Telegram game and engagement platform Major is set to launch its token and kick off the distribution of MAJOR tokens to players on Thursday, coinciding with the Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States. Eligible players can now claim their tokens through on-chain claims.
Players who meet the criteria to be eligible for the MAJOR token, which will be launched on The Open Network (TON), can now connect a TON wallet in preparation for the token generation event scheduled for 12pm UTC on Thursday. Previously, Major allowed players to choose a centralized exchange to claim their tokens, such as OKX and Bitget, or opt to receive the airdrop directly to their Wallet app on Telegram. The latest option now includes the ability to claim tokens through additional self-custody TON wallets. The total supply of MAJOR tokens is set at 100 million.
Having garnered over 30 million players since its launch earlier this year, the game has become a popular choice among users. The Telegram mini app offers players the opportunity to earn stars by playing games, networking, and completing various engagement tasks.
Major joins the ranks of other successful Telegram mini apps that have attracted a large player base with the promise of token airdrops, including Notcoin, Hamster Kombat, Catizen, and X Empire. While these games have amassed millions of players, the tokens associated with them have experienced significant drops from their peak prices.
The developers of Major have revealed their plans to sustain the mini app and its community post-token distribution. This includes launching a gaming hub and introducing the ability for players to mint in-game achievements as NFTs, which can impact their rankings in other games.
Furthermore, Major’s creators intend to airdrop 1% of the total token supply – equivalent to 1 million MAJOR tokens – to Pavel Durov, the co-founder and CEO of Telegram, in recognition of his role in building the ecosystem. This gesture is a testament to Durov’s contribution to the success of Telegram and its associated applications.
As Major gears up for its token launch and airdrop, players can look forward to exciting developments within the game and its community. Stay tuned for more updates on Major’s token distribution and future plans.
