The Hamster Kombat team has announced exciting details of its long-awaited Season 1 airdrop, confirming that 60 billion Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) tokens will be distributed to eligible users on September 26. Despite boasting over 300 million registered users, only 131 million—just 43%—are eligible to receive their share of the airdrop.
Key Details of the Airdrop:
- Total Token Supply: Hamster Kombat allocated 75 billion HMSTR tokens for its community, with 60% of those tokens distributed after Season 1.
- Token Unlock Structure: Eligible users can claim 88.75% of their tokens immediately, with 11.25% locked for 10 months post-listing. This means approximately 53.25 billion tokens will be distributed immediately, while 6.75 billion will be unlocked by July 2025.
- Season 2 Plans: An additional 15% of tokens are reserved for the upcoming Season 2.
Anti-Cheat Measures and Disqualification:
- Bans: The Hamster Kombat team banned 2.3 million users after identifying cheating attempts, disqualifying them from the airdrop. This was based on a platform snapshot taken on September 20.
- Community Backlash: Players criticized the team for introducing an anti-cheat system late, which evaluated eligibility based on key collection rather than the previously assumed Points Per Hour (PPH). Many believe some non-cheating players were wrongly banned.
Speculation is rising over the launch price of the HMSTR token, which could be set at just $0.01. This has raised concerns among holders who expect higher returns.
Future Plans and Engagement:
- New Reward Program: Players who opt to receive their airdrop via the Telegram wallet can earn up to 300% APY on assets.
- Interlude Season: To maintain player engagement, Hamster Kombat has launched a simplified “interlude season” ahead of the full Season 2 launch.
As the airdrop nears, the community awaits to see how Hamster Kombat’s decisions will impact the game’s trajectory and token value.
