Binance has announced the upcoming release of “Moonbix,” a new play-to-earn (P2E) game on Telegram’s Mini App, according to a Sept. 17 post on X.

Moonbix is a Binance crypto-themed game that lets players explore galaxies, collect items, and boost their scores. In videos shared on X, users can be seen controlling a spaceship equipped with a claw-like tool that allows them to collect items like yellow stones and gifts scattered across the galaxy.

These items hold in-game value, and collecting them helps players climb the leaderboard. Based on their progress, top performers earn crypto rewards.

Binance stated that the game leaked ahead of schedule as the application was still being fine-tuned to deliver the best possible experience upon the official launch. It added: 

“We apologize for any inconvenience, and we’re reviewing individual cases for users affected. We truly appreciate your patience, and the official release will be announced soon!”

The exchange also urged users to remain cautious of impersonation accounts and advised them to rely on official Binance channels for updates.

As of press time, Binance had released the Terms and Conditions for its Telegram Mini App.

Telegram Mini Apps

Telegram Mini Apps (TMAs) are web-based applications running within Telegram, introduced in 2023. Since then, TMAs have seen huge success, with 500 million of Telegram’s 950 million users engaging with them monthly.

Popular apps like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat have contributed to this surge. Hamster Kombat, in particular, snowballed, gaining over 300 million users since its launch in March 2024.

The rise of these apps has further supported crypto adoption, aided by Telegram’s integration with The Open Network (TON), one of the top-performing blockchains this year.
