Hamster Kombat is a cryptocurrency exchange CEO simulator game built on the Telegram applet platform.

HMSTR is the native utility token of Hamster Kombat and is used for the following features:

• In-game currency: Purchase in-game items (such as character skins), upgrades, and services (such as premium support assistance, community tools, and SDKs for game developers).

• Exclusive access: Get access to limited-time events, squad events, PvP battles, and live events.

As of September 12, 2024, the total supply of HMSTR is 100,000,000,000, and the circulating supply at listing will be 64,375,000,000 (~64.38% of the total token supply).

In Hamster Kombat, players control a hamster to manage a cryptocurrency exchange from a startup to a first-class company, and bring a sense of realism to the crypto community through the game plot.

The core gameplay of Hamster Kombat revolves around the player (as a hamster) acting as the CEO of the exchange. Similar to its predecessor Notcoin, players can make game decisions by simply clicking, and these decisions can earn tokens. These tokens can be used to obtain operating licenses, establish partnerships, and product upgrades, helping to increase the value of the exchange.

Ultimately, the bigger the exchange grows and the better you perform as a CEO, the greater your chances of earning HMSTR tokens. Additionally, the Hamster Kombat bot includes elements of staking and farming, allowing players to earn passivation by staking tokens within the game ecosystem.

The game seemed to come out of nowhere. In March, it went live on TON (aka The Open Network), a Web3 ecosystem built on Telegram. The founder of Hamster Kombat is anonymous and claims to have over 200 million users; 11 million followers on Twitter/X and 31 million subscribers to the YouTube account.
