Hamster Kombat, the largest mini-game on the TON blockchain, is making waves with its upcoming launch on Binance on September 26, 2024. This event marks Hamster Kombat as the fifth project from the TON ecosystem to debut on the Binance Launchpool, highlighting the growing popularity of decentralized gaming platforms.
According to user statistics reported by EmberCN, Hamster Kombat boasts an astonishing 300 million total accounts, with daily active users reaching 32 million and monthly active users at 82 million. Additionally, the game has seen the creation of over 55 million bound wallets, indicating a robust and engaged player base.
The native token of the game, HMSTR, has a total supply of 100 billion tokens. Upon listing, 64.375% of these tokens (64.375 billion) will be in circulation. Notably, a significant portion—53.25%—is earmarked for airdrops, while other allocations include 3% for Binance mining, 4% for liquidity, 4% for market initiatives, and 0.13% for partners. Interestingly, about 60% of the total tokens will be distributed through airdrops at launch.
Currently, HMSTR is trading over-the-counter (OTC) at approximately $0.01, resulting in a circulating market value of around $643 million.
Despite its popularity, Hamster Kombat has faced controversies regarding the distribution of HMSTR tokens. Reports indicate that token allocation is largely determined by the number of friends invited via referral links, rather than gameplay achievements. This has caused dissatisfaction among dedicated players who feel their efforts in the game are undervalued.
In response to concerns about fairness, Hamster Kombat has recently taken action against cheating, banning over 2.3 million accounts and recovering 6.8 billion tokens. Half of these recovered tokens will be redistributed to honest players, while the other half will be destroyed, aiming to restore balance within the community.
Interestingly, Hamster Kombat has also influenced the Russian e-commerce market. Players have reportedly been purchasing fascia guns to enhance their "hamster knocking" abilities within the game. This unusual trend has led to a spike in sales of fascia guns on Russian e-commerce platforms, showcasing the game's unexpected cultural impact.
As Hamster Kombat prepares for its Binance launch, it stands as a testament to the growing potential of blockchain gaming within the TON ecosystem. While the game grapples with distribution controversies and regulatory challenges, its impressive user statistics and cultural influence suggest that it will continue to thrive in the competitive landscape of decentralized gaming. Players and investors alike will be watching closely as this innovative project unfolds.
