The popular Telegram-based play-to-earn game, Hamster Kombat, received significant support from Binance, which launched a major airdrop campaign ahead of the game’s upcoming token generation event (TGE). Players had the opportunity to earn HMSTR tokens by staking BNB and FDUSD. With a reward pool of 3 billion tokens leading up to the token listing on September 26, the campaign generated excitement. However, the disqualification of many players caused a significant uproar within the community.

Binance Airdrop Campaign and Disqualifications

Initially, Binance’s massive airdrop campaign was seen as a major milestone for Hamster Kombat. Users were able to stake BNB and FDUSD to claim a share of the rewards, with 85% of the 3 billion HMSTR tokens allocated to BNB stakers and 15% to FDUSD stakers. However, Binance disqualified a substantial number of players from the campaign, sparking considerable debate within the community.

Despite early statements that collecting keys wasn’t required for the airdrop, Binance changed the rules at the last minute, disqualifying many players. This sudden shift left many feeling frustrated after months of effort. Nevertheless, some players remain hopeful, continuing to compete for the rewards.

Community Reactions and Expectations

The disqualification of 63% of players during the airdrop process has caused widespread disappointment among the community. Many players who had spent months accumulating points found themselves excluded due to the sudden requirement for keys. These abrupt changes have left a sour taste for many, though Hamster Kombat and Binance’s ongoing campaigns still have the potential to boost the game’s popularity.

While the community remains frustrated, some players continue to fight for their rewards, eagerly awaiting the next phase of the game.

Interlude Season Kicks Off

While the airdrop crisis is still being discussed, Hamster Kombat is preparing for the launch of a new season. Dubbed Interlude Season, this phase will allow players to collect diamonds to gain an advantage in the upcoming Season 2. Interlude Season serves as a warm-up, with significant opportunities expected for those who participate.
