Hamster Kombat, a popular tap-to-earn game on Telegram, has announced plans to conduct what could be the largest token airdrop in cryptocurrency history.

Record-Breaking Airdrop to Be Given to Hamster Kombat Players

The game will allocate 60 per cent of the HMSTR token airdrop to Hamster Kombat players, further attesting to its commitment to rewarding the large user base that the game has built. The airdrop was scheduled to take place this month but has faced a number of delays due to technical challenges.

According to a new whitepaper published by the anonymous Hamster Kombat team, the game now has 300 million players. That is a large chunk of Telegram's 950 million active users. In view of the foregoing, the launch of the token on The Open Network has hit a snag, putting the airdrop timeline in limbo.

The rapid growth of the game doesn't go unnoticed, and it is reported that only a month ago, 239 million Hamster Kombat players were announced by the CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov. Not long after that, the game's team corroborated a further 250 million. The latest figure easily surpasses major free-to-play games like Fortnite and Roblox, each with over 200 million monthly active users.

Token Value to Depend on User Demand

Hamster Kombat's success is becoming like that of Notcoin, yet another game running on top of Telegram, which had a large airdrop earlier this year. Inspired by the success of Notcoin, Hamster Kombat looks to build a larger ecosystem with an airdrop. The developers added that there is no venture capital backing—the token's value will thus be driven purely by Hamster Kombat player demand.

The game now has 50 million active users per day and exists in 190 countries, setting a large milestone for an upcoming airdrop and further development.
