Biggest Names Are Moving to Telegram

In 2021, the Web3 gaming dream hit a wall it could not cross - unsustainable economies, poor gameplay, and speculative models that left players disillusioned. A year has gone by, and things are now changing with  the next wave of innovation happening where few expected it - inside your messaging app. Telegram, known for being the communication backbone of the crypto community, is rapidly evolving into Web3’s leading superapp - and the world’s biggest Web3 brands are already building on it, leveraging the platform's growth potential.

And these brands are not just building. They're launching games players love to engage with - Play2Win games.

Pudgy Penguins & Pengu Clash

It started with one of the most beloved IPs in the space - Pudgy Penguins. Already a cultural juggernaut with toys in Walmart and a fanbase in the millions across Instagram, TikTok, and X, Pudgy Penguins made the leap into Telegram gaming with Pengu Clash, a real-time, skill-based mini-game powered by Elympics.

The results? Stunning. Over one million pre-registered users. Nearly 370,000 subscribers to the Pengu Clash Telegram game channel, with a frictionless gaming experience, complete with real tournaments, on-chain rewards, and seamless onboarding for crypto and non-crypto players alike as a cherry on top.

The message sent by Pengu Clash is clear - Web3 gaming isn’t dead, truth be told, it's far from what it was back in 2021. All we needed was just better infrastructure, better game and incentive design, and better distribution channels. Guess who's uniquely positioned to provide these features? Yup, you guessed right - Telegram and Elympics.

The Power Players Are Already Here

Pudgy Penguins were first, but they aren’t alone. As Telegram ramps up its mini-game ecosystem, the biggest brands in Web3 are lining up to build in the Telegram ecosystem:

• Bored Ape Yacht Club (13,508 subscribers)
• Moonbirds (11,227 subscribers)
• Azuki (57,408 subscribers)
• doodleverse (67,754 subscribers)
• Sappy Seals (3,751 subscribers)
• Chimpers (1,408 subscribers)
• Snoop Dogg (181,098 subscribers)
• Pengu Clash (367,494 subscribers and climbing)

If you haven't lived under a rock, you'd know right away these aren’t some minor names. These are the IPs that have huge communities and some of them even defined the first wave of NFT culture - and now they’re all moving to Telegram. Whether through community mini-games, interactive bots, or full-blown competitive ecosystems, they see what’s coming and are positioning themselves to make the most of Web3 gaming's bright future. Telegram isn’t just a messenger anymore. It’s the Web3 distribution channel of the future.

Why Play2Win Is the Key

Among this explosion of games and gamified experiences, Play2Win stands as something new, something that promises to elevate Web3 gaming to the next level. It's not about farming tokens with endless grind or idle clickers filled with bots. It’s about creating a competitive gameplay where skill coupled with game mastery is the only way to win. No bots. No luck. No pay-to-win mechanics.

Built on Elympics, the Play2Win model enables:

• Real-time multiplayer
• Anti-cheat and anti-bot protections
• Tokenized rewards tied to actual performance
• Scalable, mobile-first games embedded in Telegram

This is what makes Pengu Clash special. And it’s what every major brand looking to enter Telegram is paying attention to.

Who’s Next?

With top NFT brands already claiming territory, and the TON blockchain enabling seamless crypto integration behind the scenes, the stage is set for a Web3 gaming explosion on Telegram.

So the real question is who's the first to reach the status of the web3 icon?

Which brand is bold enough to turn their community into a gaming army? Which creator will transform their Telegram chat into an esports arena? Which game will be the next Pengu Clash?
