You tapped your way to a wallet full of Notcoin, DOGS, Hamster Kombat, Memefi, Catizen, Major, Goats… which did I miss?
You’ve probably played endless Telegram games — from a tiny hamster showing you onboarding tutorials, to feeding cats in Catizen, or throwing Durov’s hat for points. Some of those taps turned into real crypto in wallets. For others, it was just fun — not funds.
Whatever your experience, you’re here now — onboarded into Web3. Notcoin alone brought in over 35 million players, and Hamster Kombat surpassed 200 million by June 2024. That’s a whole country clicking away!
But what’s next after tap-to-earn?
Web3 is way more than the tap-tap rave. It’s a decentralized playground where you can swap tokens, earn passive income, collect NFTs, collaborate, build, and more.
Swap Tokens on a DEX
Your tap-to-earn tokens (like $10 of CATI or DOGS) are your ticket to Web3’s trading floor. You can use a decentralized exchange (DEX) to trade them without needing a bank or third party.
Since most tap-to-earn tokens run on the TON blockchain, use a TON-compatible DEX like:
- STON.fi
- DeDust.io
- Megaton Finance
- TonSwap
- Ton Whale
Before using any DEX, check for transparency, active users, audits, and platform reputation.
Set Up a Wallet
A wallet is like your Web3 passport. This is where you store your tokens and connect to other apps.
TON wallets you can try:
- TON Keeper
- MyTon Wallet
- PocketFi
Multi-chain wallets like Trust Wallet and MetaMask also work. Always use official apps and never share your recovery phrase.
How to Swap
1. Go to STON.fi or another TON DEX.
2. Connect your wallet.
3. Select your token (like DOGS or CATI).
4. Choose what you want to swap to — like TON or USDT.
Tip: Keep a little TON in your wallet to cover gas fees.
Stake for Passive Income
Staking is like planting a seed. You lock your tokens and earn more over time.
Some TON staking platforms:
- Ton Whales
- Hipo Finance
- Ton Stakers
Start small. Watch your rewards grow. Reinvest to earn even more.
Collect NFTs
Tap-to-earn games like Hamster Kombat and DOGS are already using NFTs. NFTs are like collectibles with value.
You can buy and sell them on platforms like:
- OpenSea.io
- MagicEden.io
Only buy what you like and can afford. Start with $5–$20 items if you're new.
