This Week Crypto Game Hamster Kombat Airdrop
Hamster Kombat explodes: Telegram-based game Hamster Kombat has quickly become the buzziest game in the crypto world, and now the studio says it has amassed more than 100 million total players. That’s an immense number—roughly 1/9 of the entire Telegram user base, and three times the players that Notcoin amassed before closing its “mining phase.”
There’s been immense social interest around the crypto exchange management clicker game, with its official Telegram channel becoming the biggest overall on the messaging platform, plus lots of demand for the daily combo and daily cipher code that earn players millions of free coins.
Last week, the Hamster Kombat team revealed that the token launch on The Open Network (TON) is currently targeted for July, giving players a target for the airdrop.
