In a groundbreaking move, the developers behind the popular Telegram clicker game Hamster Kombat have announced the details of their highly anticipated season one airdrop. The team revealed that a staggering 60 billion Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) tokens will be distributed to eligible users, with 88.75% of the allocation available immediately and the remaining 11.25% vested for 10 months after the token’s listing on exchanges.
The Hamster Kombat team stated that 75 billion of the project’s 100 billion total tokens are allocated to community members, with 60% of the supply to be airdropped after season one and the remaining 15% distributed during season two. This means that approximately 53.25 billion tokens will be instantly airdropped to users, while 6.75 billion tokens will be released 10 months after the token’s listing.
The game, which has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, boasts over 300 million users. However, the team also revealed that only 131 million users, or 43% of the total user count, are eligible for the airdrop due to the banning of 2.3 million users for cheating.
The Hamster Kombat team has described the upcoming airdrop as the “largest airdrop in the history of crypto,” with most of the volume going to the players and the rest allocated for liquidity, ecosystem partnerships, grants, rewarding squads, and other items. The team also turned down offers from venture capital firms, ensuring that there would be no early investments in the token and that its value would be determined solely by the market.
The success of Hamster Kombat has been attributed to its ability to onboard millions of new users to the crypto space, with Telegram founder Pavel Durov stating that the game’s popularity could contribute significantly to Web3 adoption.
