The OKX exchange is not slowing down and is entering the gaming industry. It is not about full-fledged gaming with a capital “G”, but about a mini-application on Telegram. OKS Racer is a simple clicker game that challenges the player. Correct prediction of the BTC rate allows you to win prizes.
OKX Racer – a mini-game on Telegram from the OKX exchange
OKX is the first major centralized cryptocurrency exchange to release a mini-app on Telegram, capitalizing on a trend that has made the platform (with some 900 million users) a popular place to play tap-to-earn games like Hamster Kombat, Notcoin, and Yescoin, apps with the potential to earn cryptocurrencies via the TON blockchain.
Like those simple clicker games, OKX Racer is also a simple concept. The game offers players the choice of whether the price of bitcoin will rise (“moon”) or fall (“doom”) in the next five seconds. The more correct answers a player gets, the more points they earn, with additional multipliers for additional correct answers. Players can also earn referral rewards and use points to upgrade their game, according to the company. According to Jason Lau, OKX’s chief innovation officer:
Telegram’s mini-app platform is quickly becoming a must-have for those looking to engage with the crypto community. At OKX, we aim to embrace easy-to-use, interoperable, and accessible platforms that cultivate communities, encourage participation, and provide entertainment. OKX Racer is our first foray into Telegram’s mini-apps, and we hope it resonates with users and adds value to the growing community.
Will Gamification Encourage Users to Track BTC Price?
It has long been known that gamification, or the entanglement of games and achievements in simple and seemingly uninvolving activities, can effectively diversify time. In the case of cryptocurrencies, just watching the rate can be extremely exciting, especially for traders. The OKX Racer game can be a great way to attract a large number of people to follow the BTC price. The OKX exchange has therefore created a very clever application from a strategic point of view, because it has great potential to bring new users to the exchange.
