Hit Telegram Game Hamster Kombat Unveils Whitepaper, Token Plans

Today, Telegram clicker game Hamster Kombat introduced its whitepaper, which revealed token allocation plans and how the rapidly rising title now boasts 300 million players.

What’s the scoop?

• In the whitepaper, the game's anonymous team announced that 60% of the upcoming HMSTR token will be allocated to players, while the rest will go towards market liquidity and ecosystem partnerships.
• Initially planned for July 2024, the HMSTR token airdrop is delayed for now, with the team citing technical challenges.

Bankless Take:

TON-based Telegram games continue to charge full steam ahead. Roleplaying as a crypto CEO building an exchange in Hamster Kombat is certainly making for a strong product market fit, with the game's achievement of 300 million players meaning its user base now equals double Russia’s population.

On that note, the game has a contentious relationship with the country as well, as a local lawmaker, Anatoly Aksakov, has called for Hamster Kombat to be banned, while 40% of Russians have heard of the game per a recent All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) survey. That's a lot of attention, but whether Hamster Kombat retains this post-airdrop will be the real test.
