Since this spring, Telegram has become a gaming platform for hundreds of millions of users. The Notcoin project with its simple tap-and-play game opened the door to a lot of such entertainment. Let’s find out what these games are, how to play them, what varieties exist and whether you can earn real money from them.
What are slippers
Tapalka is a general name for a category of games in Telegram where the player’s main task is to tap (tap) on the screen. These actions earn in-game coins, which can potentially be converted into cryptocurrency.
As a rule, in the initial stages of the game requires active tapping, but over time, the strategic elements are connected – you will need to think and calculate. At the same time, such games require only one resource – your time. Conscientious projects do not require real money, and if the game insists on donations, it is better to stay away from it.
Is it possible to make money on tapalk?
Theoretically, yes. This is possible if the developers fulfill their promise and bring their coins to cryptocurrency exchanges. Then in-game coins can be exchanged for the project’s cryptocurrency, and then either sold for USDT (analog of dollars), or left with the expectation that its value will grow.
However, there is a nuance: there are no guarantees of listing. Developers often make loud promises, but when it comes to realization, they become cautious and a bit wordy. The reason is not always deception – the fate of the project depends on many factors, such as popularity among players, the interest of investors, work with advertisers and exchanges.
Therefore, investing real money in tapalki is not recommended. Listing may never take place, and no one will return the funds to you. In the worst case, the project may turn out to be fraudulent.
How mini-apps work
The mini application in Telegram functions according to the following principle:
- The user launches the app through a channel or chat in Telegram. It opens in the webview (web version).
- The app retrieves user data via Telegram API, such as name, ID and photo.
- The app server handles the requests.
- The interface is updated based on the user’s actions.
- Apps can use the Telegram API to make payments, including TON and other methods.

Features of mini-apps and tapalooks
Mini apps have a number of differences from traditional mobile and web programs:

- Play-to-earn mechanics. Some mini-apps and tapalongs implement a “play-to-earn” model. These can be games with rewards such as in-game currency, discounts, bonuses or cryptocurrencies.
