Hamster Kombat, a popular play-to-earn game on the Telegram messaging platform, has taken the crypto world by storm.
The game, which launched in March, claims to have amassed over 250 million players in just three months. Now, it’s making headlines with its recent listing on CoinMarketCap and its unique approach to incorporating real-world events into gameplay.
The game’s native token, HMSTR, has been listed on CoinMarketCap, a major cryptocurrency price-tracking website. This listing marks a significant milestone for Hamster Kombat as it prepares for its Token Generation Event (TGE) in July.
The TGE will include an airdrop to reward users, with the distribution based on a player’s hourly coin earnings rather than total coins collected.
Hamster Kombat operates on The Open Network (TON) blockchain, and players are encouraged to create TonCoin wallets to participate fully in the game’s ecosystem.
While the full list of exchanges set to list HMSTR is not yet known, CoinDCX, a leading Indian cryptocurrency exchange, has been confirmed as a listing partner. Other partnerships, such as with BingX, suggest that the token may soon be available on multiple platforms.
The game itself allows players to earn HMSTR by managing a virtual crypto exchange. Players take on the role of hamster CEOs, upgrading their characters, completing daily challenges, and engaging in special missions to win prizes.

The game also includes educational content about blockchain and cryptocurrencies, blending entertainment with information.
One of Hamster Kombat’s unique features is its incorporation of real-world events into the game through special cards. Recently, the game introduced a “Fight fight fight” card that references the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
The card reimagines the widely shared photo of a bloodied Trump raising his fist, but with cartoon hamsters in place of the people. This approach to current events has sparked interest and controversy among players and observers alike.
Looking ahead, Hamster Kombat has outlined an ambitious roadmap for the coming months. The third quarter of 2024 is set to bring features like Squad Kombat, new characters and skins, and time-limited events.
The developers have hinted at more updates planned for the fourth quarter, though details remain under wraps to maintain player excitement.
The game’s success comes at a time when cryptocurrency is gaining more mainstream acceptance. Notably, Donald Trump, who was previously skeptical of crypto, has recently shown support for the technology.
His campaign now accepts cryptocurrency donations, and the Republican party has included crypto-friendly policies in its draft platform.
