KuCoin AMA With Telgather Games (TOG) — How AI and Web3 are Shaping the Future of Casual Gaming on Social Platforms

Dear KuCoin Users,

 

Time: August 04, 2025, 10:00 AM - 11:16 AM (UTC)

KuCoin recently hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session in the KuCoin Exchange Group, featuring Ben, Operations Lead of Telgather Games.

Ben: Great question! Telgather is an AI-native Web3 game studio building social-first games directly inside viral platforms like Telegram and LINE. We’ve already onboarded over 18 million players with hit titles like Web3PvZ and BANANA, and we’re just getting started. Most Web3 games suffer from poor design, broken economies, and zero player retention. Telgather fixes that by creating fast, fun, and lightweight games that go viral, scale rapidly, and reward real player activity, not speculation. Backed by a multi-token ecosystem ($TOG, $esTOG) and a deep AI infrastructure that adapts to player behavior in real time, we’re redefining what scalable, social-first Web3 gaming looks like.

 

Q: Telgather calls itself an “AI-native game studio." What does that really mean in practice?

Ben: Most Web3 studios sprinkle AI buzzwords. We built our entire stack around it. From gameplay (adaptive enemies, dynamic quests) to operations (real-time ad targeting, emissions tuning). AI runs the show. It lets us launch games faster, personalize experiences deeper, & scale smarter & faster than anyone else in the space.

Q: What kind of games does Telgather launch, and how often are new ones released?

Ben: We aim to launch +12 games per year, spanning a variety of genres from PvZ-style defense games, to casual PvP, clan-based battle games, to idle progression systems and seasonal farming sims. All are built for quick play sessions, mobile-first design, and viral potential on social platforms like Line and TG.

 

Q: How does $TOG power the Telgather ecosystem?

Ben: Sure! $TOG, or Token of Games, is the central utility and rewards token of the Telgather ecosystem. It’s used across all games for purchasing Game Passes, unlocking exclusive items, joining high-tier competitions, and participating in seasonal reward cycles. It’s also tightly integrated with our multi-token model, which includes $esTOG (earned or staked $TOG) POG (Proof of Game -  Non-transferable rep system for rewards and competition) and Diamonds (in-game premium currency). This layered design allows casual players to progress without heavy spending while still creating strong utility and long-term value for $TOG holders. Plus, as our game ecosystem grows, $TOG becomes the fuel for more than just gameplay, it powers creator rewards, ecosystem grants, and future governance.

 

Q: How do you ensure long-term sustainability, especially with emissions and rewards?

 

Ben: AI manages emissions dynamically. If a game needs more engagement, rewards spike. If behavior looks botted, it gets cut. All reward logic, leaderboard auditing, and even item drops are controlled by real-time machine learning meaning smarter, non-linear distribution that keeps the economy alive!

Q: What does success look like for Telgather over the next 6–12 months?

 

Ben: A lot! We are just getting started. A thriving AI-native platform powering:

 

-Competitive seasons with $TOG rewards

-20+ live games across Telegram, LINE, and partner chains
-Millions of players earning, competing, and creating

-A top-tier DAO governing our seasonal design and token flow

And of course: liquidity, staking, & incentives for $TOG holders.

Q: With $TOG staking, $esTOG rewards, and on-chain governance that unlocks seasonal perks, how does Telgather ensure that your economic model remains fair, preventing large stakers from overpowering smaller players while still incentivizing active participation and sustainable token sinks?

Ben: Our ecosystem balances both sides with precision. While $TOG staking earns $esTOG and unlocks governance perks, rewards are performance-linked through POG our non-transferable proof-of-play system. So this means..... You can’t just stake to farm, you have to play and compete. Seasonal rewards are based on in-game performance, not just wallet size. It’s a system that rewards skill, time, and strategy....not just capital!

Q: What groundbreaking functionality does your project use to differentiate itself from other ecosystems? Is that cool enough to strongly be here next year?

Ben: One word: AI-native! I'll share a bit more about what that means. We don’t just slap an "AI" title on it....we run on it. Every system in Telgather is powered by machine learning.... Quests & missions adapt to your skill. Loot drops & rewards optimize per player. Plus, we distribute on Telegram, LINE, and other platforms. That’s how we’ve hit 18M+ users and counting...and yes, we’ll still be here next year, just 10x more games to play!

 

 

Q: Your project is fantastic and a great idea, and every project has an interesting story that precedes its creation. Can you tell us about the story, challenges, and difficulties that motivated you to build and develop a great project like Telgather Games?

