The team responsible for the popular clicker game Hamster Kombat on Telegram has unveiled the specifics of its first season airdrop. They have announced that 60 billion tokens will be airdropped to eligible users.
In a statement released on X, the Hamster Kombat team revealed that out of the total 100 billion Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) tokens for the project, 75 billion are allocated to community members. After the completion of season one, 60% of the total token supply will be airdropped, while the remaining 15% will be distributed during season two.
Of the initial 60 billion tokens to be distributed, qualified users will receive 88.75% of their allocation immediately. The remaining 11.25% will be vested and become available 10 months after the token is listed on exchanges. This means that around 53.25 billion tokens will be airdropped instantly, while 6.75 billion tokens will be released after the 10-month period.
Over 131 million users have qualified for the airdrop. Hamster Kombat has quickly become one of the most popular games in the Web3 space, amassing 239 million users within its first 81 days. Telegram founder Pavel Durov believes that the game’s success can contribute to the adoption of Web3 by introducing millions of users to crypto.
Although the game boasts over 300 million users, only 131 million are eligible to receive the airdrop on September 26. This means that only 43% of the total user count will receive the tokens. The team also revealed that they have banned 2.3 million users for cheating.
The Hamster Foundation described the upcoming airdrop as the “largest airdrop in the history of crypto” on July 30. The majority of the tokens will be distributed to players, while the rest will be allocated for liquidity, ecosystem partnerships, grants, rewarding squads, and other purposes.
On August 12, the team announced that they had rejected offers from venture capital firms, indicating that there would be no early investments in the token. The market will solely determine its value. The team emphasized that there will be no additional sell pressure and that the value of HMSTR tokens will be determined by demand, supply, and community interest.
