👏 The pengu app has launched!

For now, the only available feature is upgrading your chest by inviting friends — whatever that actually means. My guess is that the rarity of your chest might affect your starting team or the perks you get.

You already know how to get referrals to any app, including Pengu — via Starfall. Just create a task with your reflink. The queue is already very big for Pengu. If you want to get refs faster — load more clicks in your task.

🙆 Launch Pengu Clash 🙆

💰 TinyVerse increased the maximum stardust mining time!

You can now mine stardust for up to 6 hours nonstop. But there’s a catch 🍿

You can’t just upgrade the mining time — it increases automatically based on this formula:

month = (date - profile.date) / 30)
stars = profile.stars / 50000
MIN(month, stars, 5) + 1

MIN means the smallest of the three values: month, stars, and 5.

So the longer you’ve been playing and the more star you’ve collected, the longer your mining session lasts.

How long can you mine now? I’m at just over two hours 🍷

🥚 Telegram’s Official Gift Marketplace

Yesterday, Telegram quietly rolled out the ability to list gifts for sale directly from your profile. I missed the update at first — the option isn’t available on desktop yet, and on mobile it’s tucked away in a spot you’d never accidentally stumble upon.

How to list a gift for sale:
Go to your profile → Tap on the gift → Sell → Set your price.

How to buy a listed gift:
The same way you usually send gifts: Settings → Send a Gift → Choose a recipient.
Now there’s a new Resale tab with handy filters (like on Fragment).

All sales are made for stars. Keep in mind: you only get 80% of the listed price. Sale notifications come from Telegram itself, stars land in your balance instantly, and your history logs the buyer and transaction ID.

Pros:
- Super convenient — no need to send anything manually, just list straight from your profile
- A gift can be both pinned in your profile and listed for sale at the same time

Cons:
- 20% commission
- Personally, I’m not a fan of star-based trades, and with a 20% cut, I definitely won’t be selling here

It’s actually more convenient for buyers, and pricing is similar to other platforms. For example, the floor price for the Silver Easter Egg is the same as on Tonnel. There are fewer listings for now, but I expect that’ll change soon.

I’ll likely use both the TG marketplace and options from this guide [click] for buying. But for selling? Still sticking with Tonnel.

😈 Trouble on Telegram's new marketplace came from where no one expected

Remember a month ago I wrote about mass refunds? 🔜 POST

It seemed reasonable to expect that Telegram’s built-in marketplace would protect users from things like that. But turns out, there are already cases where a refund happens, and the buyer ends up with no stars and no gift. And there are even reports of purchases going through at three times the listed price due to a Telegram glitch.

So yeah, right now it’s all pretty raw, and clunky. Personally, I won’t be buying anything there yet, let alone selling with a 20% fee.

Also, telegram released an update for desktops, so now you can access TG Marketplace from PC version too 👀

Fun fact: Tonnel has already integrated this marketplace. There’s a separate filter where you can select TG Marketplace and buy gifts with TON instead of stars.
But I won’t be using that either — for now. Let Telegram fix their stuff first...

🪙 Blum is shutting down the Drop game

You’ve got less than three days left to use your tickets.

Until May 13, the Drop game gives double points, then it’ll be closed and all remaining tickets will be burned.

As for me — no way I’m clicking through all those tickets. That activity is way too boring. My mood after just one round is perfectly summed up by that video — not even considering grinding through the whole pile.

How about you? Used your tickets already? 😢

But they did share a link to an approved third-party platform with the following message:

The first approved 3rd party market is @palacenftbot . Their team worked closely with us and integrated our API for a safe and compliant userflow.

The bot features a solid referral system — you earn a cut of your referrals’ trading fees and 30 points per invited user, which can be exchanged for sticker raffle tickets.
Additionally, you can earn up to 1,100 extra points through task-based invites.

🏰 Launch PalaceNFT 🏰

The app still has a small user base (under 30K MAU), so conversion to referrals through Starfall should be high — at least for now.

🛒 MRKT sets official launch date and time

Launching on May 13 at 13:00 UTC — the countdown is already live inside the app.

This is another Telegram gift marketplace. @mrkt has been running an aggressive marketing campaign.

Personally, I’m curious to see how much market share they’ll be able to carve out and whether their product will actually compete. A big chunk of their promo strategy involved throwing shade at Tonnel. which kind of sets the bar high — as if they’ll be offering something miles ahead from day one. I have my doubts, but let’s see 🍷

Speaking of Tonnel, there's definitely a piece of the pie to go after — yesterday alone, over 82% of all gift trades happened there, with another ~9% split between Getgems and Fragment.

