Animoca Brands 加倍投入 TON，预计 18 个月内 Web3 新用户将达到 1 亿

Animoca Brands 表示打算在二级市场上购买 WATCoins，这表明了其对 TON 区块链未来的承诺。

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 透露计划在二级市场上购买 WATCoins，此举可能会进一步促进 TON 区块链的采用。

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 的实用代币，WatBird 是由 Animoca 子公司 Gamee 运营的 Telegram 应用程序。该项目通过最近的空投活动迅速扩大了用户群，其中分发了 WAT 代币以换取收集 Wat 积分。

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

消息传出后，WAT 价格大幅上涨，价值翻倍，随后略有下跌。

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 于 2024 年初在 Telegram 上掀起了空投趋势，至今用户数量已达到 4000 万。 Hamster Kombat 和 Catizen 也加入了空投行列，据报道，在活动高峰期，用户数量分别达到了 1.55 亿和 3000 万左右。

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

与此同时，WatBird 的 Telegram 机器人目前拥有 360 万用户，而 Gamee 的 Telegram 频道拥有 450 万关注者。

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.

作为 TON 最大的验证者和生态系统发展的投资者，Animoca 对 Telegram 和 TON 的看好显而易见。然而，值得注意的是，这两个平台并没有内在的联系。

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.

任何游戏都可以在 Telegram 上启动，无论它是否支持 web3。游戏也可以部署在 TON 以外的区块链上，例如基于 Ronin 的 Lumina Hunt，这为 Telegram 将在 web3 的大规模采用中发挥更广泛作用的理论增添了可信度。

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 联合创始人兼董事长 Yat Siu 强调了这一点，他乐观地认为，像 Telegram 这样的平台将在未来 12 至 18 个月内为 1 亿新 web3 用户的加入做出贡献。

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 首席执行官 Robby Yung 在一份更大胆的声明中声称，Telegram 将在 web3 的大规模采用中发挥重要作用，并将消息传递平台的作用与银行系统向网上银行的转变进行比较。他设想游戏使用 Telegram 将用户引导至主要的基于浏览器的游戏，最终导致从 DeFi 到游戏的每个领域都将拥有自己的补充 Telegram 应用程序。

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.

根据 TON 上不断增长的小游戏数量的数据，Yung 的预测似乎是有根据的。 2024 年第三季度，区块链新游戏数量增长了 320%。进入第四季度不到三周，这一数字已从 385 增加到 416，增加了 7%。
