Utility
Notcoin offers staking initiatives that reward participants by enhancing network security and transaction validation. Additionally, it utilizes an inflation control mechanism by burning a portion of tokens during transactions to manage supply and increase token scarcity.
Tokenomics
Notcoin's ecosystem is designed to be sustainable and community-focused, with a total supply capped at 102.7 billion NOT tokens. About 78% of the tokens are allocated to early miners and voucher holders, fostering a strong community presence. The token launch on The Open Network was initially set for April 20, 2024, coinciding with the Bitcoin halving event, but it was delayed to ensure a smooth rollout. The game introduced a 1,000:1 token conversion ratio from in-game coins to NOT tokens. The remaining 22% of tokens are reserved for new users, traders, and future developments, with several Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) conducted across multiple platforms. Notcoin also announced a token burn to reduce the circulating supply and introduced an incentive plan to reward users.
Partnerships
Pixelverse
Pixelverse has partnered with Notcoin to launch a $250,000 reward campaign aimed at NOT holders, promoting Web3 adoption. This collaboration includes staking missions and quests, with rewards targeting Gold and Platinum tier holders. The partnership builds on previous initiatives like a $7 million airdrop and collaborations with platforms like 1inch and Sign.
Musk Empire
Notcoin has teamed up with Musk Empire, a tap-to-earn game on Telegram, to offer benefits for users, especially those with higher status in the game. This partnership includes special missions and rewards, with an airdrop equivalent to 2% of Musk Empire’s project coins for completing specific tasks. The collaboration aims to enhance user interaction and expand the Notcoin community within Musk Empire.
Accelerator initiatives and ecosystem expansion
Notcoin has launched several accelerator programs to support the development of applications on The Open Network and within the Telegram platform. The "Triangle Accelerator," in collaboration with 1inch and Sign, assists developers focusing on TON infrastructure, decentralized finance, and consumer applications. The "Telegram Gaming Accelerator," in partnership with Helika, targets the development of Telegram-based mini-apps. Applications for the Triangle Accelerator concluded with a mentorship program, offering participants a chance to present their projects to investors.
Lost Dogs and Getgems collaboration
Notcoin has collaborated with the Lost Dogs NFT collection and the Getgems marketplace to create a story-driven game within its ecosystem. "Lost Dogs" features characters based on Lost Dogs NFTs and offers an immersive experience where players make daily decisions that impact the storyline. Participants can earn Notcoin (NOT) tokens and a new in-game currency called WOOF, which may evolve into a blockchain-based token.
