Elon Musk-themed Telegram game “X Empire” returns with more rewards ahead of airdrop

In an unexpected twist, the prominent Telegram crypto game X Empire– formerly known as Musk Empire – has launched a new mini-season ahead of the airdrop, giving players another chance to secure a share of tokens before launch.

It's unexpected because on Monday X Empire dropped its game – described as finishes its initial mining phase– before the planned token launch and Airdropwhich are now expected to appear in the second half of October.

But with the new “Chill Phase,” X Empire players can still tap into their avatar – be it inspired by Elon Musk or not – and unlock various upgrades. However, all character progression has been reset, meaning you would essentially start the game over again during this shortened play time.

The “Chill Phase” allows players to compete against each other to earn a share of the additional 34.5 billion tokens newly carved out for players from the total token supply. In one Telegram announcementThe developers said that the rewards have been calculated for the initial phase and that any progress made (or not made) during the chill phase will have no impact on these allocations.

70% of the planned total supply of 690 billion X-Tokens is still allocated to the first mining phase. Now, an additional 5% of the supply will be allocated to “chill phase” players, coming from the 30% of tokens originally allocated to “new users and next phases.”

The late shift occurs before the token generation event The open network (TON), with the full 75% of the offer being offered to eligible players. This is expected to take place in the “second half of October”, with an exact date to be announced in the coming days.

“This phase will be very short and will only last a few weeks,” X Empire continued social media. “Whether you take part or not is entirely up to you. We love you either way.”

The topic of Elon Musk Tap to Earn The game completed its mining phase on Tuesday and said it had attracted nearly 48 million players. These players also minted 570,000 NFT vouchers making this possible pre-market trading for the X token before its official launch.

These NFTs each represent 69,000 X tokens is currently trading for about 3.5 TONNE ($19). This number has remained largely stable since tokenomics was announced. However, pre-market trading can be particularly risky as traders speculate on the price of a soon-to-be-released token despite a number of unknown factors.

September was a big month for Telegram games reached the end of their tap-to-earn cycles, with Catizen, Rocky RabbitAnd Hamster Kombat Everyone releases tokens. As these games try to reinvent themselves to keep players interested, it seems that X Empire will remain in the pre-airdrop phase for at least a while longer.
