$HMSTR Hamster Kombat Eyes Revival Amid Declining Monthly Active Users

Web3 gaming sensation Hamster Kombat is preparing for a resurgence as it confronts a notable drop in monthly active users (MAUs). Once boasting a staggering 300 million MAUs in August, the game’s user base has now declined to around 30 million.

Despite this sharp decrease, the Hamster Kombat team remains unfazed, attributing the decline to the game’s seasonal structure. “Our project operates in seasons, so fluctuations like this are expected. We’re currently in an interlude period, gearing up for the launch of season two,” shared a team spokesperson. They emphasized that maintaining over 30 million MAUs during a transitional phase highlights the game’s continued relevance and engagement.

Beyond its player base, Hamster Kombat has maintained robust activity in its ecosystem. The game’s HMSTR token has reported an impressive daily trading volume of $1.3 billion, with cumulative perpetual trading volumes surpassing $4 billion. Additionally, the project has amassed a loyal community of 11 million token holders, further cementing its position in the blockchain gaming sector.

Looking ahead, Hamster Kombat plans to expand its reach into new markets and attract more token holders. The team is also focused on reactivating season one participants while setting the stage for its next chapter.

Meanwhile, competition within the Web3 gaming space is heating up. Telegram Mini Apps like Paws, Blum, and Major are rapidly gaining traction. Paws currently leads the pack with 40.7 million MAUs, while Blum follows closely with 34.9 million MAUs, combining features of centralized and decentralized exchanges with an interactive clicker game that lets users earn token-convertible points.

As Hamster Kombat works on its comeback, its innovative gameplay and strong market presence are expected to keep it a key player in the blockchain gaming industry.
