Kandr is a play-to-earn (P2E) game that operates as a mini-app on the Telegram platform, designed to provide players with financial rewards through interactive gameplay. ^[1] The project aims to create an experience where users can earn by participating in various in-game activities and engaging with partnered applications. ^[2]

Overview

Kandr launched on social media in September 2024 and is structured as a gaming project accessible through a Telegram bot. The core of the game is a task-based reward system where players complete daily activities and interact with partnered applications to earn the project's native token, KANDR. The gameplay also incorporates narrative elements, which are referenced in community quizzes about in-game lore, such as different crews and their respective leaders. The project identifies with Web3 and blockchain technologies, though specific details about the blockchain it operates on have not been publicly disclosed. ^[1]

The project uses its official Telegram channel as its primary method for community communication and announcements. As of late 2024, the channel had accumulated over 7,120 subscribers. The project has also designated specific contacts, Ronnie Foa and Yega, for handling collaboration inquiries. ^[2]

Products

The primary product offered by Kandr is its play-to-earn game, which is delivered as a Telegram mini-app bot. This application functions as the central hub for all gameplay, task management, and the distribution of rewards to players. Users access and interact with the game entirely within the Telegram interface. ^{[3] [1]}

Features

Kandr's gameplay is built around several features intended to incentivize regular user engagement. The platform includes a daily check-in system that allows players to claim rewards on a consistent basis. A daily login bonus is also implemented, which is reported to increase a player's rewards by 50% for maintaining an uninterrupted login streak. The central component of the game is its task section, where users can complete a variety of activities to earn KANDR tokens. These tasks often involve playing integrated games from partnered projects, directing user traffic to other applications within the ecosystem. ^[1]

Ecosystem

The Kandr ecosystem is established within the Telegram messaging application. It operates as a centralized platform that connects its user base with a network of other Telegram-based mini-apps. Through its task system, Kandr facilitates a cross-promotional network by directing its players to engage with partnered applications. This model allows users to earn KANDR tokens while simultaneously discovering and interacting with other projects that are part of the broader Telegram mini-app landscape. ^[1]
