In a detailed <a href="https://x.com/hamster_kombat/status/1808885268465750055" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a> on his personal Telegram channel, which has a following of 2.7 million, Durov shared his enthusiasm for the game’s rapid adoption and its role in ushering in a new era of digital interaction. “Hamster Kombat has become the latest Internet phenomenon everyone’s talking about,” Durov announced. 
He highlighted the unprecedented speed of its user acquisition, noting, “It took Hamster only 73 days to reach 100 million monthly users. Each day, 4.5 million new users join Hamster Kombat, making it the fastest-growing digital service in the world.” 
Hamster Kombat is categorized within the idle game genre but stands out due to its <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/hamster-kombat-crypto-users/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">unique premise and gameplay</a>. Players begin as the avatar of a bald hamster, who has just signed a contract to become the CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange. 
The primary gameplay involves tapping the hamster to generate in-game coins, with a secondary focus on purchasing upgrades to improve the efficiency and profitability of the exchange. 
The social elements of the game are robust, including features that allow players to earn additional coins by referring friends, solving daily ciphers linked to morse codes from YouTube videos, or selecting specific daily upgrades that boost their performance. This blend of simple yet engaging mechanics has not only sustained a high level of player retention but also facilitated a community-driven approach to gameplay. 
Looking forward, Hamster Kombat is set to expand its footprint in the blockchain space. Durov revealed plans for the game to mint its own token on the <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/toncoin-flips-cardano-dogecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Telegram Open Network (TON)</a>, a significant step that could democratize access to blockchain technologies. 
“Soon, Hamster’s team will mint its token on TON, introducing the benefits of blockchain to hundreds of millions of people,” Durov stated. This integration points to a strategic move by Telegram to leverage its massive user base and robust mini-app platform to influence the burgeoning blockchain ecosystem. 
While the exact date for the token launch remains unannounced, the game’s roadmap indicates that crucial infrastructure for in-game transactions via blockchain has already been established, with players able to link TON wallets to their game accounts as of June 2024. 
The cultural impact of Hamster Kombat extends beyond its gameplay. The game has been a significant presence on social media, particularly YouTube, where it competes with some of the largest content creators. The official Hamster Kombat YouTube channel has quickly amassed 32 million subscribers, outpacing record-setting channels like that of <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/popular-youtuber-mrbeast-reveals-significant-crypto-holdings-heres-what-he-has/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Mr Beast</a>. This social media strategy not only enhances player engagement through interactive content but also serves as a platform for cryptocurrency education, aligning with the broader goals of promoting blockchain understanding among its players. 
The success of Hamster Kombat underscores the potential of Web3 games to serve as more than just entertainment. Durov’s vision for the game includes its role as a possible mechanism for universal basic income (UBI), where players can convert time and engagement into tangible rewards. This model could provide insights into how blockchain-based applications can be structured to provide economic benefits beyond conventional gaming achievements. 
At press time, TON traded at $6.63.
