What Went Wrong With the Hamster Kombat $HMSTR Airdrop

On September 26, 2024, Hamster Kombat launched its $HMSTR token across several major exchanges. However, the airdrop left the community disappointed and frustrated.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the main issues:

1/ Unbalanced Token Allocation

The introduction of a new anti-cheat system disqualified many genuine users, redirecting tokens to influencers and causing backlash

2/ Delays and Policy Shifts

The launch faced repeated delays, and a sudden decision to lock 11.25% of tokens until July 2025 further eroded trust

3/ Disappointing Launch Price

HMSTR opened at just $0.01, much lower than expected, and quickly fell to $0.0019—a nearly 40% decline

4/ Difficulties Cashing Out

Minimum transaction limits on major platforms like Binance made it hard for small holders to sell their tokens

5/ Technical Issues

Telegram wallet issues due to network congestion made trading difficult, adding to the frustration
