PAWS, a Telegram-based web3 game, has been gaining popularity by attracting around 45 million participants in just 3 weeks. However, the recent public denouncement of the platform by Notcoin and DOGS puts its trustworthiness at stake.
The project was mistaken by many as a product from DOGS and Notcoin. With regard to a video by Bitget stating that PAWS was designed by the creators of DOGS and Notcoin, Notcoin responded on X, stating “Notcoin has zero connection with this project, we never participated in paws or whatever it called. So this video is actually a pure lie.”
Following the response by Notcoin, the DOGS Community also stated that it has no connection with PAWS. This article will check the genuineness of PAWS in detail. Also, we will get into other valuable insights regarding PAWS.
What is PAWS?
PAWS is a Telegram-based web3 mini app that rewards the participants who get involved in various activities. Upon registration, it instantly gives all the users an allocation of $PAWS according to their account age. Also, users can earn PAWS by inviting their friends to the platform and completing specific effortless tasks.
The token is not listed in any centralized or decentralized exchanges. According to sources, the Token Generation Event hasn’t been done. However, the coin is expected to launch soon on the TON Blockchain.
Who Claimed that PAWS is From DOGS and Notcoin?
PAWS has a design similar to DOGS, CATS, and other Notcoin games. That means it’s natural to assume that the platform is a venture by Notcoin and DOGS. This misinformation was first ignited in one of the web3 communities and spread all over the internet.
When PAWS became a viral coin, major news outlets and data networks started showcasing PAWS, copying the error. That’s how it got into Bitget. However, the recent statements from NOT and DOGS have given us some clarity about the project.
How to Access PAWS?
PAWS mini-app can be accessed through its official Telegram bot. You can either search for PAWS or get into it via its username (@PAWSOG_bot). Upon registration itself, you will earn passive rewards. Let’s get into the complete list of activities.

Is PAWS a Trustworthy Project?
The recent controversy can be considered as an issue that stemmed from a simple misunderstanding. Beyond that, PAWS seems to follow the same path as the popular web3 apps. When we look into the historical data, especially the cases of Hamster Kombat, CATS, DOGS, and X Empire, all these apps delivered the promised coins. However, the core issue was the value of those coins in the crypto market.
The value upon listing was very low in all these coins. Analysis shows that this is the case for all Telegram-based web3 projects. The earnings are not worth the effort. Only those who got into these projects early were the people who benefited the most, like an MLM scheme. However, a radical opposite situation might happen with PAWS as it is an unpredictable environment. Finally, do your own research to get at least some understanding.
