Key Takeaways:
- HMSTR rejected all venture capital offers to keep the game player-focused.
- The game reached 300 million users within 81 days, setting a new Web3 development record.
- Hamster Kombat plans the largest airdrop in crypto history, reserving 60% of HMSTR tokens for players.
YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — The creators of Hamster Kombat, a Web3 game, have turned down multiple offers from top venture capital firms. They announced on August 10 that they have rejected every offer. The team is committed to keeping the game fair and focused on players.
Hamster’s team believes accepting venture capital could compromise their mission. They aim to maintain a system that rewards players based on participation, not investor influence.
Many crypto games rely on venture capital funding, which some critics say can shift focus from player satisfaction to investor goals. Kombat’s developers want to avoid this, ensuring the game remains player-centered.
Hamster Kombat Hits 300 Million Users, Gains Praise and Pre-Market Trading
Hamster’s popularity is growing rapidly. As of July, the game has attracted over 300 million users, reaching this milestone just 81 days after its launch. This achievement sets a new record in Web3 game development.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has praised Hamster Kombat as an example of how blockchain technology can reach a wide audience. The game’s success has led to interest in its potential to drive blockchain adoption in gaming.
Crypto exchange Bybit has listed the game’s HMSTR token for premarket trading on its over-the-counter (OTC) platform. This allows users to acquire the token before it becomes available on traditional exchanges. Bybit noted that OTC trading could influence the token’s final listing price.
Preparing for Massive Airdrop, Scam Warnings
Hamster Kombat’s developers are preparing for what they call “the largest airdrop in crypto history.” They have reserved 60% of the upcoming HMSTR tokens for players. The remaining tokens will be used for liquidity, partnerships, in-game rewards, and ecosystem development.
The rapid success of Hamster Kombat has made it a target for scammers. The game’s community has faced phishing attacks and fake airdrop schemes. In response, the Hamster Kombat team issued a warning on Telegram, advising users to be cautious and not trust individuals or groups offering sales of the token before its official launch.
