It is now gearing up to launch what is claimed to be the “largest airdrop in the history of crypto.”


The viral game reached this feat in less than five months since its March 2024 launch, according to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph.


Hamster Kombat has already set the record for the fastest product to reach 100 million users, hitting the milestone in just two months, and it could be on track to a Guinness World Record.


Now, in a much-anticipated announcement, the team behind the tap-to-earn game has revealed details about the upcoming Hamster Kombat token’s airdrop.

The incoming airdrop of Hamster Kombat’s HMSTR token will be the largest airdrop in the Web3 industry, according to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph:“HMSTR airdrop will be the largest airdrop in the history of crypto. 60% of the airdrop’s volume will be dedicated to the players. The rest is reserved for providing market liquidity, ecosystem partnerships and grants, rewarding squads, and other items.”


There is no additional information about the HMSTR token’s upcoming tokenomics.


The team behind Hamster Kombat says it has no venture capital or early investments in the token. This means that the token’s value will be determined purely by organic demand, according to the announcement:“Since we have neither investment firms nor VCs backing us, there is no extra sell pressure, and the community-driven token and its value will be determined by demand, supply, and community interest.”


Staging the biggest airdrop in crypto history could be difficult, considering that it would have to surpass Uniswap’s UNI (UNI) airdrop, which was worth over $6.43 billion — known as the largest crypto airdrop in terms of total value distributed, according to CoinGecko.Top crypto airdrops.

Beyond its viral tap-to-earn game, the organization behind Hamster Kombat is looking to create a wider gaming ecosystem in the future, according to the announcement:“We aim to become a gaming publishing ecosystem that will expose the best game studios of different sizes to our audience—from marketing opportunities to token usage and collaboration options.”


The Hamster Foundation aims to cater to all gaming platforms, including PC and console, in an effort to onboard the next billion players to crypto.


The foundation is also working on creating multiple new revenue streams to be able to generate income that will allow it to not sell the upcoming token.


To further its gaming ecosystem, the Hamster Foundation may also launch ecosystem grant programs for third-party developers in the future. These programs will be denominated in fiat currency instead of HMSTR to ensure the token doesn’t face additional selling pressure.
