The crypto gaming world is buzzing with new projects, and while Hamster Kombat was once seen as the next millionaire-maker, its recent performance, particularly regarding airdrop distribution, has left much to be desired. In contrast, #GrandCombat stands out, and Iâve decided to invest 0.2 TON in it. In this article, Iâll explain why this investment is based on sound reasoning, starting with a fundamental difference between these two games: tokenomics.
--- Tokenomics: The Key Factor
One of the primary reasons I chose Grand Combat is its clear and transparent tokenomics. Unfortunately, many players in these Telegram-based games seem to overlook this critical factor, likely due to a lack of understanding of blockchain and cryptocurrency basics. In fact, comments on relevant articles or YouTube videos reveal how many people still struggle with setting up wallets, transferring tokens, or understanding transaction fees.
The problem is further compounded by the fact that few players seem to know about whitepapers or the tokenomics sections within them, which detail token supplies and planned distributions.
--- #HamsterKombat vs. Grand Combat: A Tokenomics Comparison
Both Hamster Kombat and Grand Combat have whitepapers, but the $HMSTR tokenomics are vague and require significant effort to understand. By contrast, Grand Combat lays out its tokenomics clearly and comprehensively, making it much easier for investors to grasp its goals.
A glance at the chart above highlights key differences. The most obvious is the sheer size of $HMSTRâs token supplyâ100 billion versus $GRANDâs 1 billion, a 100x difference. This is further magnified when comparing the number of users: Hamster Kombat boasts around 300 million participants, while Grand Combat has just over 5 million, a 60x difference.
Even after some users were removed from the $HMSTR airdrop distribution, the disparity remains significant. Based on these figures alone, players in Grand Combat stand to receive a larger share of tokens.
However, the real kicker is the difference in airdrop allocations. Hamster Kombat assigned a staggering 60% of its total supply to airdrops, while Grand Combat limited it to just 10%. While this might seem like greed on Grand Combatâs part, itâs important to remember that $HMSTRâs high airdrop percentage is a major factor in its tokenâs price freefall.
--- The Lack of Structure in Hamster Kombat's Tokenomics
In comparison, Hamster Kombatâs tokenomics feel haphazard. While Grand Combat has carefully allocated percentages for each area, Hamster Kombat lumped 40% of its tokens into vague categories like market liquidity, partnerships, and rewards.
One of Hamster Kombatâs biggest mistakes was failing to implement a vesting schedule for its token distribution. Players had the option to stake their airdropped tokens for just 7 days or sell them immediately. Predictably, many chose the latter, leading to a dramatic drop in the tokenâs price.
On the other hand, Grand Combatâs vesting plan is well-structured. Even the shortest vesting periodâfor the 10% airdropâis three months, with the longest vesting period stretching to 24 months for the treasury and Grand Rewards.
--- Grand Combatâs Airdrop Strategy
Grand Combat has already announced two airdrops, but what they havenât officially mentioned is that the first airdrop only accounts for 3% of the overall 10% airdrop allocation. The remaining 7% is reserved for a second airdrop in March 2025.
According to the Grand Combat whitepaper, the first airdrop will take place on November 15th at 10:00 CET. The team will take a snapshot of the player base and distribute 30 million $GRAND tokens based on each playerâs Profit Per Hour (PPH). Calculating the number of tokens each player will receive is straightforward: divide an individualâs PPH by the total PPH of all users, and then allocate a share of the 30 million tokens based on that percentage.
After the first airdrop, all players' points and PPH will reset, giving everyone a fresh chance to participate in the second airdrop. This mirrors the system used in XEmpire, and the second airdrop will be largerâlikely due to an expected surge in users.
--- Why I Chose to Invest 0.2 TON
My decision to invest 0.2 TON in Grand Combat is based on the projectâs transparent and clearly presented whitepaper. If the airdrop is anything like Hamster Kombatâs, I expect to recoup my initial investment, but I believe it will be even more profitable. Once positive reports of the airdrop's outcome circulate, I foresee a significant influx of new players, and Grand Combat could capture a larger share of the market.
With only three days left until the first airdrop, now is the time to join the action. Join my clan, claim your share of the first airdrop, and get ready for the second one in 2025.
