Bitget Wallet, the leading global Web3 wallet with 30 million users, has announced the final results of the TONNECT 2024 Awards. This inaugural event honored the most creative and influential projects within The Open Network (TON) ecosystem. It recognized the most prominent projects on the TON blockchain that shook up the cryptocurrency and Web3 markets this year. Held as part of the broader TONNECT 2024 campaign, the event attracted over 190,000 participants who voted for their favorite projects across a variety of new use cases.
The TONNECT 2024 Awards are designed to recognize and reward excellence across four core categories: Gaming, DeFi, Social, and NFT Applications. Winners in this cohort will receive a dedicated prize pool of $1M in interaction rewards that will be distributed to winners in various forms, including TON, GASU, and BWB tokens during the event.
“The TONNECT Awards showcases the power of community-driven innovation within the TON ecosystem,” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. “We are proud to support these projects and contribute to their growth by providing a platform for users to engage and benefit from the best that TON has to offer.”
Tonnect 2024 Most Popular Gaming Applications Award Winners: Catizen, Notcoin, Yescoin, Hamster Kombat, DogsHouse, Yescoin, TapSwap, TG Frog, TapCoins and Pixelverse.
To kick off the Most Popular Gaming Applications Awards, we present the top 10 games that have contributed significantly to growth and user engagement within the TON ecosystem, particularly through their innovative “tap to earn” model. Notcoin is leading the pack with over 35 million users and has established the Triangle initiative, a community builder and accelerator program. Following its success, games like Hamster Kombat with 250 million users and TapSwap with 60 million users have further expanded the ecosystem by mixing compelling gameplay with TON’s cryptocurrency elements.
Each game offers a unique experience, from Catizen’s charming pet simulation and DogsHouse’s virtual dog community to Yescoin’s (Yellow and White) community-driven challenges and cooperative gameplay. TG Frog and TapCoins attract casual gamers with simple mechanics, while Pixelverse offers an immersive, pixelated universe for creativity and exploration. These games have fostered dedicated communities by tapping into the potential of blockchain-based games on TON.
In the most popular DeFi application categories, the following projects have expanded passive income opportunities in the TON ecosystem and expanded its utility beyond Telegram-based games. Tomarket, backed by Bitget Wallet, has attracted over 5 million new users with its Play-to-Earn Telegram Drop Game, and has become a popular choice for decentralized trading due to its ease of use and reliable transaction processing. STON.fi operates as a decentralized exchange using an automated market maker (AMM) model, allowing users to trade, farm, and stake TON-based tokens without intermediaries, increasing transaction efficiency.
TONStakers provides a simple staking platform that allows users to earn passive income by staking TON tokens, recognized for its user-friendly interface and stable performance. DeDust, a multi-chain decentralized exchange, supports cross-chain trading with low fees, making it a preferred option for users looking to trade across multiple blockchain networks within the TON ecosystem. Finally, Eva Protocol focuses on sustainable DeFi solutions, providing yield farming and staking opportunities that promote long-term financial stability and growth on the TON blockchain.
Among the most popular social apps, MemeFi is a Web3 game that combines elements of meme culture and GameFi. Built on a multi-token economy, it gives players the opportunity to earn rewards through gameplay using both meme-themed tokens and NFT items.
Finally, the Most Popular NFT App award went to GetGems, an NFT marketplace built on TON that allows users to easily buy, sell, mint, and manage NFTs. The app has become a central hub for NFT activity within the TON ecosystem.
With such a large participation, TONNECT 2024 demonstrated the growing community interest in the TON ecosystem. Rewards from the prize pool were distributed to the winning projects.
Going forward, the TONNECT 2024 campaign will continue to provide exciting opportunities for the community. With a dedicated prize pool of $1 million in interaction rewards, users will still have the opportunity to participate in TON and Telegram ecosystem apps and win prizes. Bitget Wallet also offers an interaction experience with no gas fees, making it easier for users to participate in the TON platform and explore creative projects.
As the campaign progresses, Bitget Wallet continues to focus on supporting the TON community. Ongoing activities, including AMAs, educational campaigns, and ongoing community engagement, are all part of a broader effort to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3.
