The rise of Web3 gaming has brought various innovative platforms in the market that reward users for engaging with simple yet addictive games. The latest entrant in this space is Dropee, a simple tap-to-earn game on Telegram that is now capturing the attention of casual gamers and crypto enthusiasts. With its easy-to-use interface, rewarding ecosystem, and focus on community engagement, Dropee is redefining how we perceive Telegram-based gaming.
Let’s find out all ins-and-outs on Dropee and whether it will come out as a top Telegram game even after the dawn of the Hamster Kombat game and tap-to-earn era.
Dropee is a blockchain-powered tap-to-earn game hosted on Telegram where players earn cryptocurrency by participating in various activities. The game combines simplicity and fun with tangible rewards, making it an attractive choice for both gaming enthusiasts and those looking to explore crypto earning opportunities.
At its core, Dropee functions around tapping actions that complete various tasks and challenges. The better your performance, the more in-game tokens you would earn. These tokens can be later used within the game’s ecosystem to level-up cards and increase hourly profit.
As of November 29, Dropee has managed to accumulate over 8 million players in just three months of its launch. Surpassing this milestone in such a short period of time suggests that Dropee is becoming an increasingly popular telegram game among the crypto community.
To start playing Dropee, all you need is a Telegram account. Simply search for the Dropee bot or join via this link. Once set-up, click “Launch” and follow the onboarding instructions. The game is designed to be beginner-friendly, requiring no prior knowledge of the blockchain and crypto sector.
The primary action in Dropee are as below:
Dropee rewards players with its native in-game token for completing activities. These tokens would be converted into cryptocurrency in future when the team decides to launch airdrop.
Airdrops have become a hallmark of Telegram-based Tap-to-Earn games with many platforms using them to reward their most loyal and active players. Dropee – with its growing user base and vibrant ecosystem – is also expected to follow this trend. With the app having completed three months since its launch, speculation is building around a potential Dropee airdrop in 2025.
Joining Dropee at this time could be an excellent opportunity for players who have been consistently engaging with the game to reap substantial rewards. By participating actively, players can position themselves to benefit from what promises to be an exciting milestone in Dropee’s journey.
Dropee exemplifies how Web3 gaming can merge simplicity with innovation. Since the sunset of the Hamster Kombat era, several telegram games have seen a drastic drop in active players. Now it seems that Dropee is taking the charge to bring tap-to-earn games back into the market.
Its user-friendly interface, rewarding mechanics, and commitment to creating a fun and engaging environment make it a strong contender in the gaming niche. It also offers a unique opportunity to play, earn, and grow in the ever-expanding blockchain gaming ecosystem. With this in mind, let’s hope that Dropee will revive the crypto gaming sector and reward players fairly at the end.

Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce’s new project is a total touchdown.
The couple, who recently announced they are expecting their fourth baby girl, put their musical chops on display as they dueted on the holiday song “Loud Little Town.” Co-written by Jason and Brandon Beaver, the lyrics tell the story of a couple growing old together as they celebrate the holidays year after year.
“You’re my Northern Star in the darkest of night,” Jason sang, “Saying, ‘Hey, we did alright somehow.’”
The accompanying music video, released Nov. 27, featured clips of the couple’s daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 21 months, smiling and playing as their parents recorded the tune with a live band. The video also featured animated sequences depicting the family spending Christmas together as their daughters grow up.
Jason celebrated the release of the song with a personal message on social media, reminding fans what the holidays are all about.
In the town of Utqiaġvik, Alaska, the winters can be particularly brutal. The average temperature of the northernmost town in the U.S. in December rests below zero, and the city undergoes the unique experience of polar night—which for them is a period of more than 60 days of darkness when the residents live without daylight. Utqiaġvik Mayor Asisaun Toovak says that most days people don’t venture outside.
But that time of year is still the season she most looks forward to, as the town also has polar days, or 24-hour daylight, from May through about August. “Finally being able to go, okay, the sun’s going down, [I’m] kind of looking forward to it. I feel that it’s time for some good rest,” says Toovak.
This year, Utqiaġvik will experience their final sunset of 2024 on Nov. 18. They won’t witness the sun again until Jan. 22, 2025.
Polar night is best explained as a period where “the sun remains below the horizon for more than 24 hours,” says Jennifer Mercer, the arctic sciences section head at the National Science Foundation. The phenomenon is caused by the Earth’s axial tilt of about 23.5 degrees. Polar nights occur in both poles during their winter months, in the northern hemisphere from September to March, and in the southern hemisphere from March to September. Alongside parts of Alaska–Canada, Greenland, Finland Norway, and Russia, also experience polar nights. Antarctica is the only place that experiences it in the southern hemisphere.
