Pavel Durov announced the release of the Hamster Kombat token on the TON network.
He noted that the Hamster Kombat application has become another popular Internet phenomenon. In three months, 239 million people registered in this Telegram mini-application. It took Hamster just 73 days to reach 100 million monthly users.
According to Pavel Durov, 4–5 million new users join the project every day, making it the fastest growing digital service in the world.
The entrepreneur added that several months ago he talked about a new wave of mini-applications based on Telegram and now the leader of this wave is Hamster Kombat. Its incredible growth demonstrates Telegram's viral potential as a mini-app platform.
Earlier, the KuCoin cryptocurrency exchange announced pre-sales of the in-game HMSTR token. The start of trading has been postponed several times, and at the time of writing it is scheduled for July 12.
Let us remind you that security experts have identified two fraudulent schemes on Telegram aimed at Hamster Kombat players.
In some countries, clickers are fought at the legislative level. For example, in Uzbekistan, Hamster Kombat players were threatened with arrest and fines. Iranian authorities called the project a “soft war” tool used by the West.
