40M-Player Telegram Game Tomarket Announces Token Launch Details

TLDR

• Tomarket launching TOMA token on TON blockchain this Halloween (Oct 31, 2024)
• Game offering Premium Medal for 1 TON/$5 that boosts airdrop allocation
• Only 200,000 Premium Medals available for purchase
• Premium Medal holders get 100% of tokens at launch vs partial allocation
• Game has reached over 40 million players, plans to add “Farming Pool” feature post-launch

Tomarket, the popular Telegram-based game with over 40 million players, is preparing for its token launch this Halloween with a new premium feature that promises to boost early adopters’ rewards.

The game’s developers announced on Monday that players can now purchase a Premium Medal, priced at either 1 TON or 250 Telegram stars, roughly equivalent to $5.

The Premium Medal system introduces several benefits for holders, with the primary feature being an enhanced multiplier for the upcoming TOMA token allocation.

Users who purchase the medal will receive their entire token allocation immediately upon launch, while non-premium users may face a vesting period for their tokens.

The development team has limited the Premium Medal supply to 200,000 units, creating a cap on the number of users who can access these enhanced benefits.

This scarcity model follows similar approaches seen in other successful token launches within the cryptocurrency gaming sector.

The token launch is scheduled for Thursday, October 31, 2024, at approximately 12 pm ET. According to a Tomarket representative, players can expect to receive their airdrop allocations within 24 hours of the token generation event.

The game’s structure revolves around earning in-game tomatoes, which function as points, and gold coins that help players advance through various levels. Players must achieve at least a Bronze level status to qualify for the upcoming token airdrop.

Premium Medal holders will gain additional advantages beyond the immediate token allocation. The development team has indicated that medal owners will receive bonus multipliers for future features and services, though specific details about these benefits remain under wraps.

The game’s earning mechanics include various activities such as farming tomatoes over three-hour periods, participating in a mini-game involving falling tomatoes, and completing tasks that direct players to YouTube videos and other Telegram communities.

Looking beyond the token launch, Tomarket’s developers have announced plans for a “Farming Pool” feature.

This new addition will enable TOMA token holders to access farming opportunities for new projects and earn rewards by referring friends to these initiatives.

The Premium Medal’s pricing structure offers two payment options: 1 TON or 250 Telegram stars. This dual-currency approach provides flexibility for users already invested in either ecosystem.

The development team has implemented a straightforward distribution system for the airdrop. Unlike some previous token launches in the space that involved complex vesting schedules, Tomarket’s Premium Medal offers a clear path to immediate token access.

For standard users who choose not to purchase the Premium Medal, the exact vesting schedule for their token allocations has not been revealed.

This approach bears some resemblance to other successful Telegram-based games, such as Hamster Kombat, which implemented a months-long vesting schedule for player rewards.

The Premium Medal interface within the game displays the available benefits clearly, though the exact multiplication factor for token allocations remains undisclosed. The development team has not yet responded to requests for clarification on the specific multiplier values.

Players can currently access these features through the Telegram mini app, where the game continues to operate as usual leading up to the token launch. The gaming mechanics remain unchanged, with players still able to earn tomatoes and gold coins through regular gameplay.

Daily engagement remains a key focus, with the game offering various combinations of activities that players can complete to maximize their potential token earnings before the October 31 launch date.
