Hamster Kombat ($HMSTR) , the popular tap-to-earn game on Telegram, has just announced that players will not be able to claim all of their HMSTR tokens immediately upon release.

Community Disappointment 😡

According to the latest announcement from the developer, only 88.75% of the total tokens will be available for immediate claim. The remaining 11.25% will be locked and released over a period of 10 months, expected to be completed by July 2025. This rule has caused frustration in the community, due to the unexpected delay in the token receiving process.

Hamster Kombat will issue a total of 60 billion HMSTR tokens from a supply of 100 billion. In addition, 15 billion tokens will be reserved for Season 2, which is expected to launch after the “Interlude season” lasting a few weeks.

Season 1 has been snapshotted, and this will be used to distribute tokens at the Token Generation Event (TGE) on September 26th, which is also the first time the value of HMSTR will be determined when it begins trading on The Open Network (TON).

Another controversial issue is Hamster Kombat’s anti-cheat measures. Of the 300 million players on Telegram, only 129 million are eligible for the airdrop. The game initially had 131 million users, but 2.3 million accounts were found to be cheating and were removed from the program. Violators were even banned and given “Achievement Unlocked: Cheating is Bad” as a reminder to encourage fairness in the game.

Compared to recent airdrops like $CATI , many Hamster Kombat players feel this distribution is unfair, especially for the friend referral program and additional key earning, which are only added later in the game.
