Promote with Leviathan NewsHamster Kombat is a Telegram-based tap‑to‑earn game built on The Open Network (TON) that has rapidly become one of the largest crypto gaming applications, surpassing 100 million users within a few months of its March 2024 launch. Players interact with the game through a Telegram bot, taking the role of a hamster CEO managing a virtual crypto exchange, tapping to generate in‑game currency and upgrading licenses, marketing, and products to increase earnings. The game’s viral growth has turned its Telegram channel into one of the largest on the platform and made it the most prominent game in the TON ecosystem, outpacing earlier hits like Notcoin in user numbers according to multiple industry overviews. Hamster Kombat’s popularity is closely tied to expectations around a token launch and airdrop on the TON blockchain, framed as a way for players to convert in‑game progress into crypto rewards. The team and external guides have highlighted an upcoming airdrop and token generation event for the HMSTR token, with tutorials and community content explaining how to connect TON wallets and prepare for distribution. For Telegram and TON, the game functions as a major on‑ramp, driving wallet adoption, blockchain activity, and advertising revenue, and is cited by observers as an important case study in how messenger‑based mini‑apps and tap‑to‑earn mechanics can rapidly onboard mainstream users into Web3.
