The Legendary Game is Back on TON Blockchain

We used to call them caps, pogs or sotkas. Now they’re all Ton Caps, a GameFi project on TON blockchain.

📱 Ton Caps is a Web App, so you won’t need to download anything — you can play the game straight in Telegram! We hope that’ll help build a strong community of caps lovers faster.

Give the gameplay a try by playing in free-to-play mode with Free Caps. You get 1 Free Pack with 3 Free Caps every day by simply entering the game.

Then you can upgrade to play-to-earn mode by purchasing Cardboard, Gold or Holographic NFT caps with real value in TON token, which has recently entered the top 40 cryptocurrencies per market capitalization and the top 5 for PoS tokens.

👍 F2P mode is cool for a start, but only when playing in P2E mode can you experience the core value of our game, which is winning your opponent’s caps — or losing your own if the luck turns around.

Ton Caps beta will be released in October 2022. Join this channel to be the first to try it out!

How to Play Ton Caps in P2E mode: Easy 6-Step Guide

1️⃣ Buy at least 1 Bita Pack and 1 Gold or Special Caps Pack
2️⃣ Open your packs in the game client and get your first NFT caps
3️⃣ Choose the caps you’d like to bet and find a rival with an equal bet
4️⃣ Play ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ — the winner makes the 1st move in the match
5️⃣ Choose your strategy and use the right Bita in the right time to slam the stack of caps
6️⃣ Win your rival’s caps by turning them face-up with your Bita

You can use the caps you win in the next match, or sell them on the secondary market. We assume that the caps’ price will depend on how cool they are (in points; they’re written on the front side of each cap), as well as on their rarity (caps from the previous season is always more valuable than caps from the current season because they are no longer in emission).

👉 You'll also be able to buy Ton Caps NFTs on secondary market at Getgems after the mint.

NFT Types in Ton Caps

There are 3 types of playable NFTs in Ton Caps:

🟡 Cap (POG) — an NFT that can be played with or collected. If you choose to play with your cap and bet it for the match, you might either win or lose it. The value of each cap is measured in points, which determine how cool the cap is, so it can be Cardboard, Gold or Holographic. The 4th type of caps, Free Caps, can be used in F2P mode only.

🟣 Bita (slammer) — a rare NFT you need to slam the stack of caps in the match. There are 8 types of Uncommon Slammers in Ton Caps, each with its own impact on the chances of turning the caps over. Each player gets a free Common Bita after entering the game.

🟠 Pack — a top level NFT with other NFTs inside. Bita Pack contains 1 or 2 Bita NFTs, Caps Pack contains caps with a slight chance of getting a Bita among them. Caps Packs can be Gold or Special, depending on the coolness of the caps it contains.

Why WebApps are the Future of the Internet

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, who also stood at the origins of the TON blockchain, often complains about Google Play and App Store taking a monstrous 30% tax from app developers. While Android users can enjoy the privilege of installing apk files directly to their smartphone, iPhone users have no other way but to obey the rules of the Apple game.

Thankfully, Web 3.0 gives us an opportunity to outwit the greedy corporations with the help of WebApp — a technology that allows users to open applications inside Telegram. WebApps look as native as possible, and give the developers more freedom in terms of UX/UI design than native or cross-platform apps do. Consequently, the chances of making a good first impression on the user and winning his loyalty grow tremendously — of course, if you can explain to your audience where to tap exactly.

Of course, developing a WebApp is more difficult than creating a website or a chat bot. But we take difficulty as a challenge. And we accept it because we see a clear trend towards the use of web applications for online stores in Telegram. So, there is some probability that Telegram will open its own app store soon. And this is the blue ocean into which TON CAPS wants to dive before anyone else. At least before any other GameFi project on TON.
