Hamster Kombat breaks the 300 million user mark and prepares the “largest airdrop” in cryptocurrency history
Who would have thought that a game about hamsters would become a new cryptocurrency phenomenon? But here we are - Hamster Kombat has already conquered the minds of millions and is preparing to stage the biggest airdrop in the history of cryptocurrencies. Let's break down what's going on in this unexpected cryptohit.
Hamster boom: from zero to millions in a matter of months
Imagine this: a simple clicker game on Telegram where you tap on the screen, supposedly controlling a virtual cryptocurrency exchange. Sounds like just another five minutes of fun, right? But it's not! Hamster Kombat has managed to attract 300 million players in less than six months since its launch in March 2024.
Let's stop for a second and realize the scale: 100 million users in two months is a record that could go into the Guinness Book of World Records. And now those numbers have tripled. It looks like we're witnessing the birth of a new crypto-giant, and it's fluffy and ponytailed.
Largest Airdrop
But the creators of Hamster Kombat are not going to stop there. They announced the launch of their own token HMSTR and promise to hold “the largest airdrop in the history of cryptocurrencies.” Sounds ambitious, doesn't it?
Here's what we know about the upcoming event:
-- 60% of the Airdrop's volume will be distributed to players
-- The rest will go towards market liquidity, ecosystem partnerships, grants and team rewards
-- The exact details of the tokenomics are being kept secret for now
Interestingly, the Hamster Kombat team claims that they have no venture capital or early investment in the token. This means that the value of HMSTR will be determined solely by organic demand. But let's be realistic: to truly become the “largest airdrop,” they'll have to surpass Uniswap's legendary UNI token drop, which was valued at over $6.43 billion.
From hamster fights to a gaming empire?
But it looks like the Hamster Foundation's ambitions extend much further than a simple clicker game. They plan to create an entire gaming ecosystem that will include:
-- A publishing platform for game studios of all sizes
-- Support for all gaming platforms, including PCs and consoles.
-- Developing new revenue streams to avoid selling HMSTR tokens
-- Possible grant programs for third-party developers (in fiat currency so as not to create pressure on the token)
Sounds like a plan to take over the world, doesn't it? Except instead of tanks, we have cute fluffy hamsters.
Well, it looks like the world of cryptocurrencies is ready to surprise us again. Who would have thought that the next big breakthrough will come not from another blockchain startup with a big name, but thanks to a game, the essence of which is to tap on the screen?
Meanwhile, Pavel Durov has already praised Hamster Kombat as a viral project that will attract hundreds of million
s of new users to cryptocurrencies.
