Hamster Kombat token launch set for September
Initially slated for a July release, the HMSTR token faced setbacks as the team grappled with the logistics of such a massive airdrop. With over 80 million active players in the past month alone, according to Telegram data, the game has dethroned its predecessor, Notcoin, which attracted 35 million players.

The announcement comes on the heels of a major network disruption on TON, which saw the blockchain go dark for several hours on Tuesday.
While TON representatives confirmed the issues were related to another token launch (DOGS), they assured that the network is now operating normally.
Hamster Kombat’s success builds on the formula pioneered by Notcoin, leveraging Telegram’s “mini app” feature to create an addictive screen-tapping experience. However, the anonymous team behind HMSTR has taken the concept further.
The success or failure of this launch could have far-reaching implications for the future of tap-to-earn games and the intersection of messaging apps and cryptocurrency.
