Hamster Kombat, the popular Telegram-based tap-to-earn game, recently hit 300 million players, accomplishing this milestone in less than five months since its launch in March 2024. This achievement puts it on a fast track for possibly setting a new Guinness World Record. Beyond this, the team behind the game has unveiled their plans for the launch of their own Hamster Kombat token and an associated airdrop.
The Hamster Kombat HMSTR token’s airdrop is rumored to be the most substantial in the history of cryptocurrency, dwarfing outgoing record-holder Uniswap’s UNI token airdrop which was valued at over $6.43 billion. Still, the exact tokenomics of the impending HMSTR token haven’t been disclosed as yet. 60% of the airdrop’s capacity will be dedicated to players, with the rest reserved for market liquidity, ecosystem collaborations, rewards, and so on.
In an interesting twist, the Hamster Kombat team has announced that the token doesn’t have any venture capital or early investments. Instead, the token’s value will be based purely on organic demand. The token and its value are expected to be driven by supply, demand, and community interest.
But Hamster Kombat isn’t stopping with this game. The organization is planning a larger role in the gaming world. It aims to create a more expansive gaming ecosystem, becoming a gaming publishing platform that will showcase the best game studios of various sizes to their audience. The team hopes to serve all gaming platforms, including PC and console, and onboard the next billion players to crypto.
To further build this ecosystem, there are plans to create multiple revenue streams to generate income without having to sell the new token. Furthermore, potential ecosystem grant programs denominated in fiat currency, not HMSTR, may be introduced to avoid additional selling pressure on the token.
