HamsterKombat: AirDrop incoming! // TONxplorer

Greetings, travelers!

I've been a Telegram user for more than 8 years, thanks largely to my dear cousin Danilo, but also because it is a fantastic and innovative communication tool. I find it intriguing how the green-colored alternative remains so prevalent, even though it is, in my humble opinion, substantially worse.The launch of The Open Network (TON), an independent blockchain with extensive functionalities already integrated within Telegram, has significantly democratized the transition from Web2 to Web3.

Recently, the tap-to-earn narrative has gained traction, but it's been about three months since I first played Catizen and Notcoin via the Telegram app. As always, please DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH and carefully consider the decisions you make with your time and money.

Hamster Kombat has officially announced their AirDrop TGE date: 26th of September of 2024!

I'd assume you've probably already heard something about Hamster Kombat, but if you haven't, here's a quick explanation of it:

The Mini-App game launched a few months back, and it really surged to the spotlight after the Notcoin TGE (Token Generation Event), probably due to players looking for a new project to also invest their time and effort (and taps!). However, HK also implemented a few key mechanics that differentiate it from the Notcoin and the other projects at the time, that we're really successful.

Firstly, the premise of the game is that you are the Hamster CEO of a Crypto Exchange. So, along with tapping on your Hamster to earn coins and being able to upgrade your active tapping earnings, energy and recharge speed, you are able to buy and upgrade "mining" cards, which are new aspects you can implement on your business to grow your passive mining, that maxes out at 3 hours without claiming. They are classified in four types: additions to your Team (like Marketing, IT and Legal Teams, etc.), new Markets (like BTC and ETH pairs, SocialFi, Derivatives, etc), Web3 functions (Oracles, NFT marketplace, etc) and Special Cards (relevant global events like the Olympic Games and the Eurocup, Marketing Campaigns with real-life business and key aspects for a successful hamster entrepreneur). I strongly advise you to focus in actively mining through taps at the start and upgrading this mechanics, but transitioning to investing most of what you earn into the Cards to improve your passive mining.

They also we're one of the first projects to create content via YouTube and redirect their user base to the videos. They also included two innovative features: the Daily Combo, a daily changing set of three selected cards that, if upgraded by the user, gives him $5million in-game coins; alongside the Daily Cipher, a morse code that, when correctly inputed, gives back $1million in-game coins.

With a little investment of time and effort, you can still get something from the airdrop! And talking aboit investment, I have to admit I admire this part from them: there was no single in-game initiative that I remember that the user even had the option to invest fiduciary money.

As you can observe in the image above, the AirDrop Allocation Points (or, being more explanative, the distribution criteria for the Airdrop) is still TBA (To Be Announced). But, for now, I can talk a little about the explicit areas they've confirmed that will affect the allocation:

Passive income: directly resulting from the number and level of your Mining Cards;
Earn Tasks: watching their YT videos as I mentioned are Tasks, along with following their official communication channels;
Friends: inviting other people is another key factor, and you can help me in it, if you don't have an account yet https://t.me/Hamster_kombat_bot/start?startapp=kentId294212168 ;
Achievements: from number of skins owned to number of Cards upgraded, these accomplishments cover a lot of the experience;
Telegram Subscription: basically, the number of days following their official Announcements Channel;
Keys: distributed when finishing their daily minigame, similar to that classic puzzle one where you had to move cars to unlock your own, along with partnered games that help to further enhance the $HMSTR ecosystem.
