O que aconteceu com Hamster Kombat? Uma história de cautela para desenvolvedores
Então, onde tudo começou a piorar? Como um projeto que foi inicialmente elogiado pela comunidade criptográfica começou a virar tendência pelos motivos errados? Aqui está a história de um dos jogos criptográficos "toque para ganhar" mais populares que perdeu todo o seu crédito social. Em 20 de setembro, o jogo blockchain baseado no Telegram anunciou a conclusão do lançamento da primeira temporada. De acordo com dados do IntoTheBlock, o jogo acumulou uma enorme audiência global de mais de 300 milhões de jogadores, e os endereços ativos na rede atingiram 1,59 milhão até 27 de setembro. Para marcar o final da temporada, a plataforma tirou um instantâneo do progresso de todos os jogadores às 18h UTC do mesmo dia, estabelecendo as bases para o tão aguardado lançamento aéreo do token $ HMSTR. A equipe do Hamster Kombat também anunciou que seu token será listado em várias bolsas importantes, incluindo Binance , Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, MEXC e Gate.io entre setembro e outubro de 2024. 👏 SNAP, SNAP, CLAP, CLAP 👏 Hamster Kombat: Os bons e velhos tempos

The news about the airdrop and listings sparked a lot of excitement in the community. Analysts were optimistic $HMSTR would do well considering the project’s huge fanbase. Unfortunately, Hamster’s CEOs were in for a rude awakening.
Flipping good times for sad tales
The excitement surrounding Hamster Kombat quickly soured after its highly publicized token launch and airdrop. The rollout was marred by technical hiccups and accusations of fraud. The TON blockchain, already under strain from other high-profile token launches, faced additional pressure during the game’s airdrop, raising questions about its scalability.
Hamster Kombat’s highly anticipated $HMSTR token airdrop took place on September 26, 2024. Of the total supply of 100 billion tokens, 60% were allocated for this initial airdrop.
Over 300 million players participated in the game since its launch. Yet, the project revealed that only 131 million qualified for the distribution after anti-cheating measures disqualified 2.3 million accounts.
According to several sources, eligible users received 88.75% of their allocated tokens immediately, while the remaining 11.25% was locked and set to vest monthly over ten months after the token’s listing. This approach angered some participants who expected full distribution upfront.

🔥 The results of Season 1 have been finalized:
🚀 Over 300 million people have joined Hamster Kombat since March 26, 2024, 131 million qualified for the airdrop on September 26th and around 2.3 million were banned as cheaters.

Dissatisfied players accused the developers of manipulating token allocations and operating unethically. On X, the crypto community created a hashtag meant to encourage users to boycott Hamster Kombat.
One user stated, “No one will be there who has not worked hard. All of these folks belong to your community. All of them can bring it down.”
Another user pointed out that Hamster Kombat had “bootlicked” YouTubers and influencers for referrals to get users to toil for keys in their games, only to give small rewards and wrongfully ban millions. They asked the community to unfollow influencers who supported the project, claiming YouTubers “misused the community.”
Will Hamster Kombat survive until season 2?
Since the airdrop mishap, the number of Hamster Kombat members on its Telegram channel has dropped at a shocking rate. IntoTheBlock data also shows that daily active address totals have gone down by more than 80%.
The team had announced that Hamster Kombat’s season 2 airdrop and game overhaul would happen in October. However, it has gone completely silent, and the date of the launch remains unknown.
The story of Hamster Kombat best defines a cautionary tale to developers. Its team, whom the community generally doesn’t know much about, seemingly leveraged investor enthusiasm to generate income through player engagement and promotional content on platforms like YouTube.
Hamster Kombat has cheated the community 📌 It's time to give them back.

They have allocated a large portion of airdrops to bootlicking YouTubers and influencers for referrals.
They’ve implemented vesting without informing the community.

Many in the community felt under-compensated and underappreciated for their efforts, with several users claiming they were wrongfully banned and excluded from the airdrop and referral rewards. This mismanagement has resulted in dwindling engagement; frustrated participants are losing trust in the project, and we can’t say their grievances are unjustified.
If there’s anything we’ve all learned in the last two years in crypto, evident in what happened to beleaguered crypto exchange FTX, it’s that you can only fool people for so long.
Without addressing these wrongdoings and breaking the silence over upcoming events, Hamster Kombat could collapse into oblivion before its planned season 2 rollout.
There have been rumblings of developers conniving with hackers to drain projects and share revenues. Perhaps, some Web3 developers are the scourge of the industry. What is undeniable is that Hamster Kombat has become a cautionary tale for any developer introducing a product to digital market investors.
