Hamster Kombat, the wildly popular Telegram game, has sent its dedicated player base into a frenzy with a recent update hinting at the eagerly awaited airdrop. This update introduces a new “Points” section within the game’s airdrop feature, potentially signaling the long-awaited distribution of the game’s native token, $HMSTR.
New Points System Fuels Speculation
The update introduces a crucial addition – a “Points” section within the airdrop tab. This section outlines various in-game activities that will contribute to a player’s airdrop allocation. These activities include:
- Passive Income (Profit per hour): This suggests that players who effectively build their in-game economies will be rewarded handsomely.
- Earn Tasks (Daily Collection and Watching Hamster’s YouTube Videos): Regular players who participate in daily tasks and support the game’s content creation will be considered.
- Friends (Referral List): A referral system exists, but its specific weight in the allocation is yet to be revealed. This has sparked some concerns within the community about the potential advantage given to influencers with large audiences.
- Achievements: Players dedicated to completing in-game challenges will be recognized.
- Telegram Subscription: Staying connected through the official Telegram channel could be beneficial.
- Keys (Collected by Playing Minigames and Solving Daily Puzzles): Active engagement with the game’s various features will be rewarded.
The update emphasizes that this is not an exhaustive list, with more criteria to be announced soon. While the specific value of each point remains “TBA” (To Be Announced), the update suggests a meritocratic approach to airdrop distribution, rewarding players who actively engage with the game’s ecosystem.
Community Buzz and Concerns
The announcement has ignited excitement among players who have been patiently waiting for the airdrop since the game’s initial roadmap hinted at its existence. However, the referral system has raised concerns. Some players, voicing their opinions on X (formerly Twitter), worry that influencers with large referral networks could receive a disproportionate share of the airdrop rewards. The Hamster Kombat team has not yet addressed these concerns publicly.
Looking Toward the Future
The recent listing of $HMSTR on Binance fueled speculation that the token generation event (TGE) might be on the horizon. However, no official confirmation has been received. While the in-game update offers a glimpse into the airdrop system, the community awaits official word on the TGE and airdrop dates. Nonetheless, players can continue to optimize their passive income and diligently complete daily tasks to be well-positioned for the airdrop. This update signifies a positive step towards rewarding the community who has propelled Hamster Kombat to its current success.
