The second half of 2024 has been a quiet one for the cryptocurrency market, with no spectacular blockchain apps and no big rises after the halving of Bitcoin. Only the occasional MEME coin, which is hard to pin down, has caused a few ripples in the market from time to time.

At a time when most people thought it would be hard to see another boom this year, a Telegram-based pet game has come out of nowhere and attracted a lot of attention. The game is called Elfbird, or Elfbird in Chinese, and it has not only gained popularity in the cryptocurrency circle, but is also loved by many people outside the cryptocurrency circle.
