Pixelverse Transports Solana's Mew to Telegram
The Web3 gaming ecosystem Pixelverse has made a bold move by bringing one of Solana's most beloved memes to Telegram. With the blessing of Mew's creators, the introduction of this iconic Solana character to TON marks a significant milestone.
Mew, the face of the eponymous Solana catcoin, will now grace Telegram-based mini-games, a signature feature of Pixelverse. This cross-chain collaboration showcases Solana's influence in creating enduring meme characters while introducing a familiar face to TON.
Mew Meets Doge
The integration with Pixelverse does not involve the migration of the Mew token, but rather the transfer of its intellectual property. The intrepid feline will be reborn in Pixelverse's mini-games, joining recognizable figures like Doge of Dogecoin fame.
Pixelverse has found success with its mini-games, which have become a phenomenon. Over 50 million users engaged with Pixelverse within a month of its launch on Telegram, leveraging the social platform's vast crypto user base.
The appeal of Pixelverse's games has also attracted venture capital attention. Recently, the web3 entertainment studio secured a $5.5M seed round led by Delphi Ventures and Merit Circle, both ardent supporters of web3 gaming.
TON's Rise
Telegram Open Network (TON) has witnessed a surge in activity, with active wallet addresses skyrocketing since April. Telegram's introduction of ad revenue sharing in TON has attracted creators and influencers to the ecosystem. April was particularly significant for TON, as USDT launched on its network, making the stablecoin accessible to millions of new users.
TON is now demonstrating the potential of social networks like X and Meta had they embraced crypto and blockchain more wholeheartedly. While Meta's stablecoin launch was stifled by regulators and Elon Musk's crypto enthusiasm has waned, Telegram has seamlessly integrated TON into its messenger app, making it the predominant communication platform for the crypto community.
Tap-to-Earn
The rise of Tap-to-Earn games has also contributed to TON's success. Pixelverse and Notcoin have been pioneers in this field, rewarding users for completing tasks to encourage active engagement with their apps and games.
With Mew now poised to make its Telegram debut, TON and Pixelverse's momentum shows no sign of slowing down. If the integration proves successful, expect to see more meme characters gracing Telegram mini-games in the future.
