Hamster Fighta popular Telegram-based game, is preparing to launch its own cryptocurrency token.
The game, which has reportedly amassed more than 300 million users since its debut in March 2024, plans to distribute 60% of its total token supply to players through what it calls the “largest airdrop in cryptocurrency history.”
The developers of the game recently released a whitepaper detailing plans for the HMSTR token.
According to this document, 60% of the total token supply will be dedicated to players, while the remaining 40% will be reserved for various purposes, including market liquidity, ecosystem partnerships, grants, and team rewards.
Hamster Kombat, a tap-to-earn game, has gained significant traction in a short period of time. Developers say it reached 100 million users in just two months, potentially setting a record for the fastest product to reach that milestone. Now, with a reported 300 million users across 190 countries and 50 million daily active users, the game is poised to make a significant impact in the cryptocurrency space.
The exact date of the HMSTR token airdrop remains uncertain.
In a Telegram post, the Hamster Kombat team he explained that due to the technical challenges involvedit has become “impossible to predict” when the launch will take place.
They stated: “The Hamster token airdrop is a technically complex undertaking, unprecedented in the blockchain world.” Despite this uncertainty, the team assures users that they are “working tirelessly in collaboration with the TON ecosystem to ensure a smooth and hassle-free airdrop for all users.”
The developers note that Hamster Kombat has no backing from venture capital or investment firms. They argue that this lack of outside investment means there will be no additional selling pressure on the token, allowing its value to be determined by organic demand and community interest.
Beyond the initial launch of the game and token, the Hamster Foundation has broader ambitions. It aims to create a broader gaming ecosystem, potentially becoming a publishing platform for various game studios. The foundation also plans to cater to multiple gaming platforms, including PC and consoles, in an effort to bring more gamers into the cryptocurrency space.
To support these goals and maintain the value of the token, the Hamster Foundation is working on creating multiple revenue streams. They say this will allow them to generate revenue without selling the HMSTR token.
All future ecosystem grant programs for third-party developers will be denominated in fiat currency rather than HMSTR tokens, to avoid putting selling pressure on the token.
While the Hamster Kombat team claims this will be the largest airdrop in cryptocurrency history, it’s worth noting that this would require surpassing significant previous airdrops. For example, Uniswap’s UNI token airdrop was worth over $6.43 billion, according to CoinGecko data.
The game has already attracted the attention of major cryptocurrency exchanges. OKX and Bybit have listed Hamster Kombat tokens for pre-market futures trading, indicating significant interest in the project.
While the crypto community eagerly awaits more details about the HMSTR token and its distribution, the Hamster Kombat team continues to develop their project. They recently announced that the first season of the game will soon end, encouraging players to take advantage of any remaining cards or missions.
