Pudgy Penguins debuts play-to-win game on TON

Telegram mini-games reached a zenith in 2024, but the TON blockchain still averages over 2.1 million active wallets.

Pudgy Penguins is launching a skill-based Web3 game called Pengu Clash for The Open Network (TON) blockchain, joining the competitive mini-game space.

According to Pudgy Penguins, the game will operate under a play-to-win model, allowing players to compete and be rewarded for game mastery rather than speculation. “Play-to-win, in essence, is a skill-based game,” Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz told Cointelegraph.

“Users wager against one another vs play-to-earn, [in which] you’re earning tradable currency that the game provides.
