How Hamster Kombat Works and How to Earn HMSTR

Hamster Kombat is a game app within Telegram, inspired by the popular Notcoin project. Like Notcoin, Hamster Kombat belongs to the tap-to-earn genre. With its easy-to-play format and viral popularity, the game reached 100 million players in just 73 days after its launch in March 2024! As of August 1, the ATAS platform has added the HMSTR price chart, the currency of Hamster Kombat, with data provided by OKX exchange. You can now use this information to check the current price of the Hamster Kombat token. In this article, you will learn how to view the HMSTR price chart and find out other details about Hamster Kombat:

What Is Hamster Kombat and HMSTR?

HMSTR is a virtual coin used in the tap-to-earn game.  Game plot: players progress from a humble hamster to the head of a cryptocurrency exchange. 

Hamster Kombat quickly became a hit, gaining 239 million users in just 3 months. This milestone was highlighted by Telegram creator Pavel Durov on his channel, where he also noted the token launch on the TON blockchain.

How to start playing?

To get started, open the game through the Telegram bot at t.me/hamster_kombat_bot and hit Play. The game runs directly on your phone without needing to download anything (there are plans to release it on Google Play and the Apple App Store).

After a quick intro for new players, you can dive right in and start upgrading your hamster from a shaved creature to the head of a cryptocurrency exchange.

The gameplay focuses on various activities related to the world of cryptocurrencies as you work to develop your own exchange.

How to Earn in Hamster Kombat

The main way to earn in Hamster Kombat is by tapping the screen to collect HMSTR coins. Players can use these coins to upgrade their in-game exchange and progress through the game. For instance, adding a BTC pair to your exchange might cost 250 coins but will generate 40 coins per hour. Other ways to earn coins in the game include:

• Earnings through subscriptions to official channels. Earn coins by following the Hamster Kombat project on Telegram, X (Twitter), and YouTube.
• Referral program. Invite friends to the game and receive additional rewards.
• Bonus program. Earn extra coins through bonuses like daily logins.
• Use boosts to remove restrictions (for example, preventing energy loss) to increase earnings.
• Mini-games. Play mini-games within Hamster Kombat to unlock additional coins.

Hamster Kombat Combo Cards

This feature allows players to significantly boost their earnings in the game. Coins are awarded when a player successfully executes a specific sequence of actions (a combo) in the game. For each correct move, the player receives one of the three cards needed to unlock extra earnings. The combo changes daily. To find out the current combo for Hamster Kombat, just ask Google, including today’s date in your search.

In the screenshot, a player shows on YouTube how to unlock combo cards in Hamster Kombat. Whoever discovers the right combination can create a video that might rack up thousands of views, but keep in mind it will be outdated by the next day. 

Hamster Kombat Daily Cipher

Daily ciphers in Hamster Kombat offer another way to earn extra coins. To participate in this task, you need to enter a special code using Morse code:

• To input a dot (.), tap the hamster quickly.
• To input a dash (-), press and hold the tap on the hamster for 2 seconds.
• Pause for 3-4 seconds between each symbol.

The code is a single word related to cryptocurrencies. To find out what the secret word is for today, just Google “Hamster Kombat daily cipher” along with today’s date, then enter it using Morse code. Example. The player above demonstrates how to input the cipher and earn coins.

When Will HMSTR Be Listed on Exchanges?

The listing process has been long and unclear. Discussions about listing HMSTR tokens started at the project’s launch, but the possible dates have been repeatedly pushed back. There could be various reasons for this:

• the need to structure the tokenomics in a way that protects HMSTR from a potential price drop if players decide to sell their assets after listing;
• the large number of players that need to be considered;
• technological, organizational, and legal challenges.

Real cryptocurrency exchanges may see the risk of Hamster Kombat losing popularity as quickly as it gained it. To avoid risking their reputations, they may want to ensure the project has a long-term, stable future before proceeding with the listing. As of early August 2024, HMSTR has been listed on pre-market sections of exchanges like OKX, Kucoin, and Bybit. Simply put, these are “preparatory” trades that take place before the main listing.

What Is the Current Price of HMSTR?

You can find out using the ATAS trading and analytics platform. To do this:

• download ATAS for free, install, and launch the platform;
• open (1) the chart by entering the ticker HMSTR (2) in the search bar. You will find a line for the pre-market on OKX or other lines if HMSTR gets listed on other crypto exchanges that ATAS tracks. Click OK.
• check (3) the current price of HMSTR (an active exchange connection is required to see real-time price changes).

The chart shows low liquidity in HMSTR pre-market trading. The price is not moving much, and volumes are close to zero.

Active trading of HMSTR is currently not viable – you will need to wait for the main listing (if it happens). The chart shows that after its pre-market listing on OKX, HMSTR’s price fell by over 20% in the first 48 hours.

How Much Will HMSTR Cost?

If you believe in the long-term potential of the Hamster Kombat project, you need solid reasons for HMSTR’s value and utility. But what could back the value of a coin that is given away for free to anyone who taps on a hamster?  According to the project’s White Paper, HMSTR’s value comes from its use as in-game currency.

Hamster Kombat’s strength lies in its large audience, but will it keep their loyalty if players cannot convert their in-game coins to USDT?  HMSTR, which is distributed in large quantities and lacks real assets or in-demand services, might struggle to compete in the crypto market. Just because Notcoin managed to list on Binance and other exchanges, achieving a $1 billion market cap, does not mean the same success will follow for this “tap-to-earn” coin. Be prepared for significant risks associated with investing in a new and unproven crypto project.
