Introduction - What is Telegram and the Telegram Ecosystem
According to Wikipedia, Telegram is a software, a cloud-based, cross-platform, a social media and an instant messaging (IM) service founded by Nikolai and Pavel Durov, founders of VKontakte popular Russian-based social media platform.
Due to its initial anonymous character, Telegram has been heavenly accused in the past as a means of propagating fake news and a means of communication of dark elements of the global politics, scammers, thugs, dealers of any kind etc and I have found at least 2 articles talking about this on the web in Article 1 and Article 2. Everything your parents have warned you when you asked them for an internet connection at home, a horrible consequence of internet anonymity as it was initially described and admitted by Tim May himself, the CryptoAnarchist, the founder of the CypherPunk group or movement in 90s in his vision for anonymity on the world wide web. A vision which has been the origin of the Satoshi Nakamoto Vision as it was described on the paper "A Peer-To-Peer Electronic Cash System.
However, Durovs' goal wasn't just to create just another IM app such as Viber, Messenger, WhatsUp etc but to take it further and by developing first a native anonymous cryptocurrency named as TON Community as a means of exchange (of any kind) within the platform, they planned to add several attributes on the platform. Tim May's Vision had finally become a reality!
Yet, the recent hype of the Telegram Tap2Earn Apps, has stirred once again my interest into Telegram, this time not for its fake manipulative trading signals or scammed airdrop bots channels but a significant milestone in the instant messaging - that of embedding 3rd party apps into an instant messaging app. An Inception!
Exactly! Why someone should download a DeFi Wallet full of DeFi-based Apps when Durovs can bring these apps on your everyday IM app that you use to communicate with your friends and family using end2end encryption technology that keeps the communication private? And this is what this article is all about. A narration of my favourite, my top Telegram Apps or even better Tap2Earn AppS. No! After the latest hype, this article could have been infinite, however, I have managed to present just the most notable of them!
DOGS HOUSE
DOGS HOUSE is the main reason I got involved into this labyrinth of Telegram Tap2Earn Apps. Few months ago, there were rumours circulating a Telegram airdrop of Telegram native meme coin $DOGS. So out of curiosity I downloaded Telegram once again into my mobile device, not for joining fake manipulative trading signals and airdrop scammers channels this time but to see if i can get that $DOGS airdrop too! My good friend PVM has already written about the airdrop on his article with title "The $DOGS On Telegram Started On-Chain Mass Adoption!" where he explained how he claimed his airdropped $DOGS but unfortunately in my case I STILL can't and never couldn't move my airdropped $DOGS from the App homepage (when this was available) into my TON wallet because I couldn't connect noone of them with the app!
I tried to find more information online and I came across a webpage tutorial from GUARDA wallet with title "What is DOGS on Telegram: A Comprehensive Guide to the DOGS Crypto Game" which normally it clearly explains how to earn crypto with $DOGS:
How to Earn Crypto with DOGS
Earning crypto with DOGS is straightforward and involves participating in the game’s various activities. Here’s how you can start earning with DOGS:
Complete Daily Tasks: The DOGS game features daily tasks that players can complete for additional rewards. These tasks are usually simple, such as feeding your dog or completing a training session, but they offer a steady stream of tokens.
Trade in the Marketplace: The in-game marketplace is another way to earn DOGS tokens. By buying and selling items, or even trading dogs, you can increase your token holdings. The marketplace operates on supply and demand, so smart trading can lead to significant profits.
Participate in Special Events: DOGS regularly hosts special events that offer higher rewards than usual activities. These events might include tournaments, special races, or limited-time challenges. Participating in these events is a great way to boost your earnings.
But Hell! I can't find anything on this idle app anymore!!! The main DOGS HOUSE interface is completely idle, there is NO interaction there AT ALL! What is happening here? Who are you dawg ?
and apart from DOGS HOUSE several other "PET" alternatives Tap2Earn have emerged such as the CATS HOUSE or the CATS & DOGS HOUSE promising a relevant airdrop when their meme coin will become a cryptocoin. At least Binance, compensated me with $TON and $DOGS airdrops through the relevant LaunchPool campaigns!
RollerTap
My 2nd reason for having Telegram on my mobile phone, on my tablet or at my Windows interface again is the RollerTap. A game where you endlessly tap miners from Rollercoin to earn RC credits or coins or whatever you can call that thin air!
