X Empire, a Telegram-based tap-to-earn game, has introduced pre-market trading through NFT vouchers ahead of its anticipated token launch and airdrop.
The game, originally known as Musk Empire, has taken a distinct approach, allowing players to mint NFTs on The Open Network (TON) and trade them on the Getgems marketplace.

This method mirrors the strategy used by Notcoin, another tap-to-earn game. Notcoin previously allowed players to cash out a portion of their earned coins via NFT vouchers, which could be traded on the same marketplace.
However, X Empire differs in one significant way: while Notcoin offered a clear conversion rate between in-game coins and its token, X Empire has added more complexity to its gameplay.
Players can now use their earned coins not only for tapping but also for upgrading avatars, betting on fictitious stocks, and engaging in rock-paper-scissors style negotiations.
This makes the airdrop allocation more uncertain, and the developers have not yet clarified how it will be determined.
Although the process of minting NFT vouchers is optional, it involves certain costs. Players must pay gas fees on the TON network, and the developers take a 20% royalty fee from all secondary market trades.
Despite the launch of these vouchers, only one has been sold so far, fetching 7 TON (about $36). The token, called X, will have a total supply of 690 billion on TON. X Empire’s mining phase is set to end on September 30, with the token airdrop expected soon after.
In conclusion, while X Empire’s approach may appeal to some, the lack of clarity around airdrop allocations leaves room for scepticism.
