TOP 10 Tap-To-Earn games 2024
What are Tap-to-Earn games, and why are they popular?
Tap-to-Earn (T2E) games are a type of Play-to-Earn (P2E) games where earning cryptocurrency simply requires tapping on a mobile screen. This year, "tap games" have taken over not only the crypto community but also a broader audience unfamiliar with the world of cryptocurrencies.
Emerging T2E Projects You Need to Know
Tap-to-Earn games are appealing due to their simplicity and dynamic gameplay, turning ordinary taps into exciting competitions. The entry barrier is minimal: all you need is a phone with internet access and Telegram installed. This is why they have hundreds of millions of players worldwide.
Wheel Of Whales
Wheel of Whale is a rapidly emerging Tap-to-Earn game on Telegram that allows players to earn $WHALE tokens through engaging gameplay. The game features a unique mechanism with multiple retro minigames and prize drops, providing an interactive way to accumulate tokens. Token distribution is happening in multiple stages:
- Stage 1: Giving out $10M worth of tokens to active community members the chance to earn tokens via an "invite a friend" program. As a double incentive, users earn 1 tokens for every USDT earned and 10% from house edge on friends’ wagers for lifetime. Stage 1 is ongoing and will be closed once all tokens have been distributed.
- Stage 2: Distribute up to 10% of the total $WHALE token supply through Wheel of Whales play-to-earn game. This stage simplifies the process of claiming tokens, as users can play and earn at any time. Their goal is to enable their community of millions to earn with Whale and reap the rewards when business is doing well.
Looking ahead, Wheel of Whale plans to list the $WHALE token in Q1 next year, which will increase the token’s visibility and accessibility. The roadmap also includes a token dashboard to display business performance metrics and a token buyback program that will reinvest 10% of business profits starting in Q2 next year.
Short project overview
Play Wheel of Whale
We have prepared a list of the most popular Tap-to-Earn games of the year, and you can probably guess which one takes first place.
1. Hamster Kombat
Hamster Kombat has become the most popular Tap-to-Earn game on Telegram, amassing a record 53 million subscribers. In the game, you become the CEO of a virtual cryptocurrency exchange, earning coins by tapping on digital hamsters. These coins can be spent on upgrades and completing tasks to increase your income.
The game now features keys, which can be obtained in three ways:
- Solving a puzzle in a daily mini-game.
- Playing games in the "playground" section and activating codes.
- Logging into the game daily, which not only brings keys but also additional coins and exclusive skins.
An airdrop is scheduled for September 26, 2024. The number of tokens will be influenced by the following factors: hourly income, task completion, invited friends, achievements, subscription to the channel, and collected keys.
2. Tap Swap
The TapSwap community on Telegram has nearly 26 million members. The core gameplay involves tapping the screen to earn coins called Shares, which can be exchanged for TAPS tokens, the native cryptocurrency of the game. As you tap, your coin balance increases, but energy is consumed, requiring time to recover.
Players can expand their capabilities by increasing the number of coins per tap and shortening recovery time, as well as activating boosts for temporary double earnings.
Recently, the game added an update called Tappy Town — a city-building simulator where you can create and develop unique structures, expanding the boundaries of your metropolis.
Additionally, TapSwap has integrated with Ston.fi, allowing players to swap tokens directly within the bot.
3. Blum
Blum stands out among other tap games by positioning itself as a hybrid cryptocurrency exchange rather than just a game. The Blum community on Telegram has nearly 22 million subscribers.
You can earn Blum Points in several ways:
- Farm points by launching the app and pressing the "Farm" button, while remembering to collect them on time.
- Participate in special tasks, such as inviting friends to earn additional points.
- Complete daily missions offered by Blum.
The Blum team recently launched a BLUM MEMEPAD contest to create a viral meme token on the TON platform. Participants need to come up with a name, ticker, logo, and describe a unique function for the token. Winners will receive cash prizes ranging from $50 to $500, with a deadline of September 10, 2024. Developers have also mentioned an upcoming airdrop, though the exact date has not been disclosed yet.
4. Notcoin
The Notcoin project started in January 2024, setting the trend and introducing tap game mechanics where users complete tasks, upgrade boosters, collect coins, and actively tap the screen. It was Notcoin's success that drove the growth of this niche and sparked immense interest in Tap-to-Earn projects on the TON network.
In just a few months, Notcoin attracted over 35 million users, and on May 16, the NOT token was listed on major exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bybit. The NOT launch was a sensation, with the coin’s market capitalization exceeding $1 billion in less than 10 minutes after trading began. However, the token experienced significant fluctuations: its peak price reached $0.02896 in June, but it is currently trading at $0.007427, down more than 15% over the past week.
5. MemeFi
MemeFi combines meme culture and gamification, creating an exciting gaming experience. Players join clans, battle bosses, and earn coins and bonuses. A key game mechanic involves keys, symbolizing social capital, which can be exchanged.
The game offers boosters such as TURBO for increased damage and RECHARGE for energy recovery, along with improvements like a clicker bot, damage upgrades, energy storage, and recharge speed. A recent update introduced a roulette where players can win coins and bonuses, adding an element of surprise.
MemeFi’s token listing is set for October 9, 2024. While it’s unclear which exchanges the token will be listed on, the token distribution is as follows:
- Max supply: 10B
- TGE supply: 100%
- Community: 90%
- Liquidity/CEXs: 5.5%
- Seed: 1.5%
- Partners: 1%