Also worth noting: MRKT promises a reward for connecting your wallet as an early user.

🪙 Not Pixel testing Season 2

The team has shared some details about how the tournament prize pool will be distributed — and it’ll grow based on players activity. To kick things off, they’ve seeded the pool with 1,000,000 PX (~$78,400 at current rates).

Here are the categories where the most active players will split the rewards:
- Top Squads – by total pixels owned
- First Pixel Degens – top First Pixel buyers (for 1 PX)
- Pixel Hoarders – top holders by total pixels owned
- Final Pixel Snipers – top by last-minute buys
- Top Pixel Flex – whoever owns the most expensive Pixel

Curious to see how exactly the prize pool scaling will work — so far, the prize pool looks a bit underwhelming. What’s your take?

🛒 MRKT has launched

Well, technically it launched 50 minutes ago, but for me it's been barely functioning. Buttons respond inconsistently, subscriptions in giveaways don’t register, and the verification button is often unclickable.
Still, some trading activity is happening — the profile @mrktbank already holds over 62,000 gifts. For comparison, Tonnel’s @giftrelayer as over 225,000 gifts.

By the way, I still haven’t figured out what exactly the wallet connection reward is. Maybe a lower trading fee? I’m seeing 8% on my end — what about you?

🗼 Stickers Giveaway on PalaceNFT

A few days ago, I wrote about the first approved third-party sticker marketplace.

Right now, they’re running a giveaway with 25 sticker packs up for grabs:
♥ 5 Pengu Valentines packs — floor 19.7 TON ($64.37)
🐶 20 DOGS OG King packs — floor 3.45 TON ($11.57)

One giveaway ticket costs 50 points.You can earn points by completing tasks and inviting friends.

If you invite 50 friends, you’ll get 2,600 points (1,100 from tasks), which gives you 52 tickets.

There are 100,000 tickets, so with 52 you’ve got a 1.3% chance to win (much better odds than some 🦺 Treasury giveaways🍷)

I got my referrals using Starfall. The conversion rate is still solid — I got ~86%, meaning I needed just 58⚛️ to get 50 referrals.

🪙 Prize Pool Breakdown for Not Pixel

Another post about the second season of Not Pixel was released today on the project’s channel. They've added some extra details to what we already knew:

Prize Bank 🏦— this is where the rewards come from (1,000,000 PX to start, with the amount increasing as the tournament progresses).

🏆1% — for owners of the most expensive pixels
If you own a pixel purchased at a very high price, you will get at least 10,000 PX (or share this amount if there are multiple pixels with the same price). → This is a small but "elite" category.

🐇 10% — among the last 512 buyers of pixels at the end of the tournament
So, if you buy pixels just before the tournament ends, you’ll be added to this group and share in the 10% of the prize pool. → If you manage to buy all 512 of the last pixels yourself, you’ll get at least 100,000 PX. But no one knows exactly when the tournament ends — that’s the catch.

🏦 20% — among the 512 players with the most pixels at the end of the tournament
→ The more pixels you own by the end of the tournament, the higher your chances of getting a share of the 20% pool.

🐸 30% — among the 512 players who bought the most pixels at 1 PX each
→ This is the reward for buying cheap pixels (at 1 PX). The more you buy, the more you’ll get from the 30% pool.

🐥 39% — divided among the top 16 squads (groups of 64 players) with the most pixels
→ This is a team competition. The top 16 teams with the most total pixels share 39% of the pool.

They also mentioned a Burn Bank🔥 — more details will come later.

You can win in several categories.

The post ends with the following:

There could be hundreds of thousands of winners. Just buy the right pixel at the right time.

I didn’t quite understand this part. Or rather, I didn’t understand it at all. If you read everything as it’s written, it seems that each category will have no more than 512 winners, except for the squad pool, which has 1024 winners, and the most expensive pixel pool, where there could be multiple winners.
If my math is correct, that would be 2,561 winners, assuming each winner only competes in one category.

Even if we assume that they mean "512 spots" rather than "512 winners", implying that each spot could have multiple players, the math still doesn’t add up for me.

