Notcoin, a leading Web3 gaming project in 2024, declared the tap-to-earn genre as “probably dead” due to lack of player interest, according to co-founder Vladimir Plotvinov. The focus now shifts to more engaging game genres at Token2049 in Dubai.

Notcoin garnered over 30 million users in three months on Telegram, credited to solving the onboarding issue for crypto newcomers.

While facing challenges with major publishers and funding, Salo anticipates exponential growth by focusing on creating fun and engaging gaming experiences beyond earning tokens.
