Hamster Kombat Hits 150M Players in One Week
Hamster Kombat, the Telegram-based crypto game, has skyrocketed to over 150 million players within just one week, marking a 50% surge in popularity among Telegram users.
What is Hamster Kombat?
Hamster Kombat has captivated Telegram users with its distinctive gameplay and crypto rewards system. Players manage a virtual hamster's crypto exchange, earning points that can be exchanged for an upcoming token airdrop. Accessible directly within the Telegram app, the game requires no additional downloads and has rapidly become one of the platform's most popular mini-apps.
One in Five Telegram Users Engage
The game's recent surge means nearly one in five Telegram users have joined Hamster Kombat. Last week, developers announced surpassing the 100 million user milestone, underscoring its rapid growth. The game's Telegram announcement channel now boasts over 35 million subscribers, making it the most followed channel on the app. Additionally, Hamster Kombat has gained significant traction on other platforms, with 23 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.7 million followers on X (formerly Twitter).
Gameplay and Features
Hamster Kombat offers simple yet engaging gameplay. Players click on a hamster icon to earn in-game coins, simulating the role of a CEO managing a crypto exchange. Players can choose from exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX to grow their virtual businesses. The game follows a clicker model, requiring continuous engagement to earn coins and level up.
To expedite progress, players can leverage daily rewards, complete tasks such as joining Telegram groups or following social media accounts, and invite friends. Spending coins on enhancements like click efficiency boosts or energy limit increases helps players advance faster. The game also includes a mining feature where players passively earn coins by engaging in simulated crypto activities.
Future Plans and Crypto Integration
Developers of Hamster Kombat have hinted at an upcoming token airdrop scheduled for July, akin to the strategy of its predecessor, Notcoin. Players can prepare for this airdrop by linking their wallets to the TON blockchain, utilizing the native currency Toncoin. This integration with The Open Network (TON), Telegram’s blockchain of choice, has further enhanced the game's appeal and credibility.
Impact on Crypto Gaming
The success of Hamster Kombat has not only attracted a massive player base but also influenced the broader crypto gaming ecosystem. Other Telegram-based games with token airdrop plans, such as Tapswap and Yescoin, have announced their upcoming launches on the TON blockchain, aiming to replicate Hamster Kombat’s success.
Hamster Kombat's rapid growth and innovative gameplay underscore the evolving landscape of crypto gaming within Telegram, setting a new benchmark for future in-app games and token-based rewards systems. For more information about Hamster Kombat, please visit the official website here.
