Hamster Kombat, a rapidly growing Web3 game, recently made headlines by turning down offers from some of the leading venture capital firms in the crypto space. The developers revealed that they have rejected all venture capital funding to date, prioritizing the protection of their player base and focusing on delivering a fair and merit-based gaming experience.
This move starkly contrasts with many other crypto projects that often accept venture capital investments, only for these firms to use the player base as exit liquidity. Hamster Kombat’s commitment to its community was emphasized in a statement released on August 10, where the team highlighted their dedication to rewarding players through actual gameplay rather than profit-driven strategies.
The developers also announced plans for the distribution of their upcoming HMSTR token, with 60% allocated directly to players. The remaining portion will support liquidity, future partnerships, in-game rewards, and further development of the ecosystem.
Hamster Kombat has been teasing what they claim to be the “largest airdrop in crypto history,” building anticipation among its rapidly expanding user base. The game has already attracted over 300 million players, a remarkable achievement following its initial success of acquiring 239 million users within just 81 days. This explosive growth has positioned the game as a potential catalyst for mass blockchain adoption, endorsed by both the development team and Telegram founder Pavel Durov.
Despite the game’s success, it has also faced challenges, including a surge in scams and phishing attacks targeting its community. The Hamster Kombat team has issued warnings on Telegram, advising users to beware of fake HMSTR airdrop offers as the official token launch approaches.
With premarket trading of HMSTR already available on Bybit’s OTC platform, the excitement surrounding Hamster Kombat continues to grow, even as the team remains vigilant against potential threats.
