X Empire, a popular tap-to-earn game on Telegram, has just rolled out an innovative feature: NFT vouchers for pre-market token trading. This launch allows players to get early access to the game’s soon-to-be-released tokens. The move is similar to what Notcoin did earlier this year, giving users a chance to get involved in token trading before the official launch.

What Are NFT Vouchers?

NFT vouchers allow players to redeem a portion of their airdropped tokens before they officially hit the market. In X Empire’s case, these vouchers are minted on The Open Network (TON) and can be traded on Getgems, a marketplace for TON-based NFTs.

While Notcoin provided a straightforward 1,000-to-1 conversion rate for its in-game coins to tokens, X Empire’s system is a bit more complex. This is because the game offers additional features such as avatar upgrades and stock betting. This makes a direct conversion between in-game coins and tokens more challenging to implement.

X Empire’s developers have yet to provide clear details on how the token airdrop allocation will work, leaving some players uncertain about the value of their future tokens.

Optional Minting for Players

Players are not required to mint these NFT vouchers, but they have the option to do so if they want early access to tokens. However, minting comes with gas fees on the TON network, and X Empire takes a 20% royalty from any secondary sales of these vouchers.

X Empire’s token, simply called “X,” is named in line with Elon Musk’s rebrand of Twitter. The game has set a total supply of 690 billion X tokens, all created on the TON blockchain.

The first NFT vouchers have already started appearing on the Getgems marketplace, with one selling for 7 TON, approximately $36. The game’s mining phase is set to end on September 30, with the airdrop expected shortly after.

What’s Next for Players?

As the mining phase winds down, players are eagerly awaiting more information on how their airdrop allocations will work. For now, those who are looking to get ahead of the curve can start minting and trading their NFT vouchers. But with details still unclear, some may choose to wait for further announcements from the developers before diving in.
