A Telegram community post from the Hamster Kombat team specified that a “snapshot” of players’ in-game earnings and status will be taken at 6pm UTC on the cutoff date.
Hamster Kombat has established itself as the largest Telegram tap-to-earn crypto game in terms of player base. The game’s developers claim to have attracted over 300 million total players to date, with Telegram app data showing an impressive 94 million active players over the last month.
These figures position Hamster Kombat as the most-played Telegram game by a significant margin.
The HMSTR token is set to launch on the TON network on September 26, following the snapshot. Players who have participated in the game and met certain criteria will be eligible to claim their share of the airdrop.
While the exact distribution method and token allocation details have not been fully disclosed, the team has previously shared information about the in-game criteria that will be used to determine token allocations.
Hamster Kombat recently announced plans to distribute billions of tokens to Binance customers through a Launchpool rewards campaign. The total supply of HMSTR tokens has been set at 100 billion, with 3 billion allocated for this purpose.
While the upcoming token launch and airdrop have generated excitement among crypto gamers, there are concerns about the potential impact on the TON network.
Previous token claims for smaller projects have caused network downtime, raising questions about TON’s ability to handle the large-scale distribution of HMSTR tokens.
TON Core developers have acknowledged these concerns, stating that the launch of HMSTR, along with another token (CATI) launching on September 20, could lead to “more technical pressures and possibly some unforeseen issues.”
