The long-awaited token listing from the Hamster Kombat game appears to have been postponed. What rumors are circulating in the community, and when can we expect HMSTR to appear on the exchanges?
What is Known About the HMSTR Listing
Users of the popular clicker game Hamster Kombat have been anticipating the listing of the game’s cryptocurrency on various crypto exchanges for several months. The HMSTR listing has faced delays since May, and the crypto community was hopeful for a July listing. However, with the month nearly over and no official word from the Hamster Kombat team, rumors and speculations are rife.
It was widely expected that the HMSTR currency listing and its subsequent distribution would occur in July. Nevertheless, the developers have not provided specific dates. On July 17, a Russian-language Telegram channel suggested an imminent listing on the CoinDCX exchange and hinted at a potential airdrop within 24 hours. The post was later deleted, but it caught the attention of local media.
The official project roadmap lacks detailed information about the coin’s listing. According to current data, the token generation event (TGE) and the launch of the token’s in-game utility are anticipated in July. One possible reason for the delay could be the current downturn in the market, which has led many crypto projects to postpone their listings.
What Does the Crypto Community Say?
The prolonged silence from the Hamster Kombat team has led to growing negative sentiment within the community. Users note that the 250 million-strong Hamster Kombat community is eagerly awaiting news, but hope is waning.
“The users are losing their hope on the game. And we know that you won’t disappoint the users.”
Another member expressed frustration, suggesting that the project team is more focused on enjoying YouTube revenues than the listing.
“Hamster is worse than the rest of them. They are enjoying YouTube money, so listing is not in their plans. Tapswap had the chance to take the initiative after Notcoin but failed, hamster is wasting this chance too.”
One more user predicted a significant disappointment if the listing did not occur in July:
“If the July listing doesn’t appear, the community will definitely be disappointed and disband, the entire Hamster Kombat channel could be destroyed.”
Despite these concerns, the largest Hamster Kombat fan community on social media has posted about an imminent listing on eight major exchanges, though no further details were provided.
Listing Uncertainty Grabs Scammers’ Attention
With the uncertainty surrounding the token’s launch, scammers have begun to exploit the situation. Reports indicate that scammers are stealing Telegram user accounts by posing as a service for withdrawing money from Hamster Kombat. They send links to a resource for authorization, where users are tricked into entering their credentials, giving scammers access to personal accounts.
Olga Svistunova, a senior content analyst, explained:
“For example, in the case of Hamster Kombat, the scammers assured that the payment should occur within 15 minutes after successful authorization in Telegram.”
Phishers aim to obtain phone numbers and verification codes, which they can use to access accounts for various malicious purposes, including stealing confidential data and sending fraudulent messages.
Who to Ask About Listing?
The Hamster Kombat team has maintained anonymity, but recent reports have identified Russian businessman Eduard Gurinovich as being behind the game. Gurinovich stated that his team became Russia’s exclusive partner for Hamster Kombat, purchasing the rights to the trademark and working with the local community to combat scams.
“The project team gave us the right to officially register the trademark ‘HAMSTER KOMBAT’ due to the growing wave of scammers worldwide. Russian players have often been targeted by phishing attacks and deception by scammers, and even now, we continue to fight this.”
What is the Secret of Hamster Kombat’s Popularity?
The concept of gaming clickers that allow users to earn real money has captured global interest. Successful promotion and the viral effect have driven massive interest in these games. Mark Long, CEO of Shrapnel, highlighted the shift in the gaming industry towards blockchain technology and earning money while playing:
“Most developers outside the crypto converted are still skeptical of blockchain’s ability to attract players of any significant numbers. But considering Hamster Kombat has amassed over 200 million players in the span of a few months, it is clear that narrative needs to change.”
With the listing of Hamster Kombat, an even greater wave of popularity for the Tap-to-Earn mechanic is expected. For now, the uncertainty of the listing continues to fuel rumors in the crypto community, which eagerly awaits the trading of the coveted token.
