Tomarket, a popular Telegram game that can be played as a mini-app on the messaging platform, is abandoning its original plan to launch its token on The Open Network (TON) and will instead stake TOMA on rival Tier 1 network Aptos.
With a total of 50 million users and 6 million daily active users, Tomarket will launch its TOMA token on December 20, with an airdrop for players who meet certain criteria within the game.
Tomarket distributed allocations of tokens across multiple airdrop waves, but players were unable to withdraw or trade the token. The app’s developers previously said that the TOMA token had been generated, but subsequently clarified that the term was used to describe token allocations within the app. And now Tomarket will ultimately not be deployed at TON.
“Aptos’ high speed and reliable infrastructure provides the scalability Tomarket needs to support its growing user base while delivering smooth, efficient blockchain experiences,” a Tomarket core team member who goes by Miles told us. Declutter.
After next week’s token launch, Tomarket plans to expand its offering, including introducing more games, improving the FarmingPool rewards program and launching an aggregator of decentralized exchanges, or DEXs.
Most Telegram-based crypto games, including heavyweights like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin, have chosen to deploy on TON, boosting the chain’s adoption this year. TON is now the 16th most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap, according to data from CoinGecko, and has risen in price by about 190% over the past year.
However, Tomarket isn’t the first game to take an alternative path: tap-to-ear combat game MemeFi recently launched its token on Sui, after moving from the native chain of Ethereum Layer-2 network Linea.
