The developers of the popular clicker game Hamster Kombat, known for its massive player base on Telegram, have revealed all the details of its first season airdrop. A total of 60 billion HMSTR tokens will be distributed.

Distribution Details and Vesting Period

An X post revealed that 75 billion of the 100 billion tokens available for the project will be for the community. While 60% are available for distribution now and the remaining 40% to be distributed in season two via an airdrop. From the total 60 billion HMSTR tokens, 88.75% will be distributed to eligible users right from the start. This will be approximately 53.25 billion tokens. The rest 11.25%, or about 6.75 billion tokens, will be locked and granted every month. It will be starting from 10 months after the token’s listing on the exchanges such as Binance, OKX, KuCoin, Bybit, and Gate.io. This vesting strategy has angered users who were expecting the full airdrop at the end of season one.

Airdrop Eligibility and Anti-Cheating Measures

Nevertheless, more than 300 million people were engaged in the game in the first half a year. However, only 131 million of them will be able to participate in the airdrop on September 26, 2024. As per the Hamster Kombat team, in total, 2.3 million accounts were banned for cheating. This happened after the employment of an anti-cheating mechanism. Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the anti-cheating measures, alleging that they were unfairly banned despite following the game's rules. In-game achievements like the “cheating is bad” badge have been introduced to combat fraud in the game.

Community Reaction and Future Plans

The Hamster Kombat airdrop has received backlash from its community. Not only because of the partial token vesting but also due to the unfair distribution of the rewards. There have been questions asked why the team decided to give away most of the tokens to influencers and referral programs instead of using them to reward gameplay. Nevertheless, Hamster Kombat has been rapidly expanding, and as of now, the game has more than 300 million users. The team behind the project has hinted at new features and updates for the second season which will come after two weeks of a break. Players who have not chosen their preferred withdrawal method are urged to do so as 30.6 million eligible users have not claimed their airdrop share yet.

Hamster Kombat continues to attract new users and improve its mechanisms. Despite some controversial decisions, interest in the game and participation in the airdrop remain high.
