Hamster Kombat, a popular tap-to-earn game based on the TON blockchain, has officially announced the date for its much-anticipated token generation event (TGE) and subsequent airdrop. The event is scheduled for September 26th, despite ongoing legal challenges in Russia from alleged early investors.
With over 300 million active users, Hamster Kombat has become a major player in the blockchain gaming space. The team behind the game has confirmed that the token, known as HMSTR, will be distributed to millions of users during the upcoming airdrop. Originally planned for July, the airdrop faced delays, first moving to August and later postponed without a fixed date. The team described the event as a “technically complex undertaking, unprecedented in the blockchain world.”
According to Hamster Kombat’s recently released whitepaper, 60% of the total HMSTR token supply will be allocated to users as a reward for the game’s widespread popularity. To enhance the token’s utility, the team has introduced new games and built an infrastructure centered around HMSTR. This move aims to solidify the token’s role within the Hamster Kombat ecosystem.
Despite these promising developments, Hamster Kombat has not addressed some pressing concerns. Russian media reports indicate that the project is facing legal actions from Ad.ru, a major investor in Arenum, the company allegedly responsible for producing Hamster Kombat. These legal issues could potentially impact the upcoming airdrop, but the extent of their influence remains unclear.
Interestingly, the Hamster Kombat team previously declined numerous venture capital investments to avoid making “exit liquidity” out of players anticipating the airdrop. They emphasized that they wanted to ensure everyone has “the same opportunity.”
Meanwhile, HMSTR tokens have already started being traded on platforms offering pre-market trading options, reflecting strong interest from the community despite the uncertainties surrounding the project.
