Animoca Brands 加倍投入 TON，預計 18 個月內 Web3 新用戶將達到 1 億

Animoca Brands 表示打算在二級市場上購買 WATCoins，這表明了其對 TON 區塊鏈未來的承諾。

Animoca Brands has revealed plans to purchase WATCoins on the secondary market, in a move that could further boost the adoption of the TON blockchain.

Animoca Brands 透露計劃在二級市場上購買 WATCoins，此舉可能會進一步促進 TON 區塊鏈的採用。

WAT is the utility token of WatBird, a Telegram app operated by Animoca subsidiary Gamee. The project has rapidly expanded its user base through a recent airdrop campaign, which saw WAT tokens being distributed in exchange for collecting Wat points.

WAT 是 WatBird 的實用代幣，WatBird 是由 Animoca 子公司 Gamee 營運的 Telegram 應用程式。該項目透過最近的空投活動迅速擴大了用戶群，其中分發了 WAT 代幣以換取收集 Wat 積分。

Following the news, WAT experienced a sharp increase in price, doubling in value before experiencing a slight decrease.

消息傳出後，WAT 價格大幅上漲，價值翻倍，隨後略有下跌。

Notcoin kicked off the airdrop trend on Telegram in early 2024 and has since hit 40 million users. Hamster Kombat and Catizen also joined the airdrop bandwagon, reportedly peaking at around 155 million and 30 million users at the height of their campaigns.

Notcoin 於 2024 年初在 Telegram 上掀起了空投趨勢，至今用戶數已達到 4,000 萬。 Hamster Kombat 和 Catizen 也加入了空投行列，據報道，在活動高峰期，用戶數量分別達到了 1.55 億和 3000 萬左右。

Meanwhile, WatBird's Telegram bot currently has 3.6 million users, while Gamee's Telegram channel boasts 4.5 million followers.

同時，WatBird 的 Telegram 機器人目前擁有 360 萬用戶，而 Gamee 的 Telegram 頻道則擁有 450 萬追蹤者。

As TON's largest validator and an investor in the growth of the ecosystem, Animoca's bullishness on Telegram and TON is evident. However, it's crucial to note that the two platforms are not inherently linked.

作為 TON 最大的驗證者和生態系統發展的投資者，Animoca 對 Telegram 和 TON 的看好顯而易見。然而，值得注意的是，這兩個平台並沒有內在的連結。

Any game can launch on Telegram, irrespective of whether it's web3-enabled. Games can also be deployed on blockchains other than TON, such as Ronin-based Lumina Hunt, which adds credence to the theory that Telegram is set to play a broader role in the mass adoption of web3.

任何遊戲都可以在 Telegram 上啟動，無論它是否支援 web3。遊戲也可以部署在 TON 以外的區塊鏈上，例如基於 Ronin 的 Lumina Hunt，這為 Telegram 將在 web3 的大規模採用中發揮更廣泛作用的理論增添了可信度。

Emphasizing this point, Animoca Brands co-founder and chairman Yat Siu has expressed optimism that platforms like Telegram will contribute to the onboarding of 100 million new web3 users within the next 12 to 18 months.

Animoca Brands 聯合創始人兼董事長 Yat Siu 強調了這一點，他樂觀地認為，像 Telegram 這樣的平台將在未來 12 至 18 個月內為 1 億新 web3 用戶的加入做出貢獻。

In an even bolder statement, Animoca CEO Robby Yung has asserted that Telegram will be instrumental in the mass adoption of web3, comparing the messaging platform's role to the banking system's shift towards online banking. He envisions games using Telegram to funnel users to their main browser-based games, ultimately leading to a scenario where each sector, from DeFi to gaming, will have its own complementary Telegram app.

Animoca 執行長 Robby Yung 在一份更大膽的聲明中聲稱，Telegram 將在 web3 的大規模採用中發揮重要作用，並將訊息傳遞平台的作用與銀行系統向網路銀行的轉變進行比較。他設想遊戲使用 Telegram 將用戶引導至主要的基於瀏覽器的遊戲，最終導致從 DeFi 到遊戲的每個領域都將擁有自己的補充 Telegram 應用程式。

According to data on the growing number of mini-games on TON, Yung's predictions appear to be well-founded. During Q3 2024, the blockchain experienced a 320% increase in new game titles. Less than three weeks into Q4, this number has risen from 385 to 416, indicating an additional 7% increase.

根據 TON 上不斷增長的小遊戲數量的數據，Yung 的預測似乎是有根據的。 2024 年第三季度，區塊鏈新遊戲數量增加了 320%。進入第四季不到三週，這一數字已從 385 增加到 416，增加了 7%。
