The Telegram team has shared details about TON Punks, a collection of 9,999 NFTs inspired by Ethereum’s CryptoPunks, built on the TON blockchain. The project aims to combine art, gaming mechanics, and community interaction.
TON Punks Highlights
According to the creators, TON Punks is more than just digital art — it’s an entire ecosystem featuring play-to-earn mechanics accessible directly within Telegram. The collection unifies art, gaming economy, and community in a unified metaverse. It is backed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and the PUNK token, which supports user interaction and ecosystem growth.
The TON Punks team comprises developers, designers, marketers, and managers who are building an ecosystem aligned with the project’s mission and roadmap. Their goal is to create not just an NFT collection, but also a community in which participants collectively determine the project’s development.
TON Punks is described as the first fully on-chain NFT collection on the TON blockchain. According to the announcement, it symbolizes “Digital Resistance” values, emphasizing decentralization and self-expression through unique avatars.
PUNK Token: Features and Acquisition
At the heart of the ecosystem is the PUNK token, the internal currency for TON Punks’ applications. It incentivizes users and fuels the project’s economy, enabling participants to engage with the DAO, earn rewards, and be part of its governance process.
TON Punks extends into play-to-earn gaming mechanics. One popular ecosystem game, Cubes?, has attracted more than 5.7 million users.
Currently, PUNK is only available on the Ston.fi decentralized exchange — the largest TON DEX. Users can acquire tokens by selecting an amount of TON and performing an instant swap.
Future Plans
The TON Punks creators promise ongoing updates and new features. While specifics are yet to be disclosed, the team stresses that the project’s success hinges on maintaining community interest through consistent development and the introduction of new functionalities.
