Duckygram: a duck farm in Telegram

Think of a pocket pet, except there are lots of ducks and no two look alike. Duckygram is a collectible mini game in Telegram: hatch ducklings from eggs, breed them for rare traits and farm in-game $EGG tokens. 🦆

The app was featured as an Editors' Choice in Telegram's official app catalog under NFT collections. Everything is driven by visuals and buttons, so it is easy to pick up.

From egg to rare duck

1. Hatch a duckling. Every egg produces a duck with its own look and stats.
2. Build a collection. More ducks means more breeding options.
3. Breed pairs. Offspring inherit traits from both parents and can come out rare.
4. Farm $EGG. Ducks generate tokens, and rarer ones usually earn more.

It is the same loop that once made blockchain cat collecting a hit: genetics, rarity and the thrill of maybe getting a legendary.

Telegram gifts join the game

The twist is support for Telegram NFT gifts. If you own some, you can use them in the game to raise your ducks' rarity. 🎁

NFT gifts are upgraded Telegram gifts, each with a number and a one-of-a-kind look, and they can be transferred or sold. Before putting one into the game, find out if you keep it or if it gets used up.

Where $EGG stands

$EGG is the in-game token you farm. At the time of writing there is no confirmed launch of $EGG as a tradable coin. Mini app directories list the token launch as not happened, and no contract or price is public.

So for now $EGG works like game points. Whether it ever becomes a real cryptocurrency, and what it would be worth, nobody can promise.

A clear-eyed look at play-to-earn

• No guaranteed income. Plenty of Telegram tap and farm games never launched a token, or saw its price drop right away.
• Your time has value. If you play for money, count the hours and compare them with what you actually get.
• Spend only what you can lose. Do not put money or gifts into the game that you would miss.
• Watch for fakes. There are many duck-themed projects. Check the bot name and never connect a wallet to sites promising early airdrops.
• Never share a seed phrase. No game should ever ask for your wallet's secret words. ⚠️

Who will enjoy it

Collectors who like breeding and chasing rarity, people who already own Telegram NFT gifts and want a use for them, and anyone who treats the game as a hobby with tokens as a possible bonus rather than a paycheck. 🥚

The project posts news in its official channel, linked in the bot profile. Any token updates will show up there first.
