A recent social media post by Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has ignited speculation within the crypto community about his potential interest in the tap-to-earn game Hamster Kombat. The post has triggered a flurry of comments and theories about its implications, suggesting a possible collaboration between Durov and the game developers.

Has Hamster Kombat caught the interest of the new Telegram CEO?

Recently, Durov posted a video on his official Telegram channel discussing updates to the messaging app. He emphasized a new feature allowing users to collapse and switch between mini-apps. Durov also mentioned upcoming enhancements to the bottom bar, which will store web pages and other content for later access. Additionally, the update enables channel owners to publish paid photos and videos that users can purchase using Stars. Similar to mini app developers, channel owners can convert their earned Stars into Toncoin with minimal commissions from Telegram, as outlined in Durov’s Telegram account.

Durov’s video prominently features Hamster Kombat, capturing the community’s attention. The Hamster Kombat team responded to his post, noting:

“It seems Pavel Durov has been busy with new updates and has started playing Hamster Kombat! Pavel, remember that upgrading your cards and increasing hourly profit is crucial, even more than the coin balance! Welcome to the Hamster Family,” the team wrote.

In Hamster Kombat, players manage a virtual crypto exchange by tapping on digital hamsters to earn coins.

Players can also enhance their earnings through various methods in Hamster Kombat, such as winning coins via the Daily Combo, subscribing to the game’s YouTube channel, or inviting friends. Special missions and daily check-ins offer additional coins, while upgrading exchanges boosts earning rates.

According to BeInCrypto, Hamster Kombat has surpassed 200 million users worldwide. The project has also launched its Hamster Academy in 17 languages, with the community eagerly anticipating the long-awaited airdrop.

Durov’s ongoing interest in tap-to-earn games adds to the community’s speculation. In May, he publicly supported Notcoin (NOT), the first tap-to-earn game on Telegram, highlighting its transformation from an in-game currency to real money for users.

In the same month, Durov and his team acquired more than 1 billion NOT tokens, valued at approximately $6.8 million at that time. He committed to holding onto the tokens until their value increased by 100 times.
