10 USDT for 1,000 tokens? A look at the BOOMS Telegram clicker

Notcoin’s successful listing in May 2024 catalysed a wave of Telegram clicker games. New projects launch every month: some reimagine familiar tapper mechanics, like Hamster Kombat, while others dispense with them (Dogs).

One of the newcomers is BOOMS. Its creators held a welcome airdrop and declared a price of 10 USDT per 1,000 BOOMS. Here is a look at the project and the developers’ plans for a token listing.

A new, friendly clicker

Launch the BOOMS mini-app and you are greeted by a classic clicker interface in which you level up a virtual bull.

You earn points by tapping the screen or completing simple tasks such as following the project’s social accounts or inviting friends. The game has ten levels; at the time of writing only three players had reached the last one.

The home screen also carries the developers’ main slogan: “1k BOOMS = 10 USDT”.

Important: users earn in-game points, not BOOMS. It is currently unknown how these will convert into tokens.

The game offers familiar boosts that speed up point farming. In the Boosts section you can restore energy spent on tapping and increase its cap. Multi-tap — increasing points per tap — is also available.

In the “Rewards” tab, the game grants additional points for daily visits — from 1,000 to 15 million points over 15 days.

The “Wallet” shows the number of earned tokens, which can be converted into Toncoin (TON), and the current BOOMS rate against TON.

Several sections remain under development, including the “Investments” tab.

Listing plans

The BOOMS roadmap is published on the game’s official website. It comprises seven stages.

On 2 September the BOOMS team announced the launch of the “Trading Tournaments” section and held the first competition, First Cup, with a prize pool of 2 billion points. On 3 September, the Global Test tournament took place to celebrate 15 million registered users of the app.

Also in September, the team plans to launch the “Investments” section (stage #4). The rollout of further functions is tied to the number of active users: the more players, the faster the developers move to the next stage.

Once the mini-app reaches 1–10 million daily users, the team will begin stage five: it will publish tokenomics, issue the BOOMS token, launch a USDT 1 million liquidity pool on a decentralised exchange and add staking support.

In effect, only from that point will the market begin to determine BOOMS’s real price.

The main airdrop and listings on centralised exchanges will come after daily players increase to 10–100 million. Roughly three months later, the team will unveil the project’s central idea.

“At last we will reveal what the BOOMS project is all about! NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE: Hold your BOOMS tight so you don’t regret it!”, ― the game’s roadmap says.

Takeaways

The listings of Dogs and Notcoin showed that Telegram clickers can yield profits without any investment beyond time and attention.

BOOMS’ leitmotif is the goal “10 USDT per 1,000 tokens”, but the conversion rate from points is still unknown. No one can predict how BOOMS will trade after listing.

Even so, the clicker’s creators ask for nothing but faith in the project’s success. That seems to be what drives more than 15 million users to open the app and level up their in-game bull.
