The highly-anticipated airdrop for the HMSTR token from the popular Telegram-based game Hamster Kombat is likely to be delayed as developers are still “actively working” on it.
In a recent update, the game’s developers mentioned that launching the token airdrop is “a very complex technical task for all the platforms involved.” They noted that the upcoming HMSTR airdrop could be the “biggest” in the history of crypto, potentially causing “network overload” for the TON blockchain, on which the token will be based.
The team is collaborating with the TON blockchain team to plan the much-awaited distribution of the tokens. The token generation event is still slated for launch in July, according to the project’s official sources. However, with the month nearing its end, no new updates regarding a solid launch date have been provided.
The airdrop was initially announced in late May but has faced delays. With limited communication from developers, speculation within the community has been rampant. On July 17, rumors circulated that HMSTR was being listed on the Indian crypto exchange CoinDCX and that a potential airdrop would commence within 24 hours, but the post was later deleted.
In the latest announcement, it was disclosed that players will need to link a Toncoin wallet to their profiles to be eligible for the HMSTR airdrop. The number of tokens received will depend on the “various activities” the player participates in.

Additionally, the game’s newly launched “Playground” section will be revamped. This feature allows players to collect keys by playing mini-games. By offering different ways to earn rewards, the game’s developers aim to provide an even playing field for all players, regardless of their gaming style.
HMSTR Price Discovery “Pre-Market”
Despite the ambiguity around its launch date, the project remains highly anticipated, with several cryptocurrency exchanges launching “pre-market” trading for the yet-to-be-launched token. Pre-market trading involves trading crypto assets before they are officially listed and available for public trading on an exchange.
Most recently, OKX announced its plans to introduce HMSTR as one of the first additions to its newly launched pre-market futures platform. Bitget has also started pre-market trading of Hamster Future Coins (HMSTRBG) before the official launch, with a total supply of 10 billion tokens. Additionally, KuCoin and Bybit have added HMSTR to their pre-market trading platforms.
