As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the tech and blockchain industry, I’ve seen my fair share of network congestion incidents during significant events like these. Given the massive user base Hamster Kombat has amassed and TON‘s history of network bottlenecks following similar events, I have a slight apprehension about the upcoming airdrop.
The Telegram-based clicker game Hamster Kombat has finally set a release date for its airdrop, which was repeatedly delayed from its initial schedule in July due to various reasons.
As an analyst, I’m excited to share that Hamster Kombat recently announced on their Telegram platform, which boasts a massive following of over 52 million users, the scheduled date for their long-awaited airdrop and token generation event. This momentous occasion is set for September 26th, marking the culmination of months filled with anticipation for the distribution. This innovative web3 game has garnered more than 50 million players across over 190 countries worldwide, and it’s worth noting that a staggering 60% of HMSTR’s total supply has been earmarked for its gaming community.
After the initial plan for user rewards in July was made by the team, they later adjusted the airdrop date due to intricate issues related to distributing tokens directly onto the blockchain to real users. The new airdrop date has since been confirmed.
The project’s gamified approach spurred massive participation, though there’s a chance some of its users are bots. It remains unknown how many participants are eligible for the airdrop.
Can TON handle Hamster Kombat’s airdrop load?
As the scheduled airdrop for Hamster Kombat approaches, concerns are being raised about how The Open Network (TON) will manage the influx of potentially millions of users trying to claim their tokens.
According to crypto.news, the block production on the TON network temporarily stopped for a couple of hours approximately two days after the launch of Dogs (DOGS), another mini-game by Telegram. This incident also caused disruptions in the operation of the Telegram Wallet and multiple cryptocurrency exchange platforms. The developers managed to resolve the issue, but this event implies that similar network congestion issues might recur.
Telegram mini-apps similar to Dogs and Hamster Kombat have thrived due to their predecessors such as Notcoin (NOT). The comparable clicker game distributed approximately $1 billion worth of NOT tokens in May, paving the way for numerous Telegram-centered gaming initiatives.
The HMSTR squad intends to surpass Notcoin’s distribution by organizing “an unprecedented cryptocurrency airdrop, the biggest ever recorded.”
