Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), a play-to-earn mobile game on the Telegram platform, has just received strong support from the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, ahead of its much-anticipated airdrop. The exchange has launched Operation Mega, which is considered the hub for Hamster Kombat.
The clicker game has just completed a snapshot for Season 1 and has locked token distribution for its upcoming token generation event (TGE) on September 26. With over 300 million active users, the game's anti-cheat strategy has been controversial, with many players being criticized for being labeled as cheaters.
Secret Airdrop Announced
In a recent post, Binance announced the Hamster Kombat Mega Campaign, giving away $30,000 in HMSTR vouchers. Users need to complete a number of tasks to have a chance to receive rewards from the fund.
Hamster Kombat has been added to Binance Launchpool, participating in one of the largest token farming events of 2024, allowing users to earn new tokens by staking BNB and FDUSD, with the HMSTR token set to be listed on September 26, 2024.
From September 19 to 25, participants can farm up to 3 billion HMSTR tokens, representing 3% of the total supply. 85% of these (2.55 billion HMSTR) will be allocated to the BNB pool, while 15% (450 million HMSTR) will be allocated to the FDUSD pool.
Outrage in the community
The Season 1 airdrop caused outrage in the crypto community when around 63% of players were disqualified before the event. These were allegedly due to lack of in-game keys, although they were not initially announced as a determining factor. Many gamers felt cheated as this wasted months of effort in accumulating points per hour (PPH).
While Hamster Kombat has not yet responded to the issue, they have announced that the game will be moving into an “Interlude Season” – which will last for a few weeks and users who participate will receive an advantage for the next season.
