Hamster Kombat, a popular Telegram-based clicker game, has officially announced its airdrop date following multiple delays since July. The airdrop and token generation event is scheduled for September 26, as confirmed to its over 52 million Telegram subscribers. This web3 game, which boasts over 50 million users in more than 190 countries, has allocated 60% of HMSTR’s supply to gamers.

The confirmation of the airdrop date came after the team initially planned to reward users in July but had to postpone due to on-chain complexities with disbursing tokens to real users. Although the project’s gamified approach has spurred massive participation, there is still uncertainty about how many participants are eligible for the airdrop, as some users may be bots.

With the airdrop date set, questions arise about how The Open Network (TON) might handle millions of users claiming tokens. TON previously halted block production for several hours following the launch of Dogs, another Telegram mini-game. This incident disrupted Telegram Wallet and several crypto exchange operations. Although TON developers resolved the issue, it raises concerns about potential network bottlenecks during the Hamster Kombat airdrop.

Telegram mini-apps like Dogs and Hamster Kombat have seen success, following the example of predecessors like Notcoin. Notcoin airdropped $1 billion worth of NOT coins in May, setting the stage for more Telegram-based gaming projects. The HMSTR team aims to surpass Notcoin’s distribution by delivering what they claim to be “the largest crypto airdrop in history.”
