As the launch of Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) approaches on September 26, excitement is building over the highly anticipated airdrop. The game has seen massive growth, expanding from a 250M player base in July to nearly 300M players in September, indicating its massive popularity on Telegram as a tap-to-earn game. The question on everyoneâs mind is, how much HMSTR will you receive? Letâs break it down based on the latest data and projections.
HMSTR Tokenomics and Airdrop Allocation
According to the HMSTR whitepaper, the total supply of tokens will be 10 billion HMSTR. Of that, a whopping 60% will be allocated to players who are committed and engaged, translating to 6 billion HMSTR tokens set aside for airdrops. This is by far one of the biggest token distributions weâve seen in the tap-to-earn space.
Market Cap Comparison: The NOTcoin Example
If we look back at the success of NOTcoin, a previous tap-to-earn Telegram game, it reached a peak market cap of nearly $3 billion. However, considering the rapidly growing popularity of Hamster Kombat, many analysts predict that its peak market cap could reach between $4 billion and $5 billion. But for the sake of simplicity, letâs assume Hamster Kombat hits a $3 billion peak market cap, similar to NOTcoin.
At a $3 billion market cap, the value of each HMSTR token will be: $3B Ă· 10B tokens = $0.30 per HMSTR token.
Calculating Your Airdrop
With 6 billion HMSTR tokens allocated to players, this translates to a total value of $1.8 billion being distributed via the airdrop.
But thereâs a catch! Recently, Hamster Kombat implemented an advanced system to crack down on cheaters. Due to this, not all of the gameâs 300M players will be eligible for the airdrop. In fact, the number of eligible players has dwindled to around 150M, or roughly half of the total player base.
Given this information, if we assume an equal share of the airdrop across all eligible players (for simplicityâs sake), the math works out as follows:
$1.8 billion Ă· 150M players = $12 per player on average at the peak market cap.
Range of Airdrop Rewards
While $12 might be the average, itâs important to note that not everyone will receive the same amount. Hereâs why:
- Top players who have dedicated more time and effort are expected to receive significantly higher allocations.
- On the other hand, serial clickers and less engaged players will receive a much smaller portion, estimated at around 1% of the total share.
Given this, the actual allocation of HMSTR tokens could range from as low as $1-$5 for casual players to a whopping $50-$150 (and maybe even more) for elite, highly engaged players who have invested considerable time and effort into the game.
Final Thoughts
The Hamster Kombat airdrop is shaping up to be a massive event with the potential to reward dedicated players substantially. With the gameâs launch on September 26 and a market cap target of around $3 billion, players could see impressive gains depending on their engagement and activity levels. As we approach the airdrop, the final amount youâll receive will depend not just on overall market performance but also on your commitment to the game.
If youâre an active player, this could be your moment to capitalize on a game thatâs about to make big waves in the crypto gaming space.
