Early this morning, Binance’s customer service team clarified that their mini-app game on Telegram, Moonbix, had been leaked ahead of its scheduled release. The app users are currently experiencing is only a beta version.

 

Despite the strong interest from the community, Binance aims to fine-tune the product to optimize the user experience before its official release.

Binance asks users to understand this incident. The platform is reviewing each case of affected users to provide appropriate solutions.

Binance promises to announce the official launch date for Moonbix soon. In the meantime, users should be cautious of fake accounts and only follow information from Binance’s official channels.

The rise of the “Tap-to-Earn” trend

It appears Moonbix is part of the emerging “Tap-to-Earn” trend on Telegram in recent months. This is a form of “passive” gaming that is gaining popularity.

These games do not require users to constantly interact or complete complex tasks to earn money. Instead, they simply need to perform basic actions like tapping on the screen to accumulate points or assets. This model reduces the pressure on players and makes it easier for them to participate in the gaming environment without investing too much time or effort.

Following the success of blockbusters like Notcoin, DOGS, and Hamster Kombat, major exchanges are also entering this potential space. OKX was the first to catch the trend with a Bitcoin price prediction game in late July. Besides projects that have already issued tokens, many others are in preparation or have yet to announce their official token launch date.
