Telegram game Tomarket has been in the spotlight for crypto gamers in recent weeks with the build-up to its announced token generation event (TGE) on October 31 and subsequent airdrop. But after the game revealed airdrop allocations on Friday, players are still waiting to get their hands on the actual token.
As planned, Tomarket told players Friday how many tokens they’d earned during the farming phase, which was based on factors such as how many in-game tomatoes they earned and whether or not they’d purchased the optional premium medal booster.
But the airdrop still hasn’t technically taken place, as players can’t actually withdraw or trade the TOMA token just yet. If you tap the “Withdraw” button in the Telegram mini app, Tomarket tosses up a message that says: “Listing soon… go stake and earn more TOMA!”

In other words, Tomarket has entered another farming phase instead of fully launching the token. Furthermore, the game still hasn’t revealed how many tokens are in the total supply, only saying that 80% of that unknown supply will be directed towards the airdrop.
Decrypt asked a Tomarket representative for details on the impending token listing to enable trading, as well as the total token supply, but did not immediately receive that info.
Prominent Telegram crypto game Tomarket will launch its TOMA token on the Aptos network this week, following a late-breaking shift from The Open Network (TON). It’s almost time for players to reap what they have sown in the tomato-themed game, as the token is set to start trading soon.
Tomarket has split its airdrop into at least three events. One already took place on October 31, but users could not withdraw or trade their tokens—this was more akin to revealing token allocations ahead of the ai...
Amid confusion over the airdrop and token launch, some Tomarket players have already started griping about the expected value of their airdrops based on pre-market trading prices, echoing the response seen to Telegram games like Hamster Kombat and X Empire.
Others have claimed that they were incorrectly found to be ineligible for the airdrop due to alleged cheating. Tomarket’s team said in a Telegram post that they will review such claims, and adjust allocations in the coming week as needed.
