Hamster Kombat, the popular Telegram-based tap-to-earn game, is gearing up for a major milestone as it prepares to release its HMSTR token on The Open Network (TON) on September 26. This announcement comes after the news that 3 billion HMSTR tokens will be distributed to Binance customers as part of a Launchpool campaign.
The campaign, set to kick off on September 19, will allow eligible Binance users to stake their Binance Coin (BNB) and First Digital USD (FDUSD) to earn a share of the tokens. The staking period will run until the official token release date, giving users the opportunity to participate in the token distribution process.
With a total supply of 100 billion tokens, the HMSTR token distribution will prioritize players of the game, with 60% of the tokens set to be distributed to them. The team behind Hamster Kombat has hinted that the distribution method will be based on individual game progress, rewarding players who have invested more time and effort into the game.
A spokesperson for Hamster Kombat expressed excitement about the upcoming HMSTR airdrop, calling it the largest in crypto history. They emphasized that the only way to acquire the token is through gameplay, highlighting the game’s commitment to rewarding active players.
Despite its growing popularity, Hamster Kombat’s success has raised concerns about TON’s ability to handle the anticipated demand. TON experienced two outages in August due to a surge in network traffic from the launch of the DOGS memecoin, prompting questions about its scalability.
The upcoming token launch is expected to be a significant moment for blockchain-based games hosted on Telegram, showcasing the potential for innovative gaming experiences within the crypto space. Stay tuned for more updates on Hamster Kombat and the release of the HMSTR token on TON.
