“Hamster Kombat Sends 200 Million Users into Frenzy on Telegram
The wildly popular game ‘Hamster Kombat’ on the messaging app Telegram has captivated users and recently became the third fastest app to reach 150 million users in history, trailing only Pokémon GO and Threads. ‘Hamster Kombat’ also made waves on X, revealing that the game has already attracted 200 million players within three months.
Similar to the well-known ‘Notcoin,’ this hamster-themed game focuses on a click-to-earn model. In ‘Hamster Kombat,’ players take on the role of a hamster CEO managing their own exchange. Apart from earning game points by clicking on hamsters on the screen, players can also obtain more rewards through daily missions and unlocking skills. These earnings will ultimately serve as a reference for future coin drops on the TON blockchain, making it a play-to-earn strategy game.
The game offers rich gameplay, requiring players to use points to purchase various upgrade cards, including acquiring new trading licenses, while expanding their business and increasing income through the exchange they operate. As players rise in status, their abilities as hamster CEOs also upgrade, enabling them to earn more passive points, among other benefits.
Sébastien Borget, co-founder of the metaverse platform The Sandbox, remarked in an interview with ‘Cointelegraph’ that games like ‘Hamster Kombat’ on Telegram are rapidly growing, showcasing the speed of innovation and transforming how players earn income. This also demonstrates how Web3 is driving rapid industry expansion on an incredible scale.

Hamster Kombat YouTube Channel breaks subscription growth records
According to ‘Cointelegraph,’ the game mechanics of Hamster Kombat are closely intertwined with its official YouTube channel content and social media platforms. Strategies such as subscribing to the channel or watching specific videos in exchange for points have propelled the Hamster Kombat YouTube channel to over 10 million subscribers in just a week.
This achievement surpasses the 293 million subscribers of YouTuber ‘Mr Beast,’ who once gained 20 million followers in a month. Hamster Kombat has applied to Guinness World Records to become the first channel to attract over 10 million subscribers in a week.
A YouTube expert noted that the Hamster Kombat YouTube channel earns $11 in advertising revenue for every 1,000 views. From May 24 to June 26, the channel accumulated over 473 million views, earning a total of $5.2 million in ad revenue. Videos on Hamster Kombat mainly cover cryptocurrency information, news, and are narrated by a small hamster, specially designed for Web3 newcomers.
This approach not only allows players to earn more points but also helps new users understand basic Web3 information and industry developments. Borget believes that this move will further promote the development of the entire Web3 ecosystem.
Another ‘earn-while-you-click’ game, ‘Notcoin,’ recently conducted a lucrative token airdrop, drawing even more players into ‘Hamster Kombat.’ Currently, the token airdrop date for Hamster Kombat has not been released, but players can already start linking their wallets in the game.