6. Yescoin
Yescoin is a popular mini-game on Telegram with swipe-to-earn mechanics and a retro-pixel design. The core gameplay involves completing daily and special tasks, using boosters to increase earnings, entering a daily secret code, and adopting a YesPac pet for automatic mining.
On August 1, the Yes Summer event kicked off, offering a prize pool of 1,000,000 USDT over six weeks. As part of this event, Yescoin partnered with six leading global exchanges. Users can participate by inviting friends and completing tasks to earn a share of the prize pool.
Additionally, Yescoin took second place in the fifth season of The Open League among blockchain applications on TON, showcasing its popularity and success in the world of crypto games.

Coins of inactive players who haven’t logged in for more than 30 days will be burned.
8. PixelTap (by Pixelverse)
PixelTap is the first clicker game on Telegram to introduce PvP battles, breathing new life into the traditional Tap-to-Earn model. Players can upgrade their characters and receive rewards, making the game even more engaging.

- The updated referral system provides lifetime passive income in TON and Gems rewards for friends who reach level 10.
9. W-Coin
W-Coin uses standard clicker mechanics: earn coins by tapping the screen, with boosts and permanent upgrades to increase income. Energy is limited and decreases with each tap, earning 1 W-Coin per tap. There are two free boosters: Full-Battery restores energy, and Lucky Dice applies a multiplier from 1x to 20x for 10 seconds. Each booster can be used three times a day.
Permanent upgrades include:
- Tap: Increases coins earned per tap.
- Maximizer: Increases the energy limit.
- Charger: Speeds up energy recovery.
- W-orker: A bot that collects coins in your absence.
- Multiplier: Adds a chance for up to 100x multipliers per tap.
There is also staking, where players can lock their W-Coins for 3, 7, or 14 days with returns from 2% to 20%, depending on the duration.
Developers allowed players to collectively choose the blockchain for token launch: Ethereum, Solana, or TON. Voting recently ended, and it was announced in the community’s Telegram channel that TON was chosen with 68% of the votes.
10. Dotcoin
Dotcoin shares similar mechanics with other clicker games but with a key difference: you need to tap on a point that expands into four "zones" – x1, x2, x3, and x4. You have 30 seconds per round to earn as many tokens as possible. The goal is to move through all zones from x1 to x4 in one round, and the main objective is to stay in the x4 zone for as long as possible to maximize earnings.
To boost your earnings in the game, follow these tips:
- Use boosters like Multitap, Daily Attempts, and DTC Mining.
- Complete tasks such as subscribing to communities and watching videos.
- Invite friends for extra bonuses.
- Play Game X2, which allows you to double up to 150,000 Dotcoins (but no more than 30% of your earned coins) with a 51% chance. It is available once every 24 hours.
- Spin the roulette for additional coins.
