Hamster Kombat, the latest game taking the Telegram platform by storm, is poised for a remarkable token launch on The Open Network (TON), following the footsteps of the crypto gaming sensation Notcoin. The game has attracted immense interest as it gears up for its upcoming token release.
Recently, the Hamster Kombat team unveiled a significant achievement for its players and hinted at a potential launch timeframe for the awaited token. In an announcement on Wednesday, the team revealed a remarkable milestone, boasting a staggering 100 million players engaged in the Telegram mini app. This figure marks a substantial surge from the reported 60 million players just last Friday.

This influx of players is remarkable for any game, especially considering the imminent introduction of a crypto token.

However, the challenge lies in retaining these players over time. Currently, data shared by the Hamster Kombat team suggests a daily active user (DAU) count ranging from 40 to 45 million. Nonetheless, a significant portion of this figure may consist of newcomers exploring the game for the first time, given the recent surge in user influx.
Lessons from Notcoin and Expectations for Hamster Kombat
During a recent Twitter Spaces session conducted with the TON Foundation earlier this week, a representative from the Hamster Kombat team, identified as "Hamster Girl," disclosed that the current target for listing the game's token is set for July. However, she emphasized that this timeline is subject to change depending on various factors. This sentiment was echoed by a representative from the TON Foundation who confirmed to Decrypt's GG on Thursday that the Hamster Kombat team is indeed aiming for a July listing.
"Hamster Girl" elaborated during the Twitter Spaces session that the listing could potentially occur slightly earlier or later than July, as there are numerous factors at play, including compliance requirements and negotiation processes.

The experience of Notcoin serves as a notable example of token listing delays within the crypto gaming sphere. Initially slated to coincide with the Bitcoin halving on April 20, the launch of Notcoin's token faced delays. Just days before the scheduled release, the developer, Open Builders, opted to postpone the NOT token launch. Subsequently, it missed the end-of-April target before finally debuting on May 16. This case underscores the complexities involved in coordinating token launches, with factors such as compliance considerations and negotiation dynamics potentially influencing the timeline.
Players of Hamster Kombat are undoubtedly anticipating a similar level of excitement once their token becomes available. Additionally, Toncoin, the native token of The Open Network, may also be reaping the benefits of the buzz surrounding Hamster Kombat. Currently ranked as the 10th most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization, TON reached a new all-time high price of $7.76 early Wednesday.

Fortunately for enthusiasts of the tapping gameplay, unlike Notcoin, Hamster Kombat reportedly does not intend to pause gameplay as the token launch approaches. "Obviously, the game will never stop," assured Hamster Girl. "It will not stop after the listing. It will keep rolling, and a lot more mechanics are coming, a lot more cards [...] and a lot more incentive to invite even more friends and play along with each other."
