Hamster Kombat hints at NFTs, web app after airdrop

With less than a day until the airdrop, the Hamster Kombat team has shared an updated roadmap with new planned features stretching all the way to mid-2025.

As users speculate on the listing price of Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) and unhappy users threaten to boycott the viral Telegram mini-game, the project’s developers have announced an expansion of its roadmap. According to Hamster Kombat’s website, the team plans to launch a progressive web app with non-fungible token support, targeting desktop and mobile devices, including Apple’s iPhone.

More in line with HMSTR’s potential price action is its token buyback plan. The team intends to use ad revenue to build supply and redistribute tokens in future airdrop seasons.

Hamster Kombat airdrop disaster

User perception of the HMSTR airdrop appears to be unaffected by Hamster Kombat’s expanded roadmap. The token distribution, scheduled for September 26 at noon UTC, is promised to be one of the largest airdrops in the cryptocurrency’s history.

However, any hopes that the team would live up to expectations were dashed earlier this week with the HMSTR allocations, with many users feeling cheated by the coin rewards, claiming that influencers and promoters were unfairly prioritized.

Over 300 million people have played the Telegram-based game powered by The Open Network (TON). The team disqualified around 2.3 million users for cheating and reported that 131 million users were eligible for the airdrop.

Several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, were preparing to list HMSTR, which could — or could not — make the token soar on the open markets. According to the team, HMSTR is expected to surpass previous gaming airdrops like Notcoin. At the time, Notcoin has distributed over 80 million tokens worth $1 billion to its community and participants.

Elsewhere, one of the project’s co-founders reportedly launched a hard fork called Hamster Kombat. Hard forks are independent imitations of an existing protocol that typically aim to improve upon previous iterations.
