#XEmpire , an #ElonMusk -themed tap-to-earn game that has attracted over 50 million players in the last few months, announced Friday that it will launch its X token on The Open Network on October 24 and hold its airdrop to players on the same date.

The launch had been slightly delayed, as X Empire ended its ā€œmining phaseā€ on September 30 ahead of the apparently imminent drop. But two days later, the developers said that they had faced unexpected delays, and would launch a brief ā€œchill phaseā€ season to tide players over.

The ā€œchill phaseā€ season essentially reboots everyoneā€™s progress back to zero, and the X Empire team allocated an additional 5% of the token supply to reward those players who stick around to play during this mini-season of gameplay.

Overall, between the two phases, 75% of the total X token supply will be given away to players. Thatā€™s 517.5 billion tokens out of the 690 billion supply. The remaining tokens are reserved for ā€œnew users and the next phasesā€ following the airdrop, suggesting plans to continue the game following the token launch.

X Empire originally launched as ā€œMusk Empire,ā€ tasking players with tapping the screen to earn in-game coins, and then using those coins to upgrade the attributes of a cartoonish Elon Musk lookalike. The game rebranded a few weeks later, and has gradually introduced avatars based on other familiar crypto icons, such as Telegram CEO Pavel Durov and Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin.

Itā€™s arguably the hottest Telegram tap-to-earn game at the moment that hasnā€™t held its airdrop yet, following the Hamster Kombat drop on September 26. The TON network recently passed the milestone of 100 million unique wallets holding Toncoin (TON), up from around 4 million at the start of the year, due in large part to the crypto gaming craze.