Ben: We all know GameFi and web3 have had a rough start. We were tired of Web3 games being boring, broken, or unsustainable. Endless whitepapers, no players, and tokens with no purpose. So we flipped the model: build fun games first, then infuse AI and tokenomics where it actually matters. Challenges? Tons! LOL! Scaling to 10M+ users without App Stores. There is a constant list of challenges we are having to solve daily. But the team is passionate about gaming....so here we are!

 

Q: What are the key milestones on Telgather Games roadmap, both things you have already achieved and things that we can look forward to? Any partnerships and short/long term technical milestones that you want to talk about or bring some attention to?

Ben: Some Achievements: 18M+ players onboarded over 10M players on our game Banana. 1.2M players on Web3PvZ in 7 days.

Partnerships: We are working heavily in the APAC region...as that is where a majority of gamers reside. But are working with gaming guilds, and constantly at gaming events! Keep a look out for you.

Coming next:

 

- Game Pass airdrops + Game Portal Seasons

- Cross-game NFT marketplace

- Seasonal PvP + reward resets

- DAO onboarding & AI Agent governance

And yes...more platform collabs and major APAC partnerships (can’t leak yet).

 

Q: Do you plan to expand into VR, AR, or AI-integrated gaming in the future?

Ben: Yes to all! We’re exploring AR-driven event layers, voice-based agent interactions, and hyper-personalized gaming with persistent AI NPCs. More to come on that soon!

Q: The gaming sector is extremely competitive & many platforms had to work very hard to reach their current user numbers. How will Telgather Games team compete with the existing gaming platforms & what extra will it offer to get the gamers from the existing platforms?

 

Ben: Easy: we go where no one else is! Most Web3 games are stuck on browser, we’re native to Telegram & LINE. Plus, we’ve already launched multiple games and have the infrastructure to ship more.

Q: I'm curious about the "identity-linked agents." Can you elaborate more on that? Is this related to persistent AI characters or wallets?

 

Ben: Great question. These are persistent AI agents...like Dr.Pump (Web3PvZ) who evolve with your gameplay and wallet behavior. We are not building chatbots, but agents that run missions, deliver custom drops, talk to you in voice, and adapt to your decisions. Over time, players will build relationships with these agents...your agent becomes part of your identity across the Telgather universe.

 

Q: In a year, what would ‘massive success’ look like for Telgather? Do you want to be the ‘Steam of Telegram games,’ or are you looking beyond that into full metagame ecosystems?

Ben: Great question! Sometimes you’re so busy building, its good to look and see what’s been built. Success is Telgather becoming the Steam of Telegram & LINE gaming? LFG!

- A fully AI-powered platform with 50M+ users

- Seasonal loops driven by player governance

- NFT economies and agent-based DAOs

- Interconnected games with shared assets and evolving metas

I personally would love to have an agent game builder, where the community can build out their own games. Just some quick thoughts.

 

Q: Can casual mini-games like Web3PvZ retain long-term users without deep narratives or gameplay progression?

 

Ben: Causal gaming is around to stay. The Web2 PvZ had years of gameplay and new games rolled out. Some of our games will be stand alone, meaning 1 season, but some will have multiple seasons. We are already on season 2 of PvZ.

Q: So, for someone just opening one of your games, what’s the typical gameplay experience like in the first 60 seconds? What are some mini-games live right now, and which one would you say is the most addictive?

 

Ben: Sooooo....I am not a mobile gamer. When I first started playing Web3PvZ....literally took me 10 seconds to understand. So really easy to onboard for non-web3 people. You can always connect your wallet later. PvZ would be the one I prob play the most, easy to do when commuting to work.

Q: Can you explain, which one is your top priority? Security, Product, Partnership, or Token price?

 

Ben: All of the above.  Security is a must. Partnerships is how our ecosystem grows. If the product is bad, there are no players. Token price attracts more people to our project.

Q: The staking  programme is very important for any project?  Can I stake your token? Do you have any plans to start a staking programme??

 

Ben: All post TGE activities will be announced accordingly. Please follow us to find out more.

Q: Will there be an official level or profession for Pro Tournament Players in Telgather Games in the future? And if so, what functions will the $TOG token serve?

 

Ben: I would love that. A little more challenging for mobile games. But there are some events we go to that focus on mobile gaming. Def something I would like to do.

Q: I want to know if your $TOG token is still available on any exchange? How can I buy your $TOG tokens?

 

Ben: Kucoin is the primary listing, follow our socials for further updates.

Q: Is the Telgather game only supported on PC devices? Many games don't support mobiles, and that reduces the attraction of many players around the world. Will it be compatible with Android devices and also iOS? Will it be released first in the desktop version or mobile version?

 

Ben: We are pure mobile development. We do have talks about rolling out an AAA title, but let's see!

Q: According to the roadmap, what is your most important next priority?

 

Ben: MORE GAMESSSSS!
