HashCats Gives Out $2M in Secret Points During Season 1, Kicks Off Season 2 with TGE Fast Approaching

2024 Crypto Gaming Growth: HashCats, T2E, and Future Plans

2024 was a massive year for crypto, particularly in gaming where projects that had been in the works for years finally hit their stride. Among them, Tap-to-Earn (T2E) games gained considerable popularity. According to FootprintAnalytics, the GameFi scene grew from roughly 500 projects in 2021 to over 3,500, with peak user numbers surpassing seven million and daily transactions soaring past 20 million.

T2E games are simpler and more accessible than the traditional Play-to-Earn (P2E) games, largely thanks to Telegram's integration of cryptocurrency and the TON blockchain, providing developers with both an eager audience and an easy launch platform. 

Among the T2E games, HashCats, a game centered around felines, ended 2024 with notable achievements. They've given out over $2 million worth of SP in rewards by the end of Season 1, and with Season 2 underway, players have more earning opportunities. 

HashCats are also gearing up for their Token Generation Event (TGE) that could happen any day now, although there's still a chance for new people to join in.

More About HashCats and Upcoming TGE

HashCats launched close to mid-2024, and over five million players have already interacted with it. The game offers a strategic and engaging experience centered on creating and expanding a mining empire. Players can optimize every aspect of the game, from card development to machine upgrades. By regularly checking and interacting with the game, players can collect their profits, but they can also stake their funds to level up, and earn even bigger rewards. Daily tasks and competitions provide additional ways to accumulate coins, bonuses, and prizes.

A key feature of the game is Secret Points (SP), an in-game currency with real-world value, where 1 SP equals $10. SP can be earned through activities such as giveaways and contests. These points will be converted into tokens during the upcoming TGE, offering players a tangible reward for their in-game efforts. The opportunity to earn SP and grow assets is still there, but players will need to act quickly as time is almost up.

Season 2 and Team Challenges

Season 1 introduced the core mining mechanics, while Season 2 expands the experience, moving players from managing a single ASIC to operating an advanced mining farm. Season 2 brings the chance to upgrade miners and cats, include up to four miners in the mining farm, and stake HASH for RedHASH, with Diamonds, the new currency, also introduced to the game.

The introduction of Team Challenges in Season 2 further enhances the gameplay by encouraging collaboration. These challenges are short events where teams compete to earn points through various in-game actions. Points are accumulated through tapping, spending, and completing tasks, with the combined efforts of all team members contributing to the leaderboard. At the end of each Team Challenge, rewards are distributed automatically based on leaderboard standings, with users earning up to $100 in 3 days. Coordinating with teammates and focusing on task completion can boost a team’s performance, while strategic spending adds a competitive edge. 

Rewards are scaled based on a team’s ranking, and top-performing squads receive Secret Points and CHO, the native token of Choise.ai that offers additional value in the game. HashCats and Choise.ai announced their partnership earlier this year.

Future Plans 

HashCats’ far-reaching plans include the launch of the HashCats Academy and a proprietary blockchain for staking and farming. The team has also hinted at further initiatives aimed at enhancing the player experience and providing even greater value to players after the $HASH token is listed on exchanges.
