According to Cointelegraph: Hamster Kombat, the popular Telegram-based clicker game, has hit a staggering 300 million players in just under five months since its March 2024 launch. This impressive growth has positioned it as a standout in the realm of Telegram games and tap-to-earn games. The game's creators are now preparing for what they promise to be the "largest airdrop in crypto history," focusing on their native Hamster Kombat token (HMSTR).

Rapid Growth and Potential Records

Hamster Kombat's meteoric rise, previously setting a record by hitting 100 million users within two months, could potentially earn it a Guinness World Record. The team recently announced an upcoming HMSTR token airdrop, which they claim will be the biggest ever in the Web3 industry.

Airdrop Details and Tokenomics

According to the announcement, 60% of the airdrop's volume will be distributed directly to players, while the remaining tokens will support market liquidity, ecosystem partnerships, grants, and squad rewards. The Hamster Foundation, the team behind the project, highlighted that there are no venture capital or early investments involved, ensuring that the token's value will be driven purely by organic demand and community engagement.

Competing for the Title of Largest Airdrop

To achieve the title of the largest airdrop in crypto history, Hamster Kombat's token distribution will need to surpass events like Uniswap's UNI airdrop, which had a valuation of over $6.43 billion. Whether they can reach this milestone remains to be seen.

Future Developments and Ecosystem Expansion

Beyond the airdrop, the team has ambitious plans to expand the Hamster Kombat ecosystem. They aim to develop a comprehensive gaming ecosystem that includes PC and console games, intending to introduce the next billion players to the crypto world. Additionally, the Hamster Foundation plans to implement various revenue streams to sustain the ecosystem without depending on the sale of HMSTR tokens. This includes launching ecosystem grant programs for third-party developers, with funding denominated in fiat currency to minimize any selling pressure on the HMSTR token.

Hamster Kombat is rapidly establishing itself as a major player in the Web3 gaming space, offering innovative experiences and opportunities for its fast-growing community.
