The extremely popular Hamster Kombat tap-to-earn game for Telegram will receive its own native token. According to the game’s team, the Hamster Kombat token generation event (TGE) will take place on September 26, less than a month from now. 

The announcement follows months of speculation about the potential token launch. Since the game’s launch in March, it has managed to attract over 300 million players and tens of millions of followers across X (Twitter), YouTube, and Instagram.

Hamster Kombat token listing date confirmed for September

According to the official post on X, the HMSTR token will be launched on September 26th. While the team behind the game has not made any official announcements about which exchanges will list the token initially, we can draw some parallels with another popular Toncoin-based game that launched its token earlier this year, Notcoin.

When the Notcoin token launched earlier this year, a number of major crypto exchanges listed it just a few days after the TGE, including Binance, OKX, and Bybit. It’s worth noting that Notcoin gave players the option to stake their NOT balance for 30 days to earn additional rewards or withdraw their airdropped tokens to exchanges or Telegram wallet. It’s safe to assume that Hamster Kombat could handle its token distribution process in a similar fashion.

Hamster Kombat airdrop date

The Hamster Kombat airdrop will take place on September 26th, the same day as the token generation event. While it’s not yet known exactly how much time it will take between the airdrop and exchange listings, it will probably happen on the same day if we were to make an educated guess.

We can again look to Notcoin for useful information in that regard. The TGE, airdrop, and exchange listings all happened within the same day when NOT first launched. Meanwhile, the airdrop claim process remained open for exactly 30 days, meaning that eligible players were able to claim tokens for as long as one month after the airdrop campaign started.

How to earn HMSTR before the token launch?

One of the fastest ways to earn Hamster Kombat tokens is to complete daily combos and codes, which can give you millions of coins in rewards, greatly increasing your earning potential.

Another approach to earn real money rewards is to take part in HMSTR pre-market competition on KuCoin. The KuCoin exchange has allocated a $20,000 prize pool for participants – 900 lucky participants will have the chance to earn $20 worth of HMSTR for a total prize pool of $18,000. The remaining $2,000 will be split among 10 users with the higher HMSTR pre-market trading volume.

Trade Hamster Kombat on Pre-Market

Pre-Market is an over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform exclusively for trading new tokens before their official launch. Buyers and sellers can set price quotes and match trades to secure their desired prices and liquidity in advance.

What will the price of the Hamster Kombat token be at launch?

At the time of writing this article, Hamster Kombat tokens are changing hands at roughly $0.28 on KuCoin, $0.14 on Bybit, $0.13 on Gate.io, and $0.13 on Bitget. It’s worth noting that the price saw a significant dip following last month’s pre-market listing on Bybit and KuCoin. 

However, the current price in the premarket is probably still higher than the price of HSMTR will be at launch.
