The crypto and NFT gaming world is more active than ever, with new game releases, frequent token airdrops, and ongoing developments keeping the space buzzing. And while the Hamster Kombat game is taking the world by storm, many are wondering: is there real money to be made here? As we do a deep dive into the project, we uncover whether people can really earn money from playing this hamster-centric, Telegram-based game. Let’s start at the very beginning.
What is Hamster Kombat?
In a nutshell, Hamster Kombat is a quirky Telegram-based game that blends crypto concepts with idle gaming mechanics. Players act as the Golden Hamster CEO managing a virtual cryptocurrency exchange, tapping to earn coins and making strategic decisions to grow their business.
The game features upgrades, daily tasks, and resource management, all with a fun and addictive interface. While it hints at potential future cryptocurrency rewards, the primary focus is on engaging gameplay and building a thriving digital exchange.
Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Hamster Kombat offers a playful, low-stakes introduction to crypto-themed gaming.
So, is there potential to make money?
The aim of the game is to build up your in-game coin balance, however, the project creators have promised that an airdrop is in the pipeline. Similar to a recent tap-to-earn game, NOTcoin, the Hamster Kombat project promises to reward its players through an airdrop event based on their active participation in the game.
While the allocation metrics remain fuzzy and the coin in question, HMSTR, is yet to be created, there is still a large amount of hype surrounding the game and the potential financial incentives. So much so that big exchanges in the crypto market are already pre-listing the coin.
What we know for sure
The creators of the project haven’t left us totally in the dark, there are a few factors we know for certain:
Build your coin balance
As with most tap-to-earn games, players accumulate their in-game coins by completing small tasks. Hamster Kombat is no different, encouraging players to earn more coins through various avenues.
It’s all about the passive income
Hamster Kombat’s main gameplay involves tapping the screen, but to really progress, use the “Mine” button to purchase upgrades for your exchange. Investing in markets, PR, team, legal enhancements, and special cards will generate passive income, allowing you to earn coins even when you're not actively playing.
Work on your profit per hour
On that note, your profit per hour rating is arguably the most significant rating when it comes to airdrop allocation. This is based on a very uncryptic tweet from the creators:

Participation is key
While we know the main factor affecting a player’s HMSTR allocation is their total profit per hour, however, the following factors, taken from the project’s whitepaper also play a role:
● Overall game cycle: did you just download it and forget about it or are you an
active player?
● Community interaction and activity
● Friends, or, rather, the quality of the friends you invited: did you bring in bots?
Or are these real friends you interact and play with daily?
● Achievements
● Wallet integration
● Reputation
What we know about $HMSTR
The coin behind the project, HMSTR, might not be launched yet, but here is what we do know about it.
HMSTR will be created on the TON network, standing for The Open Network, created by the same team that brought us Telegram, the platform on which the game is based.
The popular game, which recently surpassed 300 million players, has postponed its planned token launch due to ongoing work on the large-scale airdrop logistics.
While the token generation event and airdrop are now listed as "upcoming" on the game's roadmap, the developers have assured fans they are actively working to bring these features to fruition.
In the meantime, the token has been approved for premarket trading by the following platforms: OKX, Bitget, Gate.io, and KuCoin.
