OKX To List The HMSTR Token For The Telegram Game “Hamster Kombat”

On September 26, OKX announced that it will list HMSTR. Spot trading will start as soon as the liquidity requirements are satisfied.

Crypto exchange OKX announced Friday that it will be among the first platforms to list Telegram mini-app game Hamster Kombat’s $HMSTR token on its spot market.

The token will be listed by OKX on September 26, which also happens to be the day of the anticipated airdrop for Hamster Kombat.

With USDT-margined Pre-Market Futures, the exchange said it provides an early opportunity for those interested in HMSTR. Even before tokens like HMSTR are formally introduced or listed through Token Generation Events or Initial Coin Offerings, qualified users can trade futures contracts with up to 2x leverage.

Telegram’s Hamster Kombat Surpasses 300M Players

The well-known tap-to-earn game Hamster Kombat was created as a Telegram mini-app and can be played directly within Telegram without the need for a download. It has a large following, with 12.6m followers on X and 35.4m subscribers on YouTube.

Since its launch in March 2024, the game has drawn over 300 million players, according to Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. This demonstrates its popularity among the Telegram community and makes it one of the digital platforms with the fastest growth.

On September 26, Hamster Kombat intends to launch its HMSTR token on The Open Network (TON) and host an airdrop event for its players. This approach to token distribution is designed to compensate players in cryptocurrency, mirroring the model Notion used, but with the potential for greater impact given Hamster Kombat’s extensive player community.

Hamster Kombat Draws Global Attention, But Internal Frictions May Hinder Token Airdrop

The game’s appeal reaches beyond the gaming community, even drawing interest from the Iranian government. This underscores its cultural influence and raises discussions about its economic model.

Internal disputes within the project, according to recent reports, could potentially postpone the HMSTR token airdrop and have an impact on the project’s future course.
