Players claimed their $WOOF airdrop in January 2025, and WOOF launched on January 17, 2025, on Bitget and the TON exchange STON.fi. Bitget delisted it on May 15, 2025. The team has since run other Telegram games with WOOF rewards, most recently Lost Dogs: Signals in February 2026. Sources: Lost Dogs posts on the claim, the listing and the delisting.
Disclaimer: Crypto airdrops are promotional events where tokens are distributed to existing holders of a cryptocurrency or to individuals who meet certain criteria. While airdrops can be a way to acquire tokens at no cost, they also involve risks. There’s no guarantee that the airdropped tokens will increase in value, and there may be associated fees or requirements. Additionally, airdrops can be susceptible to scams and phishing attempts. Always exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any airdrop opportunity before participating.
Key Takeaways
- Lost Dogs: The Way is a unique, story-driven Telegram game developed by Notcoin that offers players an engaging experience while introducing innovative gameplay mechanics.
- Unlike traditional clicker games, the game focuses on player interaction and decision-making by joining “Squads” communities to collaborate and strategize.
- The game’s narrative unfolds based on collective choices, making each player’s contribution impactful.
What Is Lost Dogs?
In August 2024, Notcoin announced a new story-driven game called “Lost Dogs: The Way,” developed in collaboration with TON blockchain projects Lost Dogs Co and Getgems. This decision came as Notcoin recognized that its tap-to-earn model was unsustainable for long-term growth.
The game integrated Notcoin’s $NOT tokens, Lost Dogs NFTs, and a new in-game currency called $WOOF, offering a unique narrative-driven gaming experience on Telegram.
How Players Qualified For The Airdrop
In this airdrop campaign, the Telegram-based game involved making critical decisions that affect the narrative and the dogs’ journey to find a new home. Players’ choices, which have ethical implications, drive the story forward, offering a rich and interactive experience.
Depending on the day’s rules, the choices can be the most popular, least popular, or average among all players. The winning decisions earn players $NOT and $WOOF tokens from a general pool. The $WOOF token was an in-game currency at first. It became a TON blockchain-based token when it launched on January 17, 2025.
It is also worth noting that the game’s main story ran for six weeks and ended on September 11, 2024.
