Hamster Kombat sets rewards cutoff
In an exciting announcement via its mini app on Tuesday, Hamster Kombat, the preeminent Telegram-based tap-to-earn cryptocurrency game boasting the largest player community, divulged that the inaugural season of player rewards is set to conclude on September 20, in preparation for the forthcoming token debut and airdrop happening next week.
The in-game notification detailed that “Season 1 concludes on September 20,” highlighting that all player accomplishments until then “will be transformed into HMSTR tokens.” Hamster Kombat is urging its enthusiasts to “accelerate their level-up process” before this deadline. Earlier, the development team had outlined the specific in-game achievements that would determine the distribution of tokens.
Through a post in its Telegram community on Tuesday, the Hamster Kombat administrators revealed plans to capture a “snapshot” of players’ in-game achievements and standings at 6pm UTC on September 20. It's worth noting, as previously affirmed, that a subsequent season of in-game rewards is on the horizon following the initial airdrop.
Set for a release on The Open Network (TON) is Hamster Kombat’s HMSTR token, scheduled for September 26, with a claimable airdrop prepared for its gamers. The game boasts an impressive engagement, claiming over 300 million players to date, and Telegram app analytics indicating 94 million active users in the last month alone, securing its spot as the most popular Telegram gaming experience.
The impending token introduction of Hamster Kombat has garnered significant excitement among the cryptocurrency gaming community, yet it poses potential challenges for TON. Late August experienced network disruptions during a token claim for a smaller-scale project on TON, raising alarms that the extensive Hamster Kombat airdrop could result in similar outages.
Indeed, the core development team behind TON acknowledged in a Telegram communication last week the potential for “additional technical strains and possibly unexpected complications” due to the HMSTR launch, coupled with the introduction of Catizen’s CATI token on September 20, in light of the notable token introductions.
