Hamster Kombat, the popular Telegram tap-to-earn crypto game, has announced that the first season of in-game rewards will conclude on September 20. Players are encouraged to level up before the cutoff date to have their achievements converted into HMSTR tokens. The game will then launch its HMSTR token on The Open Network (TON) on September 26, with an airdrop claim available to players.
The Hamster Kombat team will take a snapshot of players’ in-game earnings and status on September 20 at 6 pm UTC to determine token allocations. Despite the end of the first season, a second season of rewards is planned for after the airdrop. With over 300 million total players and 94 million active players on Telegram in the last month, Hamster Kombat is the most-played game on the platform.
While the upcoming HMSTR token launch is highly anticipated by crypto gamers, there are concerns about potential network issues on TON. The network experienced downtime in late August due to a token claim for a smaller project, leading to worries that the size of the Hamster Kombat airdrop could cause similar problems. TON Core developers have acknowledged the potential technical pressures and unforeseen issues that may arise with the launch of HMSTR and Catizen’s CATI token on September 20.
Despite these challenges, Hamster Kombat remains committed to providing a rewarding gaming experience for its players. The upcoming token launch and airdrop signify a new chapter for the game, with exciting opportunities for players to earn rewards and engage with the growing crypto gaming community. Stay tuned for more updates on Hamster Kombat’s token launch and future in-game events.
