Hamster Kombat is gaining significant attention in the world of Web 3 and beyond due to its rapidly growing user base, leading to expectations of it becoming a prominent crypto project.
Exploring Hamster Kombat
Hamster Kombat is a unique telegram-based game that follows the ‘tap-to-earn’ concept, where users earn coins by tapping. However, it sets itself apart by being more than just a traditional clicking game, instead positioning itself as a “crypto exchange CEO simulator.” Players embody the role of a hamster CEO of a crypto exchange in the game.
Users, as the Hamster CEO, undertake various tasks to evolve their exchange from a startup to a top player in the market. Beyond just clicking to earn coins, players need to strategize using accumulated points to enhance their exchange and climb the ranks in the game.
Hamster Kombat is attracting attention partly due to the success of Notcoin, another telegram-based game that popularized the ‘tap-to-earn’ model earlier this year. Notcoin made headlines for acquiring over 35 million players and distributing 80 billion NOT tokens through airdrops.
Following Notcoin’s success, Hamster Kombat has announced plans for a token launch and airdrop on The Open Network (TON), though specifics about the airdrop date are pending. Players can integrate their wallets with the game, hinting at an imminent token launch and airdrop. The team also clarified the airdrop criteria, advising players not to solely focus on coin balances.
Since its launch in March, Hamster Kombat has experienced substantial growth, garnering over 200 million users according to the team’s claims. The game’s popularity is evident through its massive social media following, including 11 million followers on X (previously Twitter) and 31 million subscribers on YouTube.
TON Network’s Boost from Tap-to-Earn Games
Games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin have significantly contributed to the rise in TON’s daily active users, soaring from approximately 16,000 in January to over 300,000 as per data from Token Terminal. This surge has also propelled the value of Toncoin, boasting a year-to-date gain of 232%.
The TON ecosystem could witness further user growth with other tap-to-earn games on the horizon like TapSwap and Catizen. These games are anticipated to launch their tokens on TON and conduct airdrops similar to Notcoin.
