<p>“OKX Racer,” a brand-new Telegram mini-app game, was launched on Monday, according to OKX. Every five seconds, users in this free-to-play game must guess the <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price of Bitcoin</a> (BTC). To score points, players must determine whether the price will rise (the “moon”) or decline (the “doom”).</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-earning-points-and-rewards"><strong>Earning Points and Rewards</strong></h3>
<p>Besides predicting the price, players can earn more points by making consecutive correct guesses. Additionally, they can refer friends to gain extra points. These points can be used to buy in-game upgrades like boosting their fuel tank. OKX Racer also allows players to link their OKX accounts. Completing know-your-customer (KYC) verification can lead to future surprises, OKX added.</p>
<p>Moreover, it’s not clear if OKX plans to convert OKX Racer points to crypto. This model is similar to Notcoin’s tap-to-earn system. Notcoin launched its NOT token on the <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/ton-blockchain-partners-with-animoca-brands-for-consumer-network-expansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TON blockchain</a> in May. The largest cryptocurrency for gaming this year is this token, which has a market price of almost $1.5 billion.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-leveraging-telegram-s-mini-apps"><strong>Leveraging Telegram’s Mini-Apps</strong></h3>
<p>According to Jason Lau, OKX’s Chief Innovation Officer, the decision to launch the mini-app on Telegram aims to embrace easy-to-use, interoperable, and accessible platforms. These platforms cultivate communities, incentivize participation, and encourage fun.</p>
<p>Telegram uses web-based applications, known as <a href="https://web.dev/explore/mini-apps" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mini-apps</a>, that run inside the social network. These mini-apps allow crypto projects to launch directly within Telegram. Users do not need to install the apps on their devices to gain access.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-growing-popularity-of-crypto-clicker-games"><strong>Growing Popularity of Crypto Clicker Games</strong></h3>
<p>Additionally, Telegram, along with its TON blockchain, has become a hub for ‘clicker games’. Games like Hamster Kombat, Tapswap, and Notcoin typically pay people to tap their smartphone screens. These games have gained massive followings. For example, Hamster Kombat alone claims to have over 250 million players.</p>
<p>Moreover, OKX Racer is not the first game to use Bitcoin’s price for gaming purposes. In 2019, Solana-based platform Hxro introduced a similar game called MoonRekt. This game allowed users to bet the HXRO token on whether the BTC price would rise or fall within a five-minute window.</p>
<p>Consequently, OKX Racer represents a growing trend of integrating <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/xrps-potential-surge-to-20-analyst/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto predictions</a> into gaming. These games attract users by combining entertainment with potential financial rewards. Significantly, OKX Racer aims to leverage Telegram’s extensive user base and the popularity of mini-apps. This move positions OKX to engage more users and build a vibrant community within the crypto.</p>
