Notcoin (NOT), the pioneer of Telegram clicker games, started with a simple premise: press a button, earn in-game currency. This concept led to a $1 billion token airdrop. But now, Notcoin is shifting gears, and its pseudonymous founder, Sasha, believes this transition is crucial.
Sasha told local media,
“I do not expect it will last forever. I do not expect it will have any sustainability. From my perspective, only the games that have sustainable models will survive.”
Sasha pointed to games with sustainable models as the future. He mentioned Catizen, noting that over half of its users are paying customers and that it has generated millions in revenue.
Notcoin’s Future Endeavours
As for Notcoin, Sasha plans to move away from the clicker narrative. Over the next four years, he envisions the project becoming independent of its team by developing sustainable and efficient subsystems.
One of these subsystems focuses on campaigns within the Notcoin app. These campaigns allow users to earn NOT by engaging with new Telegram games. This strategy aims to position the token as a hub for launching other ecosystem projects, boosting demand for NOT, and burning tokens in the process. Sasha anticipates up to 100 of these campaigns per week.
He said,
“It’s like farming, but not for providing liquidity, but providing your time and attention. This model allows us to be sustainable because we don’t have to print new Notcoins.”
Yet, this is only one of several potential subsystems. Sasha envisions others, such as contests, methods to incentivize contributors, game platforms, or even a decentralized university based on AI content open to everyone.
He said,
“We experiment with this. Some models will die, some will evolve and become successful, and so on.”
Sasha’s vision reflects a broader trend in the gaming industry: the need for sustainable models. As the founder of Notcoin, he is leading by example, pushing the boundaries and experimenting with new ideas. The future of Notcoin lies in its ability to adapt and innovate, ensuring its longevity in the ever-changing digital landscape.
