The popular Telegram game Hamster Kombat has announced a significant postponement of its HMSTR token AirDrop event, citing technical complications. Initially expected to take place this month, the distribution has been delayed due to concerns over potential overload on The Open Network (TON) Blockchain. As many as 300 million players and investors are now left waiting for a new date for the token distribution.
Why Did Technical Issues Cause the Delay?
The Hamster Kombat team revealed that the complexity of distributing tokens to a vast user base on the TON Blockchain was underestimated. Despite the delay, the team reassured players that they would still receive their tokens. The amount each participant will get is tied to their involvement in various in-game activities. The only requirement to obtain tokens is to link the TON wallet to their player profile.
Which Exchanges Will List the HMSTR Token?
Anticipation surrounding the HMSTR token remains high, even with the delay. OKX has declared its intention to list the token for pre-market futures trading, followed by other exchanges like ByBit, KuCoin, Gate.io, and BitGet. According to the Hamster Kombat whitepaper, 60% of the total HMSTR token supply will go to players while the rest will be allocated for partnerships and market liquidity.
Key Takeaways for Users
- Ensure your TON wallet is linked to your Hamster Kombat profile to receive tokens.
- Stay engaged in in-game activities to maximize your token allocation.
- Monitor announcements from exchanges like OKX, ByBit, and KuCoin for token listing updates.
- Keep an eye on official updates from the Hamster Kombat team regarding the new AirDrop date.
Meanwhile, another game, TapSwap, is experiencing a similar delay for its token generation event scheduled for the third quarter of 2024. TapSwap’s founder Naz Ventura stated that efforts are underway to ensure a quality product, with an announcement date to be shared once preparations are finalized.
Both Hamster Kombat and TapSwap are following the example set by Notcoin, which successfully distributed 80 billion NOT tokens, rewarding players with approximately 1 billion dollars.
