The team behind the Telegram-based tap-to-earn game Hamster Kombat has released a new whitepaper detailing plans for a token airdrop on The Open Network (TON). Originally slated for July, the launch has seen delays, but the whitepaper claims that the airdrop will be the largest in crypto history, with 60% of the tokens dedicated to players. The rest of the tokens will be used for market liquidity, ecosystem partnerships, grants, rewarding squads, and other purposes. The project is not backed by investment firms or venture capitalists, as the team asserts that Hamster Kombat is already a profitable business and does not need to sell team token allocations to pay bills.
The whitepaper does not specify a launch date for the HMSTR token but provides details on the token supply allocation. The team describes the airdrop as the first step in building the Hamster ecosystem, which will extend beyond the current game. The game has 50 million daily active users across 190 countries, and the team aims to expand the project by onboarding other developers through grants and launching new features such as squads for player collaboration and time-limited events with special rewards. A Season 2 campaign with additional crypto rewards is also in the works.
Hamster Kombat has quickly become a prominent name in the crypto world, drawing inspiration from the success of another Telegram-based clicker game, Notcoin. Notcoin airdropped over 80 billion tokens worth approximately $1 billion in May, which inspired Hamster Kombat’s founders. While there are questions about the proportion of bots among its users, the game has attracted significant attention. The team’s announcement of plans to expand the project and introduce new features has further contributed to its rising popularity.
With 300 million players to date, Hamster Kombat has experienced significant growth, representing nearly one-third of the 950 million active users on the popular messaging app, Telegram. The game’s developers emphasize the importance of each player in the project’s success and aim to reward them through the upcoming token airdrop. Despite delays in the launch, the team is actively working on making the airdrop happen and ensuring that players receive their allocated tokens. Overall, Hamster Kombat’s plans for the future and dedication to its player community position it as an exciting and innovative project within the crypto space.
