Hamster Cash, a hard fork of Hamster Kombat, was allegedly launched by a co-founder of Hamster Kombat in response to complaints about unfair airdrop allocations.

The alleged co-founder, who remains unidentified, reportedly initiated Hamster Cash to offer a more equitable reward system than Hamster Kombat. However, the new game allows existing users to transfer in-game progress, suggesting a core link between both projects.

At this time, verification of the anonymous founder’s involvement with the viral hamster-themed Telegram mini-game remains unconfirmed. Hamster Kombat was developed by a pseudonymous team, making it challenging to confirm individual identities.

Community Backlash Over Airdrop Allocations

Hamster Cash was quietly announced amid community backlash over Hamster Kombat’s upcoming airdrop. Several users claimed that the airdrop’s token allocation did not meet expectations after months of activity, listing delays, and participation.

β€œOne chief critique of the Hamster Kombat team was the misleading emphasis on features called β€˜keys’ and β€˜profit per hour.’”

According to users and the eventual allocation breakdown, invites and referrals emerged as the biggest determining factors. Many potential recipients argued that this approach disadvantaged everyday users and unfairly favored influencers. Some even claimed that cheaters benefitted from the decision. Unhappy users threatened to boycott the project, leading to the hashtag #boycotthamsterkombat trending on social media platforms like X.

Upcoming HMSTR Token Listing

Team announcements stated that the anticipated and scrutinized HMSTR token would list on Sept. 26, barring unforeseen circumstances that had previously delayed the coin’s debut.

As users expressed dissatisfaction with the project, speculations about HMSTR’s listing price were rampant. Bearish sentiment dominated public predictions, largely due to the contentious token allocation.

The team earmarked 60% of HMSTR’s 100 billion supply for community rewards and the airdrop. Hopeful users recalled the project’s promise of delivering β€œthe biggest airdrop in crypto history,” while skeptics turned their attention to other mini-games in The Open Network’s Toncoin ecosystem on Telegram.
