Everything You Need to Know About the ‘Tomarket’ Telegram Game Airdrop

Prominent Telegram crypto game Tomarket has generated its TOMA token on The Open Network (TON), as planned. Now its almost time for players to reap what they have sown in the tomato-themed game.

According to the latest updates, Tomarket has taken a snapshot of player progress at the time of the token launch, and will reveal allocations to eligible players 24 hours later—on Friday, November 1 at 12pm ET.

However, not all of the 40 million-plus players will get a share of the bounty. Here‘s a primer on who is set to receive TOMA tokens on Tomarket, how you’ll claim the tokens, and what to expect in the future.

Whos eligible for the airdrop？

Tomarket has set various tasks that players must complete before earning a share of the TOMA airdrop, some of which have gradually trickled in over the last day. Its still unclear what the cutoff is for completing these, but as of this posting, these are the set tasks:

• Add a tomato emoji to your Telegram display name
• Reach the Bronze (L4) level in Tomarket
• Connect a TON wallet
• Buy the premium medal (optional)
• Join the Tomarket Announcement community channel

As of this writing, it appears that another step will be added to the list, but thats all that Tomarket has revealed so far. Note that the airdrop-boosting premium medal, which costs approximately $5 worth of TON or Telegram Stars, is an optional step and not required to claim tokens.

Decrypt asked a Tomarket representative for clarification on any deadline or cutoff for players to complete the steps to claim their airdrop, but did not immediately receive a response.

Tomarket said that it will give out 80% of the entire token allocation during the airdrop, though its still unclear how many tokens have been generated. Decrypt also inquired about this detail and will update the story if we hear back.

What do I need to do to claim it？

Based on whats been shared so far, it appears that eligible players will be able to claim the tokens within the Tomarket mini app on Telegram and then decide whether to withdraw them to a wallet. It should be pretty straightforward.

Note that while the premium medal is optional to take part in the airdrop, messaging around the feature suggests that only medal buyers will have their full TOMA allocation unlocked at launch.

Medal owners were promised to get “100% tokens when we list,” which means that non-buyers may only have a portion of tokens unlocked from the start, with a remaining portion set to vest over time.

Hamster Kombat, for example, let players claim and withdraw 88.75% of their allocation, with the remaining tokens vesting for 10 months—until July 2025, presumably. That game, however, which attracted some 300 million total players, did not sell an item that lets buyers claim the full share of tokens right from the outset.

What happens after the airdrop？

Tomarket has teased plans to evolve in some manner following the airdrop, though exactly what‘s planned isn’t fully clear just yet.

What we do know is that Tomarket plans to launch a Farming Pool feature, and like other Telegram games like Notcoin and X Empire, Tomarket sees its future in part as providing exposure to upcoming games and projects while giving players special benefits.

The Farming Pool will let TOMA token holders “tap into exclusive projects, maximize your earnings, earn a share of tokens from your referrals, and enjoy hassle-free earning opportunities.” Players who refer new users will gain a 10% share of whatever tokens their referrals generate, according to the post.

Tomarket also teased that the premium medal would provide some kind of booster to an upcoming feature, though it‘s currently unclear whether that’s tied to the Farming Pool or some other kind of new feature or service on the horizon.
