Not Research Contest: Results

You looked deeper. Beyond trends, beyond speculation

Some traced the roots of Notcoin
Some mapped its pulse, its movement, its meaning
Some saw what wasn’t there, until they made it real

Words turned into blueprints. Data became vision

Each piece revealed something new for us

This is madness, really

From the first entry, it was clear: this wasn’t just a contest

This was a community of explorers, each seeing "probably nothing" in their own way

Notcoin is more than what’s on the surface

You proved it

Now, the best stand out:

Tier 1: 6M $NOT
Tier 2: 2.5M $NOT
Tier 3: 1M $NOT
Tier 4: 500k $NOT

Thank you, everyone

Not AI Games

We’re excited to announce the next game dev challenge for TWA games

Think bold, build fast. Use AI as your main co-dev: code, art, mechanics, storytelling, etc. Not a rule, but definitely a power move

How to participate

– Create an MVP of your TWA game or a detailed design concept
– Launch a private Telegram channel for your submission
– Share your private channel with us via invite link
– Submit your work and trust the universe

The secret sauce

We’ll be looking at how naturally players connect with your game – fun, vibe, and real spark matter most

Think about your in-game economy – depth and sustainability are key

Build with the Telegram platform in mind – social features, user flows, and platform-native ideas will be big advantages

Tips
– Use AI in your development process
– Redefine what's possible, creativity and originality matter
– Keep your game engaging and fun
– Make it social: squads, leaderboards, achievements, multiplayer, co-op

Rewards

– 12M in Notcoin (~$30,000)
– Featured launch on Not Games platform

Deadline: May 18

Make something you love, make something different

Let's redefine gaming, together
