Hamster Kombat Unveils Season 1 Results with 131 Million Players Qualified for Airdrop

Hamster Kombat, a popular tap-to-earn (T2E) game on Telegram, has announced the results of its first season, which concluded on September 20, in anticipation of the upcoming launch of its native token HMSTR later this week.

According to the developers, between March and September 2024, the game attracted over 300 million active players. However, only about 131 million players have qualified for the airdrop.

Initially, Hamster Kombat promised to reward everyone who engaged with the game by completing daily tasks and challenges. As a result, the Telegram-based blockchain project inspired by Notcoin (NOT), another T2E game that introduced the airdrop reward system,  garnered significant attention from both Web2 and Web3 gaming communities.

However, the dynamic shifted last week when the project implemented an anti-cheating strategy to counteract malicious actors attempting to exploit the system. The team warned that cheaters would be disqualified from receiving airdrop rewards.

Following a platform snapshot on September 20, Hamster Kombat revealed that 2.3 million users had been banned for cheating, automatically disqualifying them from the airdrop.

With nearly 2.5 million players disqualified, only 131 million players remain eligible for the airdrop. However, not all qualified users have chosen their preferred withdrawal method. The game reported that 30.6 million players have yet to decide, though they can still claim their airdrop after the deadline.

On Friday, September 19, Hamster Kombat introduced a new reward program for users opting to receive their airdrop via its Telegram wallet. According to the announcement, users who select this option can earn up to 300% APY on their assets.

The game has allocated 75% of HMSTR’s total supply of 100 billion tokens to the community, with 60% dedicated to rewarding qualified players from Season 1. Of this amount, 88.75% will be airdropped immediately, while the remaining 11.25% will be vested over ten months before becoming available.

Hamster Kombat has also reserved an additional 15% of the token supply for a future airdrop in Season 2. The game developers teased users to expect more exciting features in the upcoming season.

The game has already partnered with major crypto exchanges for the listing of HMSTR. Once the airdrop is completed on September 26, users will be able to trade the digital asset on exchanges like Binance, OKX, KuCoin, Bybit, Bitget, and Gate.io.
