Players can spend those earned assets on in-game purchases or even trade them on some blockchain platforms if such coins have a listing. Can’t be a secret that the earning part of such games is what makes them so popular, as many clickers even introduce their own digital wallets!

The technology unifies the trading functionality across various projects in Telegram Mini Apps, so players can actually manage their tokens gathered from many games in one place.
