Open Builders has announced plans to launch Not Games this March. The team behind Notcoin, Lost Dogs and Not Pixel aims to revitalize the struggling NOT token ecosystem.
The new platform will allow players to earn tokens for free. This announcement comes as interest in Telegram-based mini-games has plummeted.
Data shows TON's user base has fallen to its lowest level in a year.
"Instead of fragmented tokenomics, Not Games will integrate NOT as the primary currency for purchases, upgrades, and rewards across all games," Notcoin representatives told BeInCrypto. "Every three weeks, the most skilled players will compete for rewards in NOT, ensuring a play-to-win experience, rather than a pay-to-win model."
Open Builders clarified in a press release that Not Games isn't a standalone Telegram game. It's an interconnected gaming ecosystem linking multiple titles together.
The platform will introduce Game Profiles and shared inventories. It will also feature an in-game marketplace where players can trade with each other. This system aims to transform the NOT token from a simple tap-to-earn reward into a valuable asset within the gaming economy.
Open Builders has already launched a game called VOID. At least five more games are currently in development.
Notcoin gained massive popularity in early 2024. The tap-to-earn trend drove growth alongside projects like Hamster Kombat, Yescoin, TapSwap and Blum. Notcoin attracted 35 million players within the first six months of 2024.
Google Trends data shows interest in Notcoin has sharply declined. It has nearly disappeared by early 2025.
Tgstat reports the Notcoin Community's Telegram membership has dropped by nearly 2 million members since January. NOT's price only surged briefly after its mid-February listing on Kraken. It soon continued its downward trend, hitting new lows in 2025.
Data from Artemis reveals daily active addresses on The Open Network have plummeted. Numbers fell from 2.4 million in October 2024 to just 130,000 currently. This declining user base presents a significant challenge for Notcoin's ecosystem-building efforts.
