Blockchain and AI gaming company Anomaly has hit 300,000 users within a week of launching its Telegram bot. The company's testnet campaign generated over 120,000 NFT mints from unique wallets before the public launch.
First, More About Anomaly
Anomaly is a Layer-3 AI gaming platform built for Telegram that uses AI for player-model training, matchmaking, automated quest creation, and in-game asset generation.
The platform's AI-powered SDK lets developers build and deploy mini-games directly on social platforms like Telegram and Discord. Anomaly has partnered with Atari and Zed Run, targeting the friction points that slow down traditional web3 game development.

- Dicestone: A dice game where you play against AI opponents.
- Anomaly Pinball: Classic pinball with leaderboard competition.
- Wildstone (Upcoming): A card game mixing traditional mechanics with AI.
