The team behind the viral Telegram clicker game Hamster Kombat has revealed that only 43% of its users are eligible for the season 1 airdrop, with 60 billion Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) tokens set to be distributed to qualified users.
In an announcement on X, the team stated that 75 billion of the 100 billion HMSTR tokens are reserved for community distribution. Of this supply, 60% will be airdropped after the first season, with another 15% scheduled for season 2.
Of the initial 60 billion tokens, 88.75% will be available for immediate claiming, while the remaining 11.25% will be vested over 10 months post-listing. This translates to around 53.25 billion tokens for immediate release and 6.75 billion to be distributed later.
131 Million Users Eligible for Airdrop
Despite Hamster Kombat attracting over 300 million users in its first 81 days, only 131 million have qualified for the airdrop scheduled for September 26. This comes after the team banned 2.3 million accounts for cheating. Telegram founder Pavel Durov noted that the game’s rapid growth could accelerate Web3 adoption by introducing millions of users to crypto
On July 30, the Hamster Foundation announced its upcoming airdrop, calling it the “largest airdrop in crypto history.” According to the team, most of the tokens will be distributed to players, with the rest allocated for liquidity, ecosystem partnerships, grants, squad rewards, and other uses.
On August 12, the team revealed that it had rejected offers from venture capital firms, meaning there will be no early investments in the token. Instead, its value will be entirely determined by the market. The team emphasized that “there is no extra sell pressure,” and the price of HMSTR tokens will be driven by demand, supply, and community interest.
