WATCoin's Role in the Toncoin Ecosystem
Holders of WAT tokens can utilize them in various scenarios within the Watbird app. The primary use is that WAT tokens work proportionally with the app's rank, meaning higher ranks lead to more perks, such as airdrops and premium access. Additionally, holders can purchase limited collectibles, allowing them to customize their game perks.
Popularity of WatBird and Its Backing
The WatBird X account has recently gathered a significant number of followers, approaching nearly 1 million. In contrast, the Telegram account boasts over 4.4 million subscribers. The WatBird platform is backed by notable Web 3 investors, including Binance Labs, Ton Foundation, The Sandbox, Mocaverse, and Animoca Brands. Rapid growth has been aided by community members who engage in NFT mining and token staking.
Animoca Brands' investment has provided a new impetus for the development of WATcoin and the WatBird app within the Toncoin ecosystem. Continued support from the blockchain company may foster further growth and integration of the token.
