Are hamsters fighting now? Not exactly—but while Hamster Kombat’s title might be a little misleading, this Telegram-based clicker game has quickly become a dominant leader in the play-to-earn space by expanding upon Notcoin’s winning model.
Like other tap-to-earn games, Hamster Kombat has announced that it will conduct an airdrop on The Open Network (TON), rewarding players for racking up in-game coins by eventually dropping them real, tradeable crypto tokens.
Here’s what you need to know about Hamster Kombat, how to play it, and the details on its token and airdrop.
What is Hamster Kombat?
Similar to Notcoin, Hamster Kombat has players tapping away to earn coins in a Telegram-native application (or “mini app”)—which means to play the game, you just open a chat on Telegram.
The game developers claim that they’ve amassed some 200 million users, all eagerly tapping away in-game in order to earn coins that will presumably be used to determine how many tokens players receive in the upcoming Hamster Kombat airdrop.
‘Hamster Kombat’ Telegram Game Hits 100 Million Players—Here's When the Token Is Coming
Hamster Kombat, the latest Telegram-based game to follow in the footsteps of crypto gaming sensation Notcoin, is seeing skyrocketing interest ahead of the upcoming token launch on The Open Network (TON). Now the team has revealed a massive milestone for players and has teased a launch target for the impending token. On Wednesday, the Hamster Kombat team announced that it has drawn 100 million players into the Telegram mini app to date, blasting upwards from a claimed mark of 60 million players l...
While Hamster Kombat has been around since March 2024, the game picked up serious steam after the conclusion of the Notcoin airdrop in June—likely due to tap-addicted gamers migrating to a new game with an upcoming token and airdrop in the works.
Hamster Kombat’s core concept is similar to Notcoin, with some slightly richer game mechanics layered on top of it. In short: It’s a tap-to-earn game mixed with a crypto exchange simulator.
The Next Notcoin? Telegram-Based Game ‘Hamster Kombat’ to Launch Token on TON
Hamster Kombat, the latest in a growing pile of crypto games that have been deployed on popular messaging app Telegram, is set to launch a token on The Open Network (TON). The crypto management simulation game claims to have amassed 60 million users since its launch in March. It has the largest Telegram channel with 20 million subscribers, according to TelegramChannels—that’s 13 million subscribers ahead of Notcoin’s own community. Telegram games have had a recent rise in popularity following t...
In Hamster Kombat, you’re the CEO of an up-and-coming crypto exchange, and it’s your job to grow the exchange to new heights never before seen… in the world of hamsters. In order to do so, players tap an image of a cartoon hamster to earn coins, and then use those coins to buy upgrades for their exchange.
How to play Hamster Kombat
Hamster Kombat starts off in a manner familiar to Notcoin users, with players tapping away at a golden coin in the Telegram app. With Hamster Kombat, however, the first step is—for some reason—shaving your hamster so he or she can become the CEO of a crypto exchange.
Similar to Notcoin, players can use their in-game points to purchase “Boosts” that increase stats, such as how many points are earned per tap, or how long you can tap before having to take a break and wait for your energy bar to refill. There are also free daily boosters that players can claim six times per day.
Once players have earned some points, they can start using them to upgrade their exchange in the “Mine” tab of the game. This tab shows all kinds of upgrades that players can purchase (purely with in-game coins) for their exchange, and include things such as adding coins like Bitcoin to be traded at your exchange, setting up a KYC process, or even going on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Every upgrade you purchase for your exchange earns you more coins passively. For example, adding the BTC pair to your exchange costs 250 points, but then earns you 40 points per hour. In other words, these additions quickly pay off and help propel your exchange further along.

Hamster Kombat's airdrop
What’s the point to earning in-game coins? Similarly to Notcoin, Hamster Kombat has also announced an upcoming airdrop, though it has been much more transparent about it than Notcoin was at first.
The Hamster Kombat team has targeted a July 2024 launch date, though that target could shift.

Full details of the airdrop have yet to be announced at time of publication, but the team has clarified that unlike Notcoin, it won't be a straight conversion from in-game coins to on-chain tokens.
"Airdrop will depend on the profit per hour and some other [activity] parameters that we will reveal later, NOT the coin balance," the team tweeted on June 6, further advising players to "play wisely."
‘Hamster Kombat’ Telegram Game Airdrop: Everything You Need to Know
Hamster Kombat picked up the baton from Notcoin, leading the next generation of Telegram crypto games while apparently amassing huge droves of players—more than 300 million, the developers said in late July, just weeks after Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov claimed that the game had topped 239 million players earlier in the month. What’s driving players to the game, which pairs simple tapping gameplay with lightly strategic moves as you take the role of a hamster CEO of a crypto exchange? An...
Hamster Kombat has also tweeted “profit per hour over coin balance,” emphasizing that detail. That suggests that players aiming to maximize their airdrop returns shouldn't focus on stacking coins alone, but should invest in upgrades and growing their virtual exchange ahead of the drop.
