- Hamster Kombat has 250M users, origins unknown, first airdrop soon.
- Hamster Kombat as a global family, unlike other games.
- Notcoin founder doubts longevity; only sustainable models will survive.
Hamster Kombat leads the pack of Telegram-based ‘clicker’ games with 250M users. Despite its popularity, little is known about its origins or creators. Speculation is rife in the crypto world, especially with the game’s first airdrop expected this month.
In an email to The Block, Hamster Kombat’s founders shared insights about the game’s beginnings and future. They described Hamster Kombat as more than a game—it’s a global family with a strong community focus.
This vision contrasts with other developers who distance themselves from their earlier projects. Sasha, the founder of Notcoin—the first Telegram crypto clicker game—expressed doubts about the longevity of such games.
Hamster Kombat players act as CEOs of a fictional cryptocurrency exchange, earning in-game coins by clicking. The game, like Notcoin, is accessible through the Telegram app, which has nearly 1 billion users.
Many hope to convert their in-game rewards into real cash once the game airdrops tokens.
Notcoin previously airdropped over 80 billion NOT tokens, worth about $1 billion at the time.
Second Airdrop Underway
Inspired by Notcoin’s success and social media games from the 2010s, Hamster Kombat added its unique philosophy of unity and education. The founders also drew inspiration from meme stocks and social media, particularly the GameStop and Reddit saga.
Hamster Kombat’s founders are optimistic about the game’s future, with a second airdrop planned within the next two years. They believe the token, owned by millions globally, holds significant value.
Using the TON Blockchain, like Notcoin and Catizen, Hamster Kombat has seen a surge in blockchain activity. To maintain game integrity, the founders plan to combat bot use. They aim to ban bot accounts, similar to Notcoin, and discourage referral cheating. However, they have no plans to restrict users from playing on multiple devices.
