KEY POINTS
- Players control a dragon as it attempts to fly between boulders without hitting them
- The game is integrated with Telegram, which means there’s no need to download additional apps
- Players can earn $JCT token rewards and tokenized real-world gemstones
Jade City, the tokenization platform pioneering the tokenization of jade gemstones, today announced the launch of its Telegram mini-app Flappy Jade, a game inspired by the popular side-scroller game Flappy Bird.
The new game comes with leaderboards, rewards, and an incentivization scheme for high-performing players who will be rewarded with a combination of $JCT, the soon-to-be-launched native utility token for Jade City, and tokenized physical jade gemstones that can be used to access upcoming gemstone loot boxes.
Flappy Jade Game Structure
On Flappy Jade, players can collect jade gemstones by controlling the flight of a dragon that attempts to fly between boulders. Players need to gain control of the dragon to make sure it flies between the boulders without hitting them.
Scores are determined by the number of jade stones collected.
Having been under development for the last few months, Flappy Jade is a representation of Jade City’s commitment to delivering engaging, community-driven content as it prepares for its much-anticipated mainnet launch and Token Generation Event (TGE).

Flappy Jade is seamlessly integrated into Telegram, allowing users to jump into the action without downloading additional apps.

Jade City: Democratizing Global Access to Jade
Jade City, a blockchain-powered platform that’s being built as an EVM-compatible decentralized app (dApp), is on a mission to democratize global access to the $50 billion jade market.
With a development team led by CTO David Atkinson, a co-founder of Holochain, Holo, Rain, and Gild Labs, Jade City is working to issue jade-backed bonds that will pay out a high yield of up to 24% each year in tokenized physical jade.
The team partnered with the owners of the world’s largest jade mine to secure one of the world’s most substantial jade inventories, positioning Jade City as a pioneer in utilizing the blockchain to provide accessibility and transparency for one of the world’s largest gemstone trades.
Many real-world asset (RWA) tokenization projects have emerged in recent years, but Jade City stands out due to its unique integrations in decentralized finance (DeFi) and now, game finance (GameFi).
