Comparison with Notcoin

Hamster Kombat is a tap-to-earn, or clicker, game on Telegram where players assume the role of a CEO managing a virtual cryptocurrency exchange. Since its launch in March 2024, the game has broken multiple interaction records, with Hamster Kombat creators claiming it to be the third-fastest app in history to reach 150 million users.

Hamster Kombat is often referred to as the “next Notcoin,” following the success of another Telegram-based clicker game and its associated token, Notcoin (NOT). By the time Notcoin was listed for spot trading in mid-May 2024, it had attracted 11.5 million holders.

Before its spot trading listing, Notcoin was also listed on Bybit Pre-Market Trading. According to the platform, the final pre-market trading price of Notcoin was $0.0059. After debuting at around $0.007 on May 16, Notcoin surged to as high as $0.2 by June 1, according to CoinGecko data. At the time of writing, NOT is trading at $0.017.
