X Empire, a rising tap-to-earn game on Telegram, is following in the footsteps of Notcoin by launching pre-market trading through custom NFT vouchers. This comes ahead of its token launch and airdrop, giving players a unique way to get early access to tokens.
Unlike similar Telegram games like Hamster Kombat, which use traditional exchanges for pre-market trading, X Empire (formerly Musk Empire) allows players to redeem part of their airdrop by minting NFT vouchers.
These NFTs, created on The Open Network (TON), can be traded on the Getgems marketplace, similar to how Notcoin worked earlier this year. Notcoin lets players cash out some of their earned coins using NFT vouchers, which traders use to speculate on the token’s future price.
However, there’s a key difference between X Empire and Notcoin. While Notcoin offered a clear conversion rate (1,000 in-game coins for one on-chain token), X Empire has more complex gameplay.
Players can upgrade avatars and engage in extra features like stock betting or rock-paper-scissors battles, making a simple coin-to-token conversion less practical. The game’s developers have yet to clarify how the airdrop allocations will work, adding some uncertainty for players.
Players can mint these NFT vouchers if they wish, though it’s optional. Minting involves paying gas fees on the TON network, and X Empire takes a 20% royalty on secondary sales.
X Empire has named its token “X,” reflecting the rebrand of Elon Musk’s Twitter. The total supply of X tokens will be 690 billion on TON. As of now, the first NFT vouchers have started appearing on Getgems, with one selling for 7 TON (about $36).
The game’s mining phase will end on September 30, and players can expect the token airdrop to follow shortly after.
