Turning Play into Pay: How Tap-to-Earn Games Are Making Crypto Mainstream

For years, the challenge of achieving widespread crypto adoption has puzzled industry experts. But as the saying goes, everything ingenious is simple. Telegram’s innovative strategy to focus on tap-to-earn games worked perfectly! It has proven to be a game-changer in this regard. 

Remarkably, around 50% of players on Telegram are newcomers to the world of cryptocurrency. They engage with the platforms like Hamster Kombat simply to play and without even realizing it, they begin earning crypto. In this way they enter the industry seamlessly. 

Blum founder and CEO Gleb Kostarev highlighted this success and I absolutely agree here. This is indeed a tremendous step forward. 

Though these games face criticism – many of them may not be perfect and some people disapprove of the format, we need to admit that they play a crucial role in bringing new users into crypto space, and The Open Network blockchain is playing the significant part the most in onboarding these novices. In this way, it becomes a key player in the push for mass adoption.

I think it's an ideal solution. Integrating crypto  into engaging games, we’re not just introducing people to a new technology but doing so in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. It’s the key to overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in crypto adoption.
