According to Bybit’s official announcement, tokens trading in the premarket are recorded as points, which will be converted to the official token following the token generation event expected to occur later this month. The announcement also specified that the Hamster Kombat team would be the one setting the points to the HMSTR token conversion rate. “Once the conversion rate is announced by the project team, your point orders will automatically convert to regular token orders with the same total value,” the announcement states.

During the time of writing this article, there has been quite a lot of HMSTR pre-market activity going on at Bybit, with filled order prices ranging from $0.120 to $0.178. While this does provide insight into potential HMSTR prices following the token’s official spot market launch, it doesn’t mean that the token will actually trade at these prices once it launches. After all, we don’t yet know anything about the initial circulating supply, airdrop distribution schemes, or other tokenomics details that will have an impact on the price.

The 'fastest growing digital service' in the world

Hamster Kombat is a viral phenomenon that was launched as a mini-app on Telegram in March. At its core, it is a clicker (or “tapper”) game simulating running a cryptocurrency exchange. In the relatively brief period since its launch, the game amassed over 239 million users, 31 million YouTube subscribers, and 12 million Twitter followers, becoming the “fastest-growing digital service in the time period,” according to Telegram founder Pavel Durov.

It is widely believed that once the game’s official token launches, players who collect in-game currency will receive distribution of tokens that will be (at least in part) based on their in-game balances. To boost their earnings, players regularly follow Hamster Kombat daily ciphers and combos, which allow them to earn millions of coins for free.
