**IRVINE, US, June 13th, 2024/GamingWire/**Maincard.io, the leading Web3 sports fantasy card game, proudly announces its launch on the mainnet of TON blockchain. This milestone marks a significant leap forward in revolutionizing the sports betting industry with blockchain technology, providing a seamless and engaging gaming experience for millions of Telegram users worldwide.

Innovating Fantasy Sports Games on TON Blockchain

Since January 2024, Maincard has been diligently developing its platform on TON blockchain in the test network, a recognition of the potential for mass adoption within TON ecosystem. The goal was to transfer most of the game's functionality, which is already available on the Polygon blockchain, and include exclusive features for TON blockchain.

In March 2024, Maincard was accepted into TON Foundation accelerator program from a pool of 170 applicants, validating its potential and opening up investment opportunities within TON ecosystem, including access to a $2 million funding pool from TON Ventures.

Val Makovetskii, CEO and founder of Maincard, remarked about the launch on TON:

"TON makes mass adoption of blockchain as easy as opening your Telegram app, by providing access to nearly a billion potential users and a reliable infrastructure to build on, we can expand and improve everyday."

Commenting on the launch, Inal Kardan, Gaming Lead at TON Foundation, noted:

"We are delighted to welcome Maincard to TON ecosystem. The Maincard team has done extensive work in the testnet to launch their application on TON and within Telegram, and we are thrilled to see them moving to the mainnet. The launch of products like Maincard is another step towards achieving the mass adoption of Web3 products and services. The Maincard team’s successful completion of TON Foundation Acceleration Program demonstrates their ability to create high-quality products for millions of users on Telegram."

During the first airdrop, Maincard community members received 5,200 TON tokens, valued at around $35,000 at the time of distribution.
