Notcoin Successfully Breaks Into Mainstream and Lists on Major Exchanges: Key Information Before Launch

Author: Alfred

1. What is Notcoin?

Notcoin is a free and easy-to-use Telegram game where players earn coins by tapping their smartphone screens. Its "Tap to Earn" mechanism has brought many users into Web3. Since its launch on January 1, 2024, Notcoin has become one of the most popular channels on Telegram in terms of热度 and user count. The community is highly active, with over 30 million participants, more than 6 million members in Telegram groups, and daily peak active users exceeding 5 million, backed by Telegram's user base of over 1.3 billion.

In March, LD Capital published a research report providing a detailed introduction and expressing optimism about its future performance. For fundamental analysis, refer to the previous article "Can Virally Spread Notcoin Become the Meme Coin That Breaks TON Ecosystem Into the Mainstream?". With its massive user base and potential, combined with support from the TON Foundation and the popularity of its fair-distributed meme coin concept, Notcoin successfully listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges in May, achieving mainstream breakthrough.

2. Recent Trends

Recently, Notcoin has evolved from a simple Telegram game into a project favored by mainstream crypto exchanges and capital. On May 16, it will simultaneously list on 18 exchanges, including Binance, OKX, Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate.io, BitMart, Bitfinex, and Crypto.com.

This shift reflects, to some extent, changing preferences among exchanges and investors when selecting assets for secondary markets. Against a backdrop of tight market liquidity, retail investors have grown weary of VC-backed tokens that result in immediate losses upon listing. A mutual reluctance to buy these tokens has driven new token prices downward. Market sentiment has now shifted from low-circulation, high-FDV VC tokens toward high-circulation, community-driven meme coins.

3. Listing Details

Notcoin will go live on various exchanges at 12:00 UTC (20:00 Beijing Time) on May 16. Recently, several exchanges have launched mining campaigns—for example, Binance initiated its Launchpool on May 13, 2024, at 00:00 UTC, supporting BNB and FDUSD pools.

• Token Name: Notcoin (NOT)

• Maximum Token Supply: 102,719,221,714 NOT

• Initial Circulating Supply: 102,719,221,714 NOT (100% of maximum supply - fully circulating)

The token distribution further illustrates the shift in asset selection trends. Notcoin allocated the vast majority of tokens to the community through Tap-to-Earn mining—over 78%—while project development received only 5%, with no allocation for investors.

4. Pre-Market Preparation

Pre-market participants can be roughly categorized into three types: 1) Early participants who farmed coins or purchased OTC vouchers; 2) Users participating in exchange mining programs; 3) Those waiting to enter after listing.

For Type 1: If holding NFT vouchers listed on Getgems, import them promptly via the Notcoin Telegram BOT (minting fee: 0.06 per voucher), then withdraw tokens to an exchange (withdrawal fee: 1.5%). If holding wNOT, wait for the conversion to NOT to open (expected to be available on listing day).

For Type 2: Simply follow each exchange’s rules. Binance Launchpool offers the largest total reward: 3,081,576,651 NOT (3% of maximum supply).

For Type 3: Consider participation based on valuation and post-listing price action.

5. Valuation Overview

On the evening of May 15, NFT vouchers on Getgems, wNOT on ston.fi, and Aevo's OTC price were trading at $0.0101, $0.0089, and $0.00795, respectively.

As a fully circulating token, NOT is better compared with other meme coins. Given its rapid listing pace, a comparison with BOME is more appropriate. Recently, projects with moderate热度have listed with market caps between $500 million and $1 billion. Additionally, the neutral-to-bullish CPI data released on the evening of May 15 boosted the overall market. Therefore, NOT is expected to open above $0.01, with a pullback range of $0.006–$0.01.
