You are currently viewing Hamster Kombat Announces 2025 Roadmap with Binance Scooping 18% of HMSTR

  • Hamster Kombat has launched on exchanges and announced its 2025 roadmap, including integrating external payments and launching new games on the Hamster ecosystem.
  • Binance is now the biggest ecosystem member, grabbing 18% of the Hamster tokens, with OKX at a distant second with 4% as others like Gate.io and MEXC got meagre allocations.

Every few months, one blockchain game blows up and becomes viral, scooping up millions of users in a few weeks. The biggest hit right now is Hamster Kombat, a clicker game that has accumulated over 300 million users, and whose 2025 roadmap is giving its fans great confidence in its long-term viability.

Hamster Kombat combines strategy and management while allowing players to earn tokens, appealing to the ever-expanding play-to-earn multiverse. Its meteoric rise has allowed the founders to shun VC investment to protect its over 300 million users, pledging to channel the majority of the tokens to the players in the airdrop, as we reported.

The Hamster team unveiled its 2025 roadmap this week. It first details its plans for the rest of this year, which include launching new and exciting games within the Hamster ecosystem and integrating external payment systems. It also intends to launch in-game assets, which will include NFTs.

But of course, the plans most users were interested in centred around the token airdrop. The team revealed that it would allocate tokens to 131 million users who had qualified, out of the 300 million, which equates to 43%. While it didn’t reveal why the majority of its users had not qualified, it noted that it had disqualified over 2.3 million users for cheating and tricking the system.

Like any other Web3 game, Hamster recognises that keeping the community engaged after the airdrop is a Herculean task. Most users of these new games tend to abandon their accounts after getting the tokens and move on to the next hot trend. However, Hamster says it’s prepared for this, and one of its strategies is to keep airdropping after the initial event, and that those tokens would be worth more, telling one outlet:

11.25% of tokens distributed after Season 1 will be vested and unlocked 10 months after the listing. Given the project’s rapid development, the value of these tokens can be comparable to the initial unlock.

To further boost the value of the tokens, the team intends to use the proceeds it makes to buy back the tokens, boosting the value of the circulating supply.

We’re also planning to use ad revenue to buy back tokens from the market for regular distribution to players and token burns.

Binance has positioned itself as one of the big players in the ecosystem. As one person in-the-know revealed, the exchange is the biggest winner, with predeposits exceeding 6.2 billion tokens, pushing the overall balance to 18 billion, which accounts for 18% of the total supply.
