- Hamster Kombat’s HMSTR token launches on September 26 at 10 PM AEST, following much anticipation from players on Telegram.

Next to Notcoin (NOT) and Catizen (CATI), Hamster Kombat is one of the most hyped-up crypto minigames on Telegram, and its players have been long awaiting the launch of the project’s HMSTR token, which starts on September 26 10 PM AEST.

If you’re eligible for the HMSTR token airdrop, you can claim your tokens through the Hamster Kombat mini app on Telegram. One of the few available withdrawal methods so far is via the new EBI Exchange, which is available as an APK for Android users only. However, those who don’t choose a method before the listing can use a “direct claim” feature after the token is listed on September 26.
What is Hamster Kombat?
Undeniably one of the largest tap-to-earn games in Telegram, Hamster Kombat has seen rapid success since its launch in March of this year, amassing over 300 million players (according to the project).
The game revolves around simple tapping mechanics, accessible as a Telegram mini-app. Its main goal is to earn HMSTR coins by tapping on a hamster image and completing other tasks. The coins can be used to upgrade the hamster’s abilities or trade them in the game’s built-in exchange.
In the first phase of Hamster Kombat’s airdrop season, 75% of the 100B HMSTR tokens were allocated to the community. However, only 141M of the 300M users were eligible for the airdrop, but not in full, it seems. Over 2.3M users were banned for cheating, too, after the game carefully analysed players’ behaviour thanks to its anti-cheat system.
Hamster Kombat’s 2025 Roadmap Revealed
Like many other Telegram-based games, Hamster Combat is moving beyond the typical tap-to-earn game by expanding its ecosystem with new functionalities, new tournaments, challenges, and other incentives for players.
Notcoin is another popular game that announced its intentions of moving beyond the typical tapping mechanics and instead embracing new features, such as the new explore-to-earn functionality, in which users are rewarded for interacting with decentralised applications (dApps).

Going back to Hamster Kombat, the project plans to introduce an ad network for games within its ecosystem by December 2024, and the revenue generated from this network will fund a token buyback and burn program. That means users will be rewarded with additional tokens while creating scarcity, which could increase HMSTR’s value over time.
Moving on, its roadmap for 2025 includes initiatives like an NFT marketplace for trading in-game assets, a competitive clan championship to encourage competition and a second phase of its airdrop.