The further south or north you go, the longer polar night occurs. “In the South Pole, the season when the sun is up,” or daylight happens for 24 hours is about six months, Petrov says. By contrast, the Equator experiences 12 hours of daylight, with small variations, year-round.
Since Utqiaġvik is located north of the Arctic Circle, it looks away from the sun. While the sun will not rise as it typically does for the rest of the Earth, it is not pitch black. What they experience during the day is twilight—when the sun is sitting just below the horizon.
“Total darkness only occurs when the sun is below the horizon far enough that there is no twilight,” says Mercer.
Toovak says that it still can be a bit bright during the day, and describes it more so as a permanent cloudiness. And when night does arrive, it becomes a great period to observe the Northern Lights, which were more visible this year due to the sun reaching the peak of its magnetic cycle this October, per NASA.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientist Leonid Petrov says the best way to visualize the reason behind polar night is to imagine the Earth as a ball that is rotating around the lamp. “What you will see is that one half of the ball is lit by the lamp, and another part of the ball is in permanent shadow,” he says. “In that case we would have daytime in one hemisphere and permanent light in another hemisphere.”
In Utqiaġvik—which boasts a population of less than 5,000 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau—just over half of the population identifies as American Indian and Alaska native. Many families have been living in the town for generations, which Toovak says allows them to “thrive” during the long stretches of winter.
When the sun does rise above the horizon for the first time again in January, though often for less than an hour, it’s a period of celebration for the town. “Our college, the only tribal college in Alaska, they always do a celebration every year where they get singers, drummers, dancers, and do traditional dancing, what they call, the ‘welcome the sun back dance,’” says Toovak, speaking about the performance the Iḷisaġvik College puts on. “Seeing drumming and dancing in our traditional song and dance is very healing for people.”
The Federal government has implemented the Cape Town Convention protocol on de-Registration and export request of leased aircrafts.
Speaking on Wednesday at the signing of a protocol documentation of Irrevocable Delegation of Authority to de-Register Aircraft (IDERA) in Abuja, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Akeyamo explained that it is a necessary step in allowing new aircrafts to come into the country.
“We are here today, having fulfilled all our judicial obligations, we want to update the administrative rules, and this is what they called, the Advising circular.
“This requirement is an international requirement, a global requirement, which we have not attended to all along.
“This is a very important step in raising Nigeria further in the world of leases and financiers” .
Keyamo further explained that, certain negotiations around the world by “our aircraft operators are on hold now. One of my aids will tell you that they are trying to assess certain aircrafts now on dry leases, those negotiations are on hold until we sign this as a country.
“As I speak with you, I got that information yesterday. They are holding back. They said they want the IDERA to be signed, and then the aircrafts will come in .
“This is to make sure that their aircrafts are safe within our jurisdiction. And that is why we are doing this today” he stated.
The Minister said “I don’t want to read long speeches. I have explained what we are here for, yes, I therefore call upon the DG to sign”.
On his part, the Director General of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Chris Najomo explained that the Cape Town Convention and the associated Aircraft Protocol came into force in the United Kingdom on 1%November 2015 through The International Interests in Aircraft Equipment (Cape Town Convention) Regulations 2015.
“As we are aware by now, the aim of the Cape Town Convention is to reduce the cost of raising finance for large, high value mobile assets which routinely cross borders.
“In relation to registration and operation of aircraft in Nigeria, the main impact of the Convention is the ability of the registered owner to request an Irrevocable De-Registration and Export Request Authorisation (“‘IDERA”) over an eligible aircraft.
“Once an IDERA is recorded, the party that has been declared by the registered owner as the “authorised party” will be the only party with the right to de-register and export the aircraft.
“The smooth execution of this authorisation has been impeded by judicial pronouncements and unwilling lessees. The current Honourable Minister of Aviation & Aerospace Development has taken the bull by the horn in ameliorating the consequences of this occurrence, and that is why we are gathered here today.
“Nigeria is a Contracting State to the Convention On International Interests In Mobile Equipment (the Convention) and the Protocol Thereto On Matters Specific To Aircraft Equipment (the Protocol), and had made a declaration pursuant to Article XXX(1) of the Protocol providing for the recordation and enforcement of IDERAs”
“In line with the HM’s efforts, I am issuing an Advisory Circular: NCAA-AC-AWS001A dated 16th October, 2024 intended to provide information and guidance on the civil aviation regulatory requirements and procedures for recordation and cancelation of an IDERA and de-registration of aircraft and exporting aircraft, including aircraft objects located in Nigeria, for purposes of any export remedies.
“The goal of enabling our airlines have access to dry-lease aircraft to boost operational capacity will be eased as a result of today’s achievement” he noted.
Israel expanded its targets in its war with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 21 people in an airstrike in the north, health officials said, while millions of Israelis took shelter from projectiles fired back across the border.
