Notcoin & DOGS Drive $515,000 Donations via TON Integration

- Notcoin and DOGS leverage TON wallet for gaming and philanthropic adoption. - DOGS donates $515,000 to charity as Notcoin gamifies the new user experience. On August 4, 2025, Cointelegraph reported on two projects developed on The Open Network (TON)—Notcoin and DOGS—that spearhead sustainable crypto adoption through innovative approaches. They combine gaming ecosystems, meme-driven culture, and charitable initiatives, using Telegram’s TON wallet integration to simplify onboarding and lower adoption barriers. Notcoin began as a tap-to-earn game on Telegram and has since evolved into a broader gaming platform called "Not Games." The platform functions like a Steam-style arcade, and its ecosystem offers features like squads, achievements, and tradable in-game assets to drive long-term user engagement. The project uses gamification and Telegram’s large user base to attract non-crypto-native audiences, helping users transition seamlessly into blockchain-powered gaming. Meanwhile, DOGS, a memecoin with philanthropic goals, connects crypto market activity with social good. By July 2025, the project had donated more than $515,000 to non-profit organizations, including the Best Friends Animal Society and World Child Cancer. The project has also earmarked approximately $4.5 million in unclaimed tokens for future charity efforts. In addition, revenue from trading fees contributes to a grant treasury. DOGS encourages community participation by allowing token holders to nominate and vote on which charities receive donations, a process that fosters trust and ensures direct social impact. Both projects use Telegram’s TON wallet, which streamlines transactions and reinforces user accessibility. By combining cultural relevance with practical applications, Notcoin and DOGS work to build deeper community trust and inspire wider adoption of other TON-powered projects. According to CoinMarketCap data on August 4, at 18:15 UTC, DOGS (DOG) was trading at $0.003, reflecting a 3.97% increase in 24-hour trading volume. At the same time, Notcoin (NOT) was trading at $0.002, marking a 1.43% rise in its trading volume.
