Helika reported a rise in NFT engagement and longer player sessions in Telegram’s gaming ecosystem in Q3 2024.
According to the research, the number of unique wallets exchanging NFTs throughout the quarter increased from 200,000 to over 1 million, with 600,000 wallets actively engaged in NFT transactions within games.
Additionally, players play Telegram games for longer. Average session durations almost doubled from 2.8 to 6.7 minutes, indicating that better game design keeps players interested.
Regional data shows that, in contrast to other Web3 platforms, Telegram’s gaming audience is shifting, with 55.91% of players originating from Europe as opposed to Asia and Latin America, where Web3 gaming has historically flourished.Â
Increased Engagement on Telegram Games
The article states that Catizen finished its first round of airdrops, allocating 34% of its total token allotment—150 million tokens were issued in September 2024 alone. As a result of its integration into Telegram, the airdrop increased activity.
Users can farm Catizen’s native token before it is traded, thanks to Binance’s September listing of the gaming bot on the Binance Launchpool.
Gamee had a 300% growth in volume and transactions month over month, similar to Catizen, indicating a higher player base and higher level of engagement.
Of the 48 million players that joined X Empire, 18 million linked their wallets in order to interact with the game’s features.
As per the claim, Banana had 10 million users by October, and Rocky Rabbit had 30 million players. In its first week, Wonton had more than a million users.
However, the report also emphasized the difficulties creators face as a result of the deluge of new games on the platform. User acquisition and restricted marketing resources are challenges for small development teams.
Telegram’s gaming environment is growing beyond basic, casual games as developers add a greater range of experiences, including simulations, role-playing games, and puzzles.
