and we’ve designed the entire platform to foster engagement and participation. Telegram plays a key role in this, as it’s where millions of users come daily to play our games and earn rewards. Through our games and rewards system, users are constantly engaged with the platform, earning $WAT and participating in events. For those who want to get involved, it’s easy—just start playing WatBird on Telegram, stake $WAT, or join the community to stay updated on upcoming events and exclusive rewards. We also provide resources on our website and through Telegram to help users learn more about Web3 gaming and how to get started with WatBird. There’s always something exciting happening in the WatBird Universe, and we welcome everyone to be a part of it!
