Hamster Kombat’s Ambitious Roadmap
Hamster Kombat has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for 2025 following its token launch on The Open Network (TON). With plans to expand its Web3 gaming portfolio, introduce NFT rewards, and implement a token buyback strategy, big changes are on the horizon for the popular Telegram game.
Season Two and New Titles
In October, Hamster Kombat is set to launch the highly anticipated second season of the game. This new season will bring a significant expansion to its game library with the introduction of new titles.
External Payment Systems and NFTs
The developers are also focused on integrating external payment systems, which will create an on-ramp for players. This is a crucial step as the game plans to integrate NFTs in November, providing players with unique digital assets and enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Cohort of Third-Party Games
Hamster Kombat aims to publish its first cohort of games developed by third-party developers. These games will be accessible through the upcoming Hamster Kombat progressive web app (PWA) available on iOS, Android, and desktop platforms. This move will help the game become less reliant on Telegram and reach a broader audience.
How To Engage Users Post-AirDrop
Airdrop Allocations
On September 23, the Hamster Kombat team disclosed the allocations for its eagerly awaited airdrop event. Out of its 300 million users, 131 million are eligible to receive the airdrop, which accounts for 43% of its total user base.
Strategies for User Engagement
To maintain user engagement post-airdrop, the team has devised several strategies. Notably, 11.25% of tokens distributed after Season 1 will be vested and unlocked 10 months after the listing. Given the project’s rapid development, the value of these tokens could match their initial unlock value.
The team emphasizes a value proposition centered around the games within its ecosystem, rather than just earnings. This approach diverges from the traditional method where Web3 developers primarily focus on airdrop hunters. By creating engaging content, Hamster Kombat aims to attract more players by merging the best elements of Web2 and Web3.
Hamster Kombat Plans For Token Buyback and Burning
Advertising Network Launch
The company will launch a dedicated advertising network in December 2024, which will be utilized by games within the Hamster ecosystem. This network is expected to generate significant ad revenue.
Token Buyback and Burn
The team plans to use the ad revenue to buy back tokens from the market for regular distribution to players and for token burns. This strategy aims to enhance the value of the tokens and benefit the player community.
Expansion Beyond Telegram
While Telegram will continue to be an essential part of Hamster Kombat and its ecosystem, the team is looking to expand its reach. By targeting an audience beyond Telegram, Hamster Kombat aims to capture a wider demographic and grow its player base significantly.
