Hamster Kombat was slated to debut on the Bybit exchange on September 26, 2024, with official posts from Bybit on X (formerly Twitter) confirming the listing. The same day, trading on the spot market was set to begin, giving players immediate access to ongoing activity and price discovery.
Distribution of the token to participants was also planned for September 26. On that date, OKX was announced as another exchange slated to list the token, aligning multiple platforms with the project launch window.
Details about the airdrop terms had not been made public at that time. The development team noted that rewards could be influenced by several factors, including hourly profit, in-game achievements, completed tasks, the number of keys collected, and the extent of referrals driven by players inviting friends.
Hamster Kombat is a viral Telegram-based clicker game launched in March 2024. Players accumulate points by clicking the hamster, solving coded puzzles, and collecting opened card sets. The team marketed plans for exchange listings on September 26, but industry observers have voiced caution. Notably, a former Binance CIS executive warned that distributing tokens to a large player base could pose challenges, while a blockchain expert suggested investors should temper expectations about substantial token earnings from this project.
The crypto gaming scene on Telegram features several similar titles, including Blum, Catizen, Lost Dogs: The Way, TapSwap, X Empire, and others, which have cultivated active communities and alternative reward mechanisms.
Earlier reports indicated disagreements among Hamster Kombat’s founders, which raised questions about the project’s path to exchange listing and long-term viability. The situation highlighted how leadership dynamics can impact rollout plans and community confidence in fast-moving crypto campaigns.
