Hamster Kombat is a tap-to-earn mini-game on Telegram, where players tap a hamster and earn coins with every tap. There’s no set limit on how many coins players can earn via tapping.
Hamster Kombat, launched on March 26, has been a success. The numbers vary, but the Telegram group has over 80 million monthly users. The team claims to have surpassed the 116 million users mark quicker than WhatsApp and Instagram. These numbers may be highly inflated as there is no way to verify in-game how many users are active.
Hamster Kombat announced it would issue its token and distribute HMSTR using an airdrop to users on Sept. 26. This is after the project delayed its planned drop for July. Players can access the airdrop section of their Hamster Kombat app to see which items will be involved in the token distribution.
Hamster Kombats popularity is growing majorly because crypto traders and players believe it might be the next Notecoin. Notecoin, one of the pioneers of tap-to-earn games on Telegram, launched its token $NOT in May and allowed its players to change their in-game coins to the $NOT cryptocurrency through the TON Network blockchain.
Notecoin jumped from the price of $0.01 to an all-time high of $0.029 two weeks after the launch, reaching a market cap of nearly $3 billion at its peak. Some early adopters who tapped to earn before the $NOT token launch became crypto millionaires almost overnight.
News of the Hamster Kombats airdrop comes after the CEO and founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, was arrested in France due to charges that include the use of “cryptology” without government approval, distributing child pornography and drug trafficking.
