The program offers game studios free traffic and analytics tools, along with mentorship from gaming industry veterans and web3 experts.

Applications for the upcoming cohort are open until December 16, with rolling consideration of submissions.

Gaming activity on messaging platforms has shown significant market potential, with WeChat games generating $2.3 billion in revenue during the first half of 2024.

Recent Telegram-based games like Notcoin and Catizen have already reached millions of users.

The accelerator aims to capitalize on emerging technologies, including AI for more efficient game development and WebGL for enhanced browser-based gaming capabilities.

The initiative comes as Telegram signals readiness for midcore games, which typically offer deeper engagement and broader monetization opportunities.

Helika brings gaming analytics expertise from working with both web3 companies like Proof of Play and Parallel, as well as traditional gaming companies including Com2Us and Ubisoft.

Notcoin contributes its experience in Telegram and TON blockchain development, having pioneered tap-to-earn games on the platform.

Teams interested in participating can submit applications through gaming.tg.
