Hamster Kombat On the Verge of Airdrop
Season 1 is coming to an end today. Users have become more active, trying to earn at the last moment. Meanwhile, the team takes on the cheats and finds new partners.
Hamster Kombat, a viral Telegram tap-to-earn game that aims to become a holistic gaming publishing ecosystem, announced the date for the long-anticipated airdrop: September 26. Now, the project team is preparing for the “biggest airdrop ever,” entering new partnerships and slowly clarifying the details of the upcoming token generation event and allocation.
The most thrilling part of the announcement is that Season 1 of the game ended today, September 20, 6pm UTC. Now, a snapshot will be made, and the points will be allocated among users.
Unlike its predecessor Notcoin, which paved the way for Telegram clickers, the $HMSTR allocation will not depend on the number of in-game tokens a user holds but rather on their general engagement in the game and the community. Thus, nobody knows what to expect and which criteria will have a major impact on the final score. The uncertainty has raised concerns among the community, and many users were begging to move the deadline so they could have time to buy missing cards and upgrade their Hamsters.
The community can't wait to get 60% of the total supply of 100 billion coins, and the exact listing date has raised user engagement. The official channel surpassed 58 million subscribers, while the number of monthly users is rapidly approaching 100 million. Communication among users in the regional chats intensified, as those who didn't believe in the airdrop are now apparently trying hard to avoid FOMO. The general sentiment among players is slightly anxious, though positive.
At first, the project announced only one exchange to list $HMSTR — OKX, but now all the major industry players have joined the game: Binance, Bybit, BitGet, and Bitfinex are expected to list the token on September 26. Binance will also feature a $HMSTR launch pool for three days starting September 23, allowing users to stake BNB and FDUSD with token rewards accounting for 3% of the total supply.
Not only are CEXs in play now, but Ebi.xyz, a relatively small perpetual DEX, announced its collaboration with Hamster Kombat and became an official platform for the airdrop claim. Allegedly, a decentralized alternative is in demand: the exсhange reported the number of users increasing 10x in just three days after its integration with Hamster Kombat.
The team provides the community with referral links for registration on exchanges, and we suggest that they might earn good money in rewards for bringing the community to the platforms.
The users were granted two options to claim their airdrop: on-chain deposits directly to their TON wallets and off-chain deposits to claim on exchanges. Currently, users can choose from Binance, OKX, Bybit, Wallet on Telegram, and Ebi. While @wallet is apparently the most convenient option for Telegram users, Ebi can lure some by requiring no KYC or gas fees. Wallet also offers 300% APY on $HMSTR for one week. Off-chain deposits are expected to end by September 21.
Alongside the airdrop preparation, the team is continuing to improve the game. Recently, they updated the daily rewards interface and mechanics. Days before the snapshot, the team introduced a special ‘cheating is bad’ achievement. This can be obtained, allegedly, by using bots for key generation and auto clickers, buying referrals, and having multiple accounts on the same phone. It is unclear how the team traces these bad hamsters, but some expect this badge might significantly impact the allocation of points. Predictably, many accused the team of unjustified allegations.
