In June 2025, Ponchiqs published a remarkably candid Medium post titled "What's Happened" — addressing the delisting of their $PONCH token head-on. That kind of transparency is rare in the crypto-gaming space, where projects typically go quiet when things get rough. It's one of the more honest moments in this channel's recent history, and it tells you something about how the team operates — or at least wants to be perceived.
Ponchiqs is a Web3 gaming project built around a small but growing ecosystem: Ponchiqs Arena, a free-to-play shooter available on the Epic Games Store, and PoncHead, a PvP football game running on the TON blockchain via Telegram bot. The $PONCH token trades on Raydium (Solana network), KuCoin, and MEXC, with TON-based LP farming also available. The project has partnerships with infrastructure players like Aethir, whose GPU cloud reportedly powers parts of the ecosystem — a legitimizing detail that separates Ponchiqs from pure meme-token projects.
The content cadence here is irregular — sometimes weeks pass between posts, which is a problem for a community channel with over 2.1 million subscribers. When posts do appear, they lean heavily on hype language: "something's cooking," "you've been warned," "we're watching closely." There's a lot of teasing and very little hard information. Announcements frequently redirect to X (formerly Twitter) rather than delivering the news directly in Telegram, which feels like a missed opportunity given the massive audience here.
What the channel does well is maintain a consistent brand voice — playful, robot-mascot-driven, with a community-first tone that encourages engagement around squad sizes, tournaments, and game nights. A collaboration with LINEUP for a $100 prize game night shows some effort toward real community events rather than just passive announcements.
The revenue distribution promise — periodic payouts to $PONCH holders from studio revenues — is an interesting GameFi hook, though it remains vague in execution. Given the token's recent delisting history, skepticism is warranted until those mechanics are clearly demonstrated.
This channel is best suited for existing $PONCH holders and Web3 gaming enthusiasts who are already invested in the ecosystem and want to stay updated. For newcomers, the combination of sparse posting, heavy teasing, and a token that's already faced exchange delistings demands serious due diligence before any financial commitment. Follow for the game updates, but keep your expectations calibrated.
