The popular Telegram-based crypto game, Hamster Kombat, is gearing up for an exciting and highly anticipated event. With over 300 million players globally, this tap-to-earn game is set to release its first season of rewards on September 20, 2024. However, the excitement doesn’t end there—Hamster Kombat is also preparing to launch its new HMSTR token on The Open Network (TON), followed by a massive airdrop and a Binance Launchpool campaign.
While the upcoming events have stirred excitement, some experts are concerned about whether TON can handle the traffic, especially given its previous outages. Let’s dive into what players and crypto enthusiasts can expect.
Hamster Kombat Season 1 Wrap-Up
Hamster Kombat has been a major hit in the Telegram gaming space, and now, the game’s first in-game season is coming to an end. By September 20, all players’ achievements—including coins, skins, keys, and other rewards—will be converted into HMSTR tokens. Players who level up before the season concludes can earn a bigger share of these tokens.
At 6 PM UTC on September 20, the platform will take a snapshot of players’ progress to set the stage for the HMSTR token airdrop. This highly anticipated event is part of Hamster Kombat’s broader plan to reward its player base and fuel upcoming updates. What’s grabbing even more attention is the upcoming token launch on September 26. Players will soon be able to trade Hamster Kombat’s new HMSTR token, with 60% of the total supply allocated for airdrops.
Massive Airdrop and Binance Launchpool
Binance’s Launchpool will distribute 3 billion out of the 100 billion total HMSTR tokens. Starting on September 19, Binance users will be able to stake their Binance Coin (BNB) or FDUSD to earn HMSTR tokens. Although the token has garnered a global audience, users from certain countries will not be able to participate in the Binance campaign.
As Hamster Kombat has a substantial player base, the Launchpool campaign is expected to attract significant interest. However, this has led to concerns about whether TON can handle the surge in demand, especially after previous technical difficulties.
Can TON Handle the Load?
The TON blockchain experienced downtime twice last month due to the DOGS airdrop. The upcoming Hamster airdrop is expected to be even larger, raising concerns about the network’s capacity to handle the pressure. The TON core developer team has acknowledged these concerns, but despite the challenges, the team remains hopeful.
What’s Next for Hamster Kombat?
As players await the token launch, Hamster Kombat has also introduced an anti-cheating strategy to ensure fair play. This is especially crucial as the game moves into Season 2, which promises even bigger rewards and updates.

The game’s team is clear: cheating won’t be tolerated, and fair players will have the best chance of earning the upcoming airdrop. With Hamster Kombat aiming to become the largest Web3 gaming platform, maintaining integrity within its growing community is key.
