What is Hamster Kombat? The Crypto Game and Telegram Airdrop
Are the hamsters fighting now? Not exactly, but while Hamster Kombat’s title might be a little misleading, this Telegram-based clicker game has quickly become a dominant leader in the gaming industry to make money by expanding Not moneyit is the winning model.
The Hamster Kombat team recently announced on which they will carry out an airdrop The open network (TON), rewarding players for accumulating in-game coins while ultimately releasing real, tradable crypto tokens.
This will definitely drive a lot more people to the game, but as of this writing, new players can still dive in and rack up coins before the airdrop. Here’s what you need to know about Hamster Kombat, how to play it, and what we know so far about the token and the airdrop.
What is Hamster Kombat?
Similar to Notcoin, Hamster Kombat allows players to tap to earn coins in a native Telegram application (or “mini app”), meaning that all you need to do to play is open a Telegram chat.
The game’s developers claim to have amassed over 60 million users, all eagerly tapping into the game to earn coins that will presumably be used to determine how many tokens players will receive in the next Hamster Kombat airdrop.
While Hamster Kombat has been around since March, the game has recently gained traction following the conclusion of Notcoin’s airdrop, perhaps due to touch-addicted players migrating to a new game with an upcoming token and airdrop in the works.
The core concept of Hamster Kombat is similar to Notcoin, with some slightly richer gameplay mechanics layered on top. In short: it’s a tap-to-earn game combined with a cryptocurrency trading simulator.
In Hamster Kombat, you are the CEO of an emerging cryptocurrency exchange, and your job is to grow the exchange to new heights never seen before… in the world of hamsters. To do this, players tap a gold coin to earn coins, then use those coins to purchase upgrades for their trade.
How to play Hamster Kombat
Hamster Kombat begins in a way familiar to Notcoin users, with players tapping a gold coin in the Telegram app. With Hamster Kombat, however, the first step is, for some reason, shaving your hamster so he can become the CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange.
Similar to Notcoin, players can use their game points to purchase “Boosts” that increase stats, such as how many points are earned per tap or how long you can tap before having to pause and wait for the energy is charged. recharge. There are also free daily boosters that players can claim six times a day.

Once players have earned points, they can start using them to upgrade their trade in the “Mine” tab of the game. This tab shows all kinds of power-ups that players can purchase (exclusively with in-game coins) for their exchange and includes things like adding coins like Bitcoin to trade at your exchange, by setting up a KYC process, or even by joining Joe Rogan’s podcast.
Each upgrade you purchase for your trade earns you more coins passively. For example, adding the BTC pair to your trade costs 250 points, but then earns you 40 points per hour. In other words, these additions pay for themselves quickly and help push your trade further.
“Did we do the airdrop?”
What is the purpose of earning coins in the game? Similar to Notcoin, Hamster Kombat also announced an upcoming airdrop, although they were much more transparent about it than Notcoin was initially.
Inside the Hamster Kombat app, there is an “Airdrop” tab that states that alliances between exchanges and market makers have already been negotiated, but does not provide an exact date for the airdrop itself.
Notcoin ran for three months before pausing the game, and then launched its token more than a month later. Hamster Kombat may not follow the exact same routine, of course, but given the amount of hype Notcoin has capitalized on and turned into market value, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Hamster Kombat mimic such methods as well.
