PiP World , an educational crypto gaming startup, is launching its first
Telegram game Gold Rush in beta on Wednesday. The move comes amid the
explosion of Telegram gaming, with leading game Hamster Kombat reportedly
amassing over 300 million users alongside other games that have drawn in
crowds tempted by a token airdrop.
Gold Rush , however, takes the viral tap-to-earn genre driving the Telegram
craze and adds an educational spin. Players will be asked to tap their screens
over and over, earning in-game coins as they upgrade their trading office—and
rising from intern to hedge fund owner.
This is very similar to other Telegram games that incentivize tapping in-game,
dangling a future token airdrop in front of players. Such rewards are normally
allocated to users according to a variety of parameters, but that’s where the
gaming startup’s educational ethos comes in. Screenshots from Gold Rush.

In what is being billed as a “skill-based” airdrop, in-game coins will be used
for an in-browser trading simulator. Players will wager virtual currency• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта

really, though; it’s purely a simulation—with a global leaderboard influencing

PiP World aims to educate people about trading and crypto through gaming
experiences. In August, the startup acquired a Roblox stock-trading game
called StockRise with the aim of educating a younger audience in the hopes
that they’d dive deeper into the PiP World ecosystem. Now the company is
creating a Telegram game to expand its educational empire.
The project has yet to confirm when its PiPS token generation event (TGE) will
take place, but PiP World expects that the airdrop will occur in “early
October.” PiP World has not decided which chain the token will be minted on,
however.
“We're currently exploring multiple blockchain options and engaging in
discussions for potential grants and collaborations,” Saad Naja, PiP World’s
CEO, told Decrypt . “We’re committed to selecting a chain that aligns best
with our mission and community need.” Upgrade your office to improve your

Most Telegram games have opted to launch their tokens on The Open Network
(TON), a network aligned with Telegram itself, with Notcoin being the most
successful example. Launched in May, Notcoin’s NOT token skyrocketed to a peak
market cap of $2.97 billion in the biggest crypto gaming token launch of the
year.

That said, Hamster Kombat’s airdrop is scheduled for September 26 , with many
players hoping it could be the largest airdrop in history . And other notable
Telegram games, like Catizen and Rocky Rabbit, will launch their own tokens in
the coming days as well.
But players of Gold Rush won’t have to rely on a future airdrop if they’re
eager to make some cash. Shortly after the initial beta launch, the game will
add a "FlashDrop" feature, which sees players race to complete daily tasks to
receive a reward in USDT or TON from a prize pool over $100,000.
