When Will Hamster Kombat Launch Its Token?

Durov also mentioned the highly anticipated token airdrop of Hamster Kombat, although a specific date has not yet been confirmed. The project’s official roadmap on its website indicates that on-chain infrastructure and in-game wallet implementation were completed in June.

“Soon, the Hamster team will mint its token on TON, introducing the benefits of blockchain to hundreds of millions of people. A new era is arriving, and we are witnessing its arrival in real-time,” Durov wrote.

Although the development team has not disclosed further details about the official token launch date, players have been able to link TON wallets in the game since June 2024.

The game’s developers have also made numerous posts on Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, emphasizing that profit per hour is the most crucial metric players should consider ahead of the token airdrop.

Hamster Kombat’s Guinness World Records

Hamster Kombat has achieved several world record milestones thanks to its unique gameplay mechanics and social interactions.

The game offers various ways for players to earn coins to upgrade their exchange and increase their profit per hour. One method is through links to YouTube content, where players earn 100,000 coins for watching new videos on the game’s channel.

Hamster Kombat’s YouTube channel is now outpacing MrBeast’s in terms of subscriber growth, making it the most subscribed-to channel globally.

The development team has also applied for a Guinness World Record as the first YouTube channel to gain over 10 million subscribers in one week (6 days, 13 hours, and 15 minutes), among other subscriber-related milestones.

Can Hamster Kombat Be a Source of Income?

The game’s success also raises intriguing questions about the potential for Web3 games to serve as an alternative universal basic income (UBI) mechanism.

Players trade their time for in-game entertainment, but Hamster Kombat’s YouTube channel features daily news and educational content about cryptocurrency, which could serve as an introduction to core Web3 concepts for newcomers to the ecosystem.

The project’s approach to social media growth hacking has resulted in staggering metrics. Hamster Kombat’s YouTube channel has gained 32 million subscribers since its launch on May 24. The game’s X profile has 11.3 million followers, and its official Telegram channel boasts 49.4 million subscribers.
