Hamster Kombat, a popular play-to-earn game on Telegram, is evolving its platform with a new option for token holders. Following a major airdrop on September 26 to over 131 million eligible users, the distribution of the game's tokens caused significant discontent. Many players expressed frustration over the allocation, with some choosing to withdraw from the game entirely.
In response to the backlash, the Hamster Kombat team has introduced a new feature allowing players to keep their tokens in the game instead of withdrawing them. This option is now available in the airdrop section of the platform. For those who choose not to sell their HMSTR tokens—currently priced at $0.0040—the team has hinted at exciting rewards in the upcoming Season 2, promising additional benefits for loyal token holders.
“We’ve added the option to keep your tokens in the game (check the Airdrop section),” the team shared in a statement. “If you hold onto them, you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Season 2 will bring significant rewards for token holders, along with new features and improvements.”
The Hamster Kombat team remains optimistic that this new token-holding feature, coupled with the upcoming Season 2 content, will help regain the trust of their player base.
Market Implications: A Turning Point for HMSTR?
The HMSTR token has faced a decline of over 10% in the past week, but the introduction of this token-holding feature could help alleviate selling pressure and potentially stabilize the token’s value. By incentivizing players to hold onto their tokens for future rewards, Hamster Kombat aims to re-engage its player base and generate renewed interest in the ecosystem.
If Season 2 meets player expectations and sparks buzz on social media, it could attract both new players and investors, increasing engagement and trading volume. This new momentum could be the key to reversing the recent price drop and breathing fresh life into Hamster Kombat and its HMSTR token.
