An on-chain data analyst, EmberCN, highlighted that the game has amassed record-breaking numbers, with the total recorded accounts settling at 300 million. EmberCN also reported that the daily active user count is 32 million, while the monthly active users are 82 million. Hamster Kombat also allegedly holds 55 million bound wallets.
The mini-games native token is HMSTR and has a total supply of 100 billion tokens. The token’s circulating supply at the time of listing is 64.375 billion tokens, equivalent to 64.375%. 3% of the token’s supply has been allocated to Binance mining, 4% set aside for liquidity, 4% for market, and 53.25% allocated for airdrops.
The HMSTR token is trading over the counter at approximately $0.01 at the time of this publication. The retail price brings the project’s market cap to $643 million. Hamster Kombat has found itself amid controversies over token distribution despite its significant growth.
Hamster Kombat has showcased its interest in maintaining a fair ecosystem amid rising controversies. According to a public announcement from the mini-game’s team, Hamster Kombat banned 2.3 million accounts after analyzing users’ behavior for months.
The ban was initiated to combat players earning tokens from improper means, such as using multiple accounts and inviting fake referrals to earn invite bonuses. Hamster Kombat gave an example of one user who connected over 400 accounts on the same Binance address and another who invited 2000 friends.
The team drew 6.8 billion tokens from these accounts and distributed half to honest players. The team announced that the remaining half will be burned and erased from circulation.
Controversies arise amid Hamster Kombat’s expected launch on Binance
Community members complain that the rewards awarded are mainly attributed to referrals rather than the actual gameplay. Members actively playing the game have expressed concerns about receiving fewer rewards than those actively inviting other users for referral bonuses.
One particular user went into detail explaining the project’s mistakes. The user highlighted that Hamster Kombat had initially promised PHP would be the biggest criterion but shifted their approach to users collecting keys by playing a Web2 game. Community members played the game, but in the end, the team distributed everything to referrals and invitees.
Another user complained that they played Hamster Komat for more than three months and played Web2 games sponsored by Hamster Kombat for days to collect keys. However, the user claimed Hamster Kombat moderators flagged him as a cheater.
