What Is Tomarket And When Is The TOMATO Airdrop?

The viral hype for Telegram-based tap-to-earn games is still in full swing, and more games are promising lucrative rewards for users spending hours on their phones simply tapping the screen. Tomarket or Tomarket Farms is the latest game climbing up the viral charts and building enthusiasm for its TOMATO token airdrop. 

Now, Tomarket has taken a slightly different and more creative route compared to the recent tap-to-earn titles. For instance, they used the recently underwhelming Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) token airdrop as a marketing campaign to provide 50,000 TOMATO token rewards for the so-called ‘failed Hamster CEOs’.

Also, the Tomarket gameplay is arguably more engaging and even fun compared to the recently airdroped games. So, what is Tomarket? When will the TOMATO token launch and airdrop? And is it safe to play? 

Let’s dive in. 

Key takeaways 

  • Tomarket is a Telegram-based game, where players earn $TOMATO tokens by tapping to harvest them hourly and playing a fruit-slicing mini-game. Referrals, daily check-ins, and completing tasks offer additional rewards​.
  • Its initial airdrop event took place on 2 September, in collaboration with Bigtet Wallet. There are still airdrop opportunities for players based on their in-game ranking and daily engagement.
  • The token is scheduled to launch in October. 

Tomarket gameplay features 

Tomarket is a tap-to-earn game launched on Telegram, where players can earn cryptocurrency through simple gameplay. It revolves around the collection of TOMATO tokens, which are accumulated by tapping on virtual items like tomatoes. The game integrates both a passive earning model and active gameplay, making it accessible to users across different experience levels.

How it works

Players begin by interacting with the Tomarket bot on Telegram and tapping to harvest TOMATO tokens. Every hour, users can collect 360 TOMATO tokens through a harvesting mechanism. In addition, they can engage in a fruit-slicing mini-game, which yields between 300 and 500 TOMATO tokens per 30-second session​.

Now, there are some unique aspects to its gameplay. When you start the game, endless tomatoes fall on your screen. You have around 15 to 30 seconds in each round to tap as many tomatoes as you can. But there are some fan challenges. Amid the endless tomatoes, there are small bombs, which will reduce your tokens/points if tapped accidentally. There are also snow flakes, which you can tap to freeze time and maximize your reward opportunities. So, these additional features make Tomarket slightly more fun and engaging that other tap-to-earn games.

The game also promotes social engagement through referrals, rewarding players with bonus tokens for inviting others to join. A daily check-in system offers further opportunities to earn, with escalating rewards that include additional game chances and mystery gift boxes​.

Key gameplay features:

  • Hourly harvesting: Users can grow and collect virtual tomatoes to earn TOMATO tokens.
  • Tomato drop Game: A 30-second fruit-slicing mini-game that offers additional rewards.
  • Referral bonuses: Users earn significant rewards for bringing friends into the game, with higher bonuses for Telegram Premium members.
  • Daily check-ins: Players receive escalating rewards, from tokens to mystery boxes and bonus gameplay chances, over a week of consecutive participation​.

The TOMATO tokens collected in the game are expected to convert into Tomarket’s official tokens, positioning users for future airdrops and other crypto benefits as the platform evolves.

When is the Tomarket (TOMATO) airdrop? 

Tomarket’s $TOMATO airdrop is currently ongoing and it started on 2 September 2024. The airdrop distribution is based on a “snapshot” taken on that date, capturing the TOMATO token balances of active participants. Those who have accumulated tokens through daily gameplay, check-ins, and referrals are eligible to receive a share of the 500 billion $TOMATO tokens being distributed​. 

The airdrop was launched in collaboration with Bitget Wallet, and it already distributed $20,000 worth of BWB tokens. However, there is still a chance. Users will get further rewards before its TGE and listing in October, based on their in-game level and daily engagement. Participants are encouraged to continue boosting their token holdings through gameplay and referrals to maximize their airdrop rewards.

As recently announced, the official date for the TGE is 31 October 2024.

Following the TGE and the second airdrop, the $TOMATO token is expected to be listed on exchanges like Bitget, which will increase liquidity and make trading more accessible to users. Speculation around the token’s initial value estimates it might start at approximately $0.001 per token, similar to Hamster Kombat’s $0.006 launch price, though this could fluctuate based on market conditions and user adoption. 

Is Tomarket safe to play? 

Tomarket appears to have gained significant attention, attracting millions of users since its launch, and it is backed by reputable entities like Bitget Wallet and Foresight Venture. However, it’s important to exercise caution with any Web3 or crypto-based platform. The safety of using Tomarket will largely depend on the security of your Telegram account and personal devices. Since the game is integrated into Telegram, ensuring your account is protected by strong authentication methods like two-factor authentication (2FA) is essential.

No platform is without risk, so always keep your tokens in secure wallets and avoid sharing sensitive information. The project’s transparent tokenomics and strong industry support suggest that it operates with a legitimate and clear business model, but staying informed on updates and potential security advisories is key.
