X Empire to Launch Token and Airdrop on TON Network Tomorrow

The highly anticipated X Empire token launch is set to take place on The Open Network (TON) on October 24 at 12pm UTC, along with a major airdrop for its massive player base. The game, themed around Elon Musk, has captivated millions, with over 50 million players participating during its final phase.

While around 6 million players are eligible for the airdrop, others who missed out have vented their frustrations, even mistakenly directing complaints to Musk himself, despite his lack of involvement in the game. Nevertheless, eligible players can soon claim their X tokens, with multiple options for withdrawing their rewards.

How to Claim the X Empire Airdrop

Now that X Empire has paused gameplay, players logging into the Telegram mini app will find their earned tokens displayed in a prominent orange box. Below this, users can either donate tokens to charity, Pavel Durov, or the X Empire team, though donated tokens will not be sent to their wallets. For those choosing to claim their tokens, several withdrawal options are available, including popular centralized exchanges (such as OKX, Bybit, and Bitget), the Telegram Wallet app, and self-custody wallets. Notably, withdrawing to the Telegram Wallet app or exchanges won’t incur fees, while self-custody wallet users will face minimal network charges, averaging just $0.02 on TON.

To claim tokens through centralized exchanges, users must first create accounts and complete the required KYC process. Players can then withdraw their tokens by entering their ID and deposit address in X Empire’s app. On-chain and Telegram wallet withdrawals will follow a similar process without the need for KYC.

For NFT holders who purchased pre-market trading assets, the X Empire mini app provides an easy guide to redeeming NFTs for X tokens.

What Can You Do with the X Token?

As with many tokens, selling is an option, though the exact value of X remains uncertain. Pre-market trading on platforms like Bitget and KuCoin estimates the token’s value at approximately $0.0002, though this is speculative, and actual market prices may vary after the token is generated.

Beyond selling, X token holders will soon benefit from X Empire’s expanding ecosystem. Several mini app partners, including Memes Lab and play-to-earn game Staff Only, plan to airdrop tokens to active X holders, with 2% of their token supplies reserved for rewards.

X Empire itself is gearing up for a broader suite of "utility apps" that will integrate the token, ranging from a news feed to language learning and sleep tracking apps. Additionally, the game’s tap-to-earn component is expected to return in some form, with 25% of the total token supply set aside for future users and gameplay phases.

The third phase of X Empire is still to be announced, but with the success of previous Telegram tap-to-earn games like Hamster Kombat, which revamped itself with a fresh game concept, X Empire is likely to follow a similar path to keep players engaged.

For now, the spotlight is on the upcoming token launch and airdrop, with many eager to see how X Empire evolves from here.
