Blum (or Blum crypto) is a mini-application crypto project launched on Telegram, following the trend of crypto mini-apps set out by Notcoin. The platform was founded and is operated by former Binance top managers, with Vladimir Smerkis as CEO and Gleb Kostarev as CMO.
Blum's current mechanism allows users to mine Blum Points, which doesn’t seem to be the platform's main token. The team behind Blum promises these points can be used once the Blum crypto trading app is fully launched on mobile and Telegram.

The leaderboard also boasts the names of other notable cryptocurrencies. While the viral tap-to-earn Hamster Kombat is far in the lead as the largest community on the platform with over 32 million subscribers, Notcoin has dropped to fifth place with only 7.9 million. Meanwhile, Yescoin, another airdrop sensation and close counterpart to Notcoin, sees its community steadily growing at 5.8 million.

Blum claims to be a "hybrid exchange," seeking to combine access to tokens from both centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) within a single platform.
If you're new to the crypto world, here's a quick explainer: CEXs, like Binance, Coinbase or Kraken, are regulated platforms that offer a user-friendly interface for users to trade cryptocurrencies either with fiat money or other digital currencies. DEXs, on the other hand, allow peer-to-peer transactions without third party interference, thus offering greater anonymity, security and asset control to users. However, the lack of intermediaries on DEXs can make these marketplaces challenging for beginners to navigate. Blum is here to change that.

According to the project’s roadmap, Blum is currently focusing on developing new features for the platform in the second quarter of 2024. The web platform's launch, as well as the anticipated coin listing, is expected to occur towards the end of this year.

Early adopters might be able to acquire BP through an airdrop this summer, coinciding with the launch of Blum's wallet, which aims to reward users for their activity. However, this information remains unconfirmed. Once launched, BP could potentially be listed on major exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bybit, as well as those within the TON ecosystem.
The actual coin price is thus predicted to be revealed closer to the platform’s launch.
Due to their similarities as airdrop mini-apps on Telegram, enthusiasts are looking to Notcoin (NOT) to gauge the potential price trajectory of the upcoming Blum token. NOT currently trades at $0.01624, down 13.64% in the last 24 hours. However, Notcoin's price has still surged by 112.91% since the start of 2024, with predictions indicating a potential increase of 724.77% by the end of the year.

Blum quickly set itself apart from other cryptocurrency bots on Telegram, thanks to its promises of innovative "hybrid" crypto trading and intriguing farming mechanisms. The mini-app also positions itself as a secure and trustworthy investment, backed by former Binance executives and a transparent, growing community.
Blum shows promising potential for a successful debut in the cryptocurrency market, especially if the tap-to-earn trend continues to gain traction. However, this does not guarantee profitability, and investors should still approach the project with caution to avoid significant financial losses.