So far the main focus of Israel’s military operations in Lebanon has been in the south, the Bekaa Valley in the east and the suburbs of Beirut.
The strike in the Christian-majority town of Aitou hit a house that had been rented to displaced families, the town’s mayor Joseph Trad told Reuters. In addition to the deaths, eight people were injured, the Lebanese health ministry said.
Rescue workers at the site of the strike searched through piles of rubble on Monday, where burned vehicles and trees could be seen strewn across the ground.
Israel ordered residents of 25 villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate to areas north of the Awali River, which flows some 60 km (35 miles) north of the Israeli frontier.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visiting a military base in central Israel where four soldiers were killed on Sunday by a Hezbollah drone strike, said Israel would continue to attack the Iran-backed movement “without mercy, everywhere in Lebanon – including Beirut”.
At the Masnaa border crossing with Syria, couple Jalal Ferhat and Amal Tefayeli and their five children were among those offloading belongings from buses, hoping to leave Lebanon.
“There are strikes in our neighbourhood and destruction, and they (Israeli forces) hit near my house,” said Ferhat, 40, from Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold in eastern Lebanon. “I have children, you can’t just stay where you are.”

TOWN planners have been urged on the need to adopt proactive approach to mitigate the negative impacts of economic shocks.
Such proactive approach, former Professor of Housing and Urban Planning at the University of Ibadan, Tunde Agbola, said would not only mitigate the negative impacts of economic shocks but also enable cities to seize opportunities that emerge from crises.
Speaking during the annual general meeting (AGM) of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners ( NITP), Lagos Chapter, Agbola pointed out that investments in resilient infrastructure or sustainable urban design could generate economic activity while promoting environmental sustainability.
With the theme: “Planning Administration in an Era of Economic Challenges”, the university lecturer cautioned town planners against short-term thinking and a reactive approach, saying they are often insufficient when it comes to planning human settlements for sustainable growth, especially in times of economic uncertainty.
Present at the forum were renowned town planners comprising the past President of NITP, Alhaji Waheed Kadiri, President of Association of Town Planning Consultants of Nigeria, Mr Bisi Adedire, Chairman, Lagos chapter of NITP, Mr Tayo Awomosun; Dr. Moses Ogunleye, and Dr David Olawale, among others.
Agbolaurged planning administrators to move beyond immediate, crisis-driven responses to adopt a more proactive and strategic stance.
“Economic instability often leads to ad-hoc solutions that may address immediate concerns but fail to contribute to the long-term resilience of cities. This reactionary mode is sometimes referred to as the “drunkard approach,” where planners, overwhelmed by the crisis, take unpredictable, uncoordinated actions that lack foresight. While this may provide a temporary fix, it can compromise the sustainable development of cities.
“Moreover, cities that are better prepared for uncertainties, whether economic downturns, natural disasters, or demographic shifts, are more capable of addressing these challenges when they arise,” he said.
He pointed out that proactive planning will not only mitigate the negative impacts of economic shocks but also enable cities to seize opportunities that emerge from crises.
If planning administrators failed to act proactively, he said that they risked missing valuable opportunities to make cities more robust.
He said:”A lack of foresight in planning can result in cities becoming even more vulnerable to future crises, exacerbating existing inequalities and environmental degradation.
“This underscores the critical role of planning administrators in navigating economic challenges. Rather than being overwhelmed by immediate pressures and resorting to the “drunkard approach,” planners should engage in strategic foresight, taking bold actions that can foster resilient, adaptable urban environments.”
“This approach requires balancing short-term responses with long-term goals, ensuring that cities emerge stronger, more equitable, and more sustainable in the face of uncertainty,” he said.
He also urged planners to take on more entrepreneurial roles, as seen in the “Boundary Spanner” and “Exemplary Practitioner” models.
“During economic downturns, interorganizational collaboration becomes essential for pooling
resources and managing complexities. “Planners can act as strategic connectors and coordinators of efforts across multiple agencies. This boundary-spanning role enables planners to manage scarce resources effectively,” he said.
He advised planners to always maintain integrity, resist the temptation to compromise ethical standards and focus on equitable service delivery.
According to the professor, transparent communication and community engagement would help prevent exploitation and ensure that planning decisions reflect the public interest, even in tough economic conditions.
In this challenging time, planners are tasked not only with navigating the technical aspects of urban development but also with confronting ethical dilemmas brought on by economic strain.
He urged planning administrators to adopt adaptive, transparent, and strategic approaches that consider both the complexities of the urban landscape and the socio-political dynamics at play.
“Street-level bureaucrats play a critical role in navigating these dynamics, often caught between adhering to regulations and responding to the practical needs of the urban poor. The concept of “forbearance,” where rules are selectively enforced, highlights the tensions between political agendas and the lived realities of African cities,” Agbola said.
