All You Need to Know About the ‘Hamster Kombat’ Telegram Game Airdrop

Telegram’s most popular game is preparing an airdrop on The Open Network (TON), and Hamster Kombat has offered tactics for getting the greatest bag.

Hamster Kombat took over from Notcoin, leading the next generation of Telegram crypto games while reportedly accumulating massive numbers of players—more than 150 million, the game’s producers recently claimed amid a frenzy of social media excitement.

What draws gamers to the game, which combines easy tapping action with light strategic movements as you assume the role of a hamster CEO at a cryptocurrency exchange? An forthcoming token airdrop, of course, will provide an incentive for all of this tapping and more.

We’ve been following the Hamster Kombat buzz for the past few weeks here at Decrypt’s GG, and we have both real facts and clear hints on what to anticipate from the launch—where, when, and how to place yourself in the best position to collect a larger bag of tokens.

Here’s what we know thus far. Check back for updates as additional details become available.

What is the Hamster Kombat token?

Hamster Kombat announced in late May that it will establish a token on The Open Network (TON), a layer-1 blockchain that Telegram launched years ago before being developed outside by the community.

It’s the same chain on which Notcoin released its NOT token, which went on to become this year’s largest gaming token launch, with a peak market capitalization of well over $2 billion. Toncoin (TON), amidst Notcoin buzz and increased interest over Hamster Kombat and other Telegram games, has risen to the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

When is it coming?

The Hamster Kombat website lists July as the intended date for the token generation event (TGE), which is normally when qualified players can get tokens via airdrop. Previously, the team stated during a Twitter Spaces in early June that it aimed for July, which was later verified to Decrypt by a TON spokesperson.

Crypto exchanges Gate.io, Bitget, and KuCoin have already revealed intentions to facilitate pre-market trading for the Hamster Kombat token, known as HMSTR.

How many tokens will players get?

It’s unclear how many tokens gamers will be allowed to claim. Notcoin, which pioneered this type of Telegram game airdrop, provided players with one on-chain NOT token for every 1,000 in-game currencies mined.

Hamster Kombat looks to be taking a different route, though. Early in June, the company posted that airdrop allocations will not be determined only by how many coins you accumulated in the game before a certain date.

“Airdrop will depend on the profit per hour and some other [activity] parameters that we will reveal later, NOT the coin balance,” the official game account tweeted on June 6, advising users to “play wisely.” On June 18, the team tweeted “profit per hour over coin balance,” attempting to reinforce the notion following numerous questions on the subject.

What exactly does this mean? While Hamster Kombat displays a large, round number of earned coins, simply stacking the most coins does not guarantee the best bag. Instead, it appears that you would be better off reinvesting those coins in upgrades to increase your profit-per-hour rate, which determines your level of passive income.
