Telegram Game Hamster Kombat Plans to Airdrop 60% of Tokens to Users

Telegram-based tap game Hamster Kombat, has announced plans for what it claims to be the largest crypto airdrop in history, allocating 60% of its token supply to users.

For context, this would mean surpassing other significant airdrops like Uniswap’s $4.50 billion that airdropped 15% of its supply in 2020 and Arbitrum’s $1.7 billion worth airdrop that airdropped 12.75% of its supply to the community in 2022. Optimism airdropped 5%, ENS did 25% and Ether.fi did 11%/

The airdrop announcement follows the game’s decision to delay its airdrop plans in July.

Hamster Kombat has not provided a specific launch timeline nor published a detailed tokenomics breakdown for the forthcoming second season. The game’s white paper notes that about 40% of the remaining supply would go to ecosystem grants, partnerships, market liquidity, and other roadmap milestones.

“Since we have neither investment firms nor VCs backing us, there is no extra sell pressure, and the community-driven token and its value will be determined by demand, supply, and community interest,” the white paper read. “Where there are investors involved, the exit liquidity for them might mean every single one of you, Hamsters.”

Auto-Clicking Bots

The white paper also claims that Hamster Kombat has surpassed 300 million global players, though it remains unclear how many of those may be bots. There are several online tutorials and resources available that teach users how to use auto-clicking bots for unfair advantages.

On GitHub alone, several Python-based automation tools are tailored specifically for Hamster Kombat. These bots automate all in-game tasks, such as auto-tapping, completing cipher tasks, and purchasing the best cards.

Hamster Kombat is a crypto exchange CEO simulator game where players create profiles and engage in activities to boost their coin balance and passive income. Players complete daily combos, ciphers, and earn rewards, while the game offers tasks that optimize income without constant tapping.

Telegram-based crypto games started gaining popularity earlier this year on The Open Network (TON), spearheaded by Notcoin. Notcoin attracted 35 million players and reached a market capitalization of $1.6 billion within two months of its launch in May.

Data from Token Terminal indicates that TON’s active daily user count surged from to an all-time high of 742,000 on July 30, a 77% increase in the last two days.
