Hamster Kombat: Iran's Latest Crypto Craze
What is Hamster Kombat? š„
Until a few weeks ago, Hamster Kombat was relatively unknown, but it has quickly become a hot topic among young people in Iran.
Some engage with it humorously, while others spend hours daily tapping their screens, seeking answers to their questions about the game.
Launched in March on Telegram, Hamster Kombat is a decentralized virtual environment that supports decentralized applications.
The game begins with a Telegram mini-application, allowing users to invite others to tap their mobile screens to collect coins and advertise it on their social media pages.
The game's creator aims to list these coins on cryptocurrency exchanges, like the popular Telegram game "NotCoin," with prices determined by supply and demand.
The game's formula for "profit in one hour" enables users to transfer or "airdrop" tokens and potentially convert them into real money.
Unanswered Questions and Concerns
Despite its popularity, Hamster Kombat remains shrouded in mystery. Alireza Manafi, an internet and digital security researcher in Toronto, said that many fundamental aspects of the game are unclear.
Unlike many established cryptocurrencies, Hamster Kombat does not have a white paper. A white paper is crucial as it provides detailed information about the cryptocurrency, including its technology, development plans, and the underlying companyās vision.
The absence of such a document indicates a lack of transparency and detailed planning.
The game does not provide clear information about its privacy policy. Users are left in the dark about what happens when they tap their phonesāwhether they are mining cryptocurrency, where their data goes, and the overall purpose of their actions.