Yes! I know I have written about RollerTap again about the vanity tapping the screen of a mobile device constantly without any substantial profit while waiting the bus, the train, your friends, your spouse, you family but hell again I am visiting the App once a day to collect my daily bonus!
Nonetheless, possibly RollerCoin realised that the number of RollerTap users have fallen significantly, so recently, they announced on X that they are trying to find a way to connect the 2 interfaces.
So at least now, a RollerTap user might have a good motivation to keep tapping his Telegram screen.
Blum
I am very curious about Blum. This is an app where the user collects Blum coins through several online activities such as following Blum's CEO on social media, staking the earn coins in a tribe and farm them daily. Pay attention Blum is NOT a cryptocoin yet, but who knows? Again, I visit the app daily to continue my streak and receive the farming profit. Who knows? Maybe one day I will become a millionaire in Blum !
You can join Blum and become a Blum millionaire too!
Tapless Game
Forget Tapping Thin Air Coins. With the Tapless Game you can earn REAL $TON every 5 mins just by completing a Captcha. Just like a faucet! All you have to do is to connect your TON Wallet. Have I been paid? Not yet but I hope so!
Time Farm
This is again a tapless app. But this time it isn't a $TON faucet that you claim but "Time" Coins which you can farm and stake or earn through the well known social media activities again and stake them just like you do with your cryptocoins in Binance. And maybe these "Time" coins will become a cryptocoin one day and you will become a millionaire ! But until then Time Farm is just a farm and stake emulator!
The Telegram TON Wallet
No! You can't withdraw your $TON and $DOGS coins directly into your cryptowallet, Binance or FaucetPay. However, all Telegram Tap2Earn Apps have a generic withdrawal mechanism that requires from the users to actually connect the App with a specialised TON Wallet.
And the user has a selection of TON wallets recommended from Telegram such as the TONKeeper, MyTonWallet, TonHub, DeWallet etc. Yet, the generic user almost certainly will try first the native Telegram TON Wallet hoping that it would provide the greatest levels of security as it is provided from Telegram itself. Unfortunately, although the Telegram Wallet is a crypto Wallet, it doesn't follow the Satoshi Nakamoto Vision for Anonymity of transactions anymore (?). I don't know if that was the case before or after the arrest of Telegram's founder Nikolai Durov in Paris, however, one thing is certain if someone will try - at least from Greece - to withdraw the $TON or $DOGS profits from the Telegram-embedded TON Wallet, he would fall into the rocks of KYC. The cancer of all crypto transactions. Telegram was obliged to abandon Tim May's Vision about CryptoAnarchism and become just another mainstream crypto-app succumbed to the requests of the FIAT monetary establishment.
As you can see in the following screenshots, when I tried to start a withdrawal from my Telegram Wallet, even though it was complete empty, I received a warning that my Greek account comes from an "unsupported region" and for that reason I had to provide a proof of address, my First name, my Last name and my date of birth exactly as it appears in my identification government document.
As a maximalist of the Satoshi Nakamoto Vision for anonymity in the crypto-world, this certainly would never happen. FullStop.
Final Thoughts
These are actually my favourite Telegram Tap2Earn Apps. Everyday it happens to receive through my faucets and PTC platforms several recommendations for new Telegram Apps that emerge everyday. The list is infinite, but i keep experimenting while trying to find any hidden gems. Nevertheless, apart from the above mentioned Tap2Earn apps, I tend also to follow muted the official community channels of my favourite faucets and PTC platforms such as the AdBull Official, the Faucet Crypto, the Earn-Pepe and also Pipeflare, even though they have banned me from their Tap2Earn Airdrop App.
No i won't mention Hamster Combat. Possibly i have joined it but at the moment i don't have time for it. As i said before... I am still exploring the space. Yes! I am still exploring the exploding infinite universe of the Telegram Tap2Earn Apps, however I am highly alerted as the space is full of scams and spams. Moreover, I still haven't managed to withdraw or earn any funds (mainly TON tokens) into my MyTon Wallet for wasting my time on Telegram Tap2Earn Apps so let's see how the future will be unfolded...
If you are interested to stay in touch with me about any Telegram Tap2Earn Apps, Android or Web Faucets and PTC platforms recommendations, you can join my Telegram channel.
