Notcoin had a single action: poke the coin with your finger. Over five months about thirty-five million people did it.
In 2020, after the US Securities and Exchange Commission barred Telegram from issuing Gram tokens and the company returned more than $1 billion to investors, Pavel Durov wrote that the project was closed.

The network that Telegram had conceived as its own lived on as The Open Network, formally independent of the messenger. A few years later Telegram embraced it again. A wallet appeared right inside the messenger, mini-apps inside chats learned to accept TON tokens, and a blockchain few people had heard of found itself with access to 900 million users. All that remained was to come up with something to keep them busy.
