All in-game activities will count toward accumulating more airdrop points, according to Hamster Kombat’s new airdrop section, updated on Aug. 8. The updated section includes six different sections for accruing tokens, including the player’s passive income and completion of earn tasks, achievements, Telegram subscription and keys, and referrals for friends.

However, the airdrop eligibility will also depend on the game cycle, community interactions, overall social activity and the quality of the invited players, a Hamster Kombat spokesperson told Cointelegraph:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “More players within the game will lead to higher capitalization and, consequently, larger rewards for everyone. The upcoming HMSTR airdrop is set to be the largest in crypto history. And we don’t have any venture capital investors. The only way to get the token is to play.”
</blockquote>
The much-awaited update comes over a week after Hamster Kombat&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hamster-kombat-300-million-users-largest-crypto-airdrop">reached 300 million players</a>&nbsp;and teased the upcoming launch of the “largest airdrop in the history of crypto.”

Hamster Kombat ultimately aims to onboard the next billion mainstream users to Web3.
When asked about the game’s end goal, a Hamster Kombat spokesperson told Cointelegraph:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “We want to build the biggest and most tight-knit community and onboard the next billion people into Web3, so we had to show everyone how Web3 actually works. The simplest way to do so is through the game.”
</blockquote>
Hamster Kombat’s convenience seamlessly introduces users to the underlying blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies without additional friction points, making the game a great tool for onboarding new Web3 users, the spokesperson added.
Others also believe in Telegram’s mainstream onboarding potential. For instance, Justin Hyun, director of investments at TON Foundation, said that Telegram could be a “<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/telegram-mini-apps-trojan-horse-mass-blockchain-adoption">Trojan horse” for mass blockchain adoption</a>.<iframe width="100%" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vOoKYzU6-mw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen data-ct-non-breakable="true"></iframe>

While it is known that 60% of the HMSTR token airdrop’s volume will be dedicated to players, there are no additional details about the tokenomics.
However, organizing the largest airdrop in crypto history could prove challenging, as it would need to surpass Uniswap’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/uniswap-price-index">UNI</a>) airdrop, which distributed over $6.43 billion — making it the most valuable crypto airdrop to date, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/biggest-crypto-airdrops" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to CoinGecko.
