Tonique: Smeshariki meet TON

Smeshariki is one of the best loved Russian cartoons, a round little cast of characters many people grew up with. Tonique is its official Telegram Mini App: games, leaderboards, points for activity and collectible NFTs on the TON blockchain 🐰

It was built by the team behind two seasons of the Smeshariki NFT collection. More than 420,000 people have opened it so far.

What you get inside

• Mini games. Simple arcade games with the cartoon characters, like jumping over cacti for bonus points.
• Points. Earned daily for activity, with rewards you can share with friends.
• Leaderboards. See how you stack up against other players.
• NFTs and gifts. The app features Smeshariki collections and related mechanics.

The creators describe Tonique as a game center with prizes and mention a future token airdrop for active users.

Rockets, seasons and collections

The most unusual mechanic involves NFTs. You could pair a Season 1 Smesharik with a rocket and receive a rare Season 2 NFT 🚀

Rockets were sold in a Dutch auction, where the price started high and dropped by 4 TON every hour. Season 2 holders were promised a share of Tonique marketplace fees, a vote on the plot of a new episode and partner gifts.

A similar setup followed for Fixiki, another cartoon from the same studio, with a game, bonuses and early access for collection holders.

Points versus NFTs

Points are free. You earn them from games, daily check ins and inviting friends. Their value depends entirely on whether the project runs the promised airdrop, and on what terms.

NFTs cost real money in TON. They are digital collectibles, and their resale price can rise or fall close to zero. Promised holder perks also depend on the project staying active 📉

Starting out without regrets

1. Open the Mini App with the button below.
2. Play for free for a few days and collect points.
3. Check which offers are still live. Many promotions were time limited and may have ended.
4. Buy NFTs only if you love the collection, not to flip them or chase promised returns.
5. Connect a wallet carefully and read every request before you approve it.

Who it is for

Tonique suits Smeshariki fans and people who collect NFTs on TON. Kids can enjoy the games, but NFT purchases and wallet connections are best left to adults 🎮

Activity is much lower now than at the peak. Before spending anything, check the official channel and make sure news is still coming out and the promised features work.