Well, okay, let's assume that multiple players share the same spot — even if it’s 10 people per spot. But if we’re talking about hundreds of thousands of winners (let’s take at least 200,000), that would mean, on average, 78 people per spot. And that’s counting it very roughly. If we think about it a bit more logically, it would actually be more than 78 people per spot (in the squads — fewer).

In this scenario, we could reach hundreds of thousands of winners (spoiler: the rewards will get very diluted), but then the information in the post doesn’t make sense...

Either I misunderstood something, or it’s all a bit strange. At first, I thought "this is a cool activity for those who will flood it with pixels. Most winners will likely break even", but the last part crushed that thought. What are your thoughts? Let’s break it down 🔍

By the way, if you really wanted to stake PX for 90 days with a 24% APY, the pool has been expanded again 😢

🪙 Launch Not Pixel 🪙

🛒 Tried using @mrkt for a few days — so far, impressions are good. The sweep floor is top-notch (hello Blur), and stickers clearly belong in the same marketplace as gifts, which is something MRKT is planning. Giveaways are well done and pleasant for all parties.

If you want to start a channel from scratch now — about crypto / gifts / whatever — for just 0.8 TON, you can still get a decent, non-bot starter audience. Around 500 real users.

🥺 If I compare it with Tonnel — I’ll choose MRKT.
Simply because I don’t like the founder Freeman’s policy where he can suddenly seize someone’s assets.
There was a precedent. And just recently he wrote in his channel that for influencers promoting MRKT, he’ll cut their Tonnel referral rewards by 50%.
Honestly, he should focus on fixing how his referral system works — it’s the only one where the link switches owners. Instead of punishing users, he should first fix that.

Still, respect to Tonnel as a pioneer. But the founder’s eccentricity puts user assets at risk, and that’s unacceptable in crypto.

🎁 Meanwhile, the floor price of the Plush Pepe gift has exceeded 1000 TON.

💎 Notcoin Listing — One Year Later

Let’s take a walk down memory lane, see what’s happened since, and take stock of where we are now.

It’s hard to estimate just how many people first touched crypto thanks to NOT. According to Sasha from the Notcoin team, over 2 million withdrawal requests to exchanges were submitted on May 16. (I’d love to know how many new users Notcoin brought to those exchanges.) And as for how many joined crypto with the launch of Notcoin’s TMA era — well, that number’s probably impossible to guess.

At TGE prices, Notcoin airdroped $560 million worth of tokens — making it one of the biggest airdrops of 2024 (top 10). What really set it apart, though, is that users didn’t need to invest anything to participate. And around 80% of the tokens were distributed to the community. (Notcoin wrote about 96%, but I’m more inclined to believe sources like cryptorank and icodrops).

Some numbers worth highlighting:
— 11.5 million people earned NOT
— $202 average bag (not sure if they mean airdropped or total holdings)
— 2.5 weeks after listing, NOT hit an ATH with price $0.0233 and a market cap of $2.39B. It stayed above listing price until August 26, with a few brief bumps above afterward — last time in early December. Current market cap is $278.7M
— $220M worth of NOT was distributed to users after TGE

After the listing, subscription tiers were introduced — paid in NOT — and those affected farming speed in pools. Pools, at first, were launching like crazy and getting drained fast.

But eventually... the pools just stopped coming. What happened there? No one really knows.

Personally, I didn’t buy any subscriptions. So I’m curious — did it pay off for those who did? I remember people getting extra airdrops like DOGS and others — maybe that helped recover the cost. But if someone bought, say, Platinum six months ago, I’m not sure they’d even have made half of it back.

Still, for me — and probably for many others — Notcoin brings mostly good memories. After all, it was the starting point for the whole TMA movement. It’s the reason we’re here in this channel now, still exploring new projects together. Sure, TMA isn't in its prime right now, but I’m hopeful for a comeback. Tap-to-earn games had to die eventually — and now the market’s evolving, with real games starting to appear on Telegram.

Curious to see what’s next for Notcoin. Seems like they’re cooking something up (hopefully more than just Not Pixel Season 2 😢).
On their official TG channel, they wrote:

we gonna celebrate our birthday with you probably for a couple of weeks

gifts, stickers, games and all kinds of other stuff

So — what did you get out of the project? Or what did you give? Still waiting on something? Did your subscription pay off, if you bought one? Would love to hear your stories. As for me, my Notcoin story pretty much ended about five weeks after the listing. I was hoping it would pump higher after the ATH — it didn’t, so I sold 🍷
