The developers of Hamster Kombat, the popular click-based game played on Telegram, have finally unveiled all the details regarding the first season of their highly anticipated airdrop. A total of 60 billion HMSTR tokens will be distributed among participants. While this news has excited many in the player community, it has also sparked some criticism. As The Bit Journal reported, the HMSTR tokens are expected to be listed on Binance, which adds even more interest to this airdrop. Here are the full details.
Hamster Kombat Distribution and Vesting Period
The Hamster Kombat team announced that out of the project’s total supply of 100 billion HMSTR tokens, 75 billion will be allocated to the community. For the first season’s airdrop, 60 billion tokens, or 60%, will be distributed immediately. The remaining 40% will be released in a second-season airdrop.

Of the 60 billion tokens, 88.75% will be distributed immediately, meaning that about 53.25 billion tokens will reach users right away. The remaining 11.25%, or 6.75 billion tokens, will be subject to a 10-month vesting period, with tokens gradually becoming available each month.
However, this vesting strategy has disappointed some users who expected all the tokens to be distributed in the first season. Many players, who were hoping to claim their full rewards immediately, expressed frustration over this gradual distribution process.
Airdrop Eligibility and Anti-Cheat Measures
The airdrop is available to a total of 131 million users. Although Hamster Kombat reached 300 million active players in the first half of the game, only a portion of these users qualified for the airdrop due to the developer’s strict anti-cheat measures. Approximately 2.3 million accounts were disqualified for cheating.

Dear CEOs,

These anti-cheat measures have sparked some controversy within the community, with several players claiming that they were unfairly banned despite playing by the rules. This has led to criticism that the anti-cheat policies are too harsh.
Community Reaction and Future Plans
The HMSTR community has expressed dissatisfaction with both the vesting strategy and the reward distribution. Many players have pointed out that a large portion of the rewards went to influencers and referral programs, while performance-based rewards were limited. This distribution strategy has been viewed as unfair by a significant portion of the player base. Nevertheless, Hamster Kombat continues to grow rapidly.
The developers have announced that new features and updates will be introduced in the second season. After a two-week break, the second season will begin, and the team is urging the 30.6 million players who haven’t yet claimed their airdrop rights to select their withdrawal method as soon as possible. The team emphasized the importance of this step to ensure smooth distribution of tokens to all eligible players.
