We've seen various TON project launch on binance, but one of them has interestingly stood out from the crowd: $cati.
With the recent launch of $cati we saw a genius marketing move employed by the team that has proved to be a net positive for the project.
Which has now put the question on the table: should $HMSTR follow the $cati path?
Let's take a good look at it..
$cati distribution really raised some eyebrow in the community, with majority of users receiving as little as just 2 tokens, with some getting as low as 0.10.
In contrast, those who made in-game purchases or contributed in other ways were awarded significantly more, in the range of 50 to 100 tokens.
This caused so much uproar from everyone and they recieved so many backlash from majority of the users who participated, which also led to so many calling for its heads.
However, when they listed, it led to an initial listing price of $1.2, which dipped slightly to $0.9 when trading began.
Now when you compare this strategy to other TON powered airdrops like $NOT or $DOG, which distributed thousands of tokens, but they listed at $0.010 and $0.0012 respectively.
At first glance, it may seem like
$CATI 's approach was stingy, but there’s an underlying genius here.
By keeping the circulating supply low, they also kept the sell pressure in check, ensuring a more stable price floor and reducing the risk of a market flooded with devalued tokens.
How Could that help hamster?
Now, let’s look at Hamster. With over 99 million active users, and Some users have already earned over 1 billion coins in-game, setting the stage for a highly anticipated token launch.
If Hamster follows the model set by $NOT or $DOG, it would mean distributing thousands or even millions of tokens during the airdrop.
Sure, that sounds like a generous move, but it would also create a dangerously high circulating supply right out of the gate, which would undoubtedly lead to intense selling pressure, dragging down the value of $HMSTR immediately after launch.
Remember, when there’s an oversupply of tokens, the market responds by slashing prices. It’s basic economics.
This is where
$CATI ’s strategy comes in.
If Hamster emulates $Cati by not giving out massive amounts of tokens and Instead choose to reward their users in a way that preserves value.
This single move could position $HMSTR to launch at a much higher price, potentially in the range of
$CATI ’s $0.9 to $1.2, rather than the sub-penny levels seen with $NOT or $DOG.
Now if hamster implements this strategy, there could also be a problem; Low token + high listing = low reward!
Which means, this strategy would only be fruitful when there is a balance, like users are allocated a reasonable amount of token that would be enough to compesate for the months invested in tapping.
My Final Thoughts:
Hamster is at a pivotal moment in its journey. But the way they handle their airdrop could very well determine how that success plays out.
Will they follow in the footsteps of $NOT and $DOG, risking oversupply and a market crash? Or will they take a page from
$CATI ’s playbook, protecting their token’s value and fostering long-term growth?
In my opinion, the choice is clear. The
$CATI strategy offers a path to sustainable success, and if Hamster takes that route, the sky’s the limit.
As we look toward the future, there’s every reason to be hopeful. because, if The team behind Hamster can balance generosity with economic wisdom, we may soon be witnessing the rise of one of the most successful TON project.
