Binance has hinted about possibly adding Hamster Kombat ($HMSTR) to the world’s largest digital asset ecosystem. The move, which is yet to be confirmed, generated excitement among traders and investors eagerly anticipating the airdrop and exchange listing.
After its debut on CoinMarketCap, Hamster Kombat will be soon available on Binance, making it easier for users to trade. The mega platform apparently seeks to attract a large user base, considering Hamster Kombat’s community of over 300 million members and 50 million daily players.
Initially set for launch in July 2024, the release has been delayed due to technical challenges with the massive airdrop involving over 250 million users. Despite this, $HMSTR is available for pre-market trading on exchanges such as Gate.io, OKX, Bybit, KuCoin, and Bitget, although the exact launch date remains uncertain.
Hamster Kombat, described as a “crypto exchange CEO simulator,” has become the most popular Telegram mini app in the idle game genre. Players start as a hamster CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange, generating in-game coins by tapping their avatar and purchasing upgrades to increase profit per hour. The game also offers coins for referring friends and completing daily tasks like solving ciphers or buying specific upgrades.
Hamster Kombat has set multiple world records, including being the first YouTube channel to gain over 10 million subscribers in one week. The game’s YouTube page is growing faster than Mr. Beast’s, the platform’s most subscribed-to channel globally.

The game’s YouTube channel has gained 32 million subscribers since its launch in May, its X profile has 11.3 million followers, and its official Telegram channel has 49.4 million subscribers.
Hamster Kombat also set a record as the fastest product to reach 100 million users, achieving this milestone in just two months.
Hamster Kombat revealed plans for the airdrop of its HMSTR token. The airdrop is expected to be the largest ever in the Web3 industry, with 60% of the airdrop’s volume dedicated to players. The remaining 40% will be allocated for market liquidity, ecosystem partnerships and grants, rewarding squads, and other items.
No venture capital or early investments back the token, meaning its value will be driven purely by organic demand and community interest, as per the announcement.
The Hamster Kombat airdrop aims to surpass previous records, including Uniswap’s UNI airdrop, which is valued at over $6.43 billion.
Beyond the airdrop, Hamster Kombat plans to expand into a holistic gaming ecosystem. The organization will support game studios of varying sizes by offering marketing opportunities, token usage, and collaboration options.
The Hamster Foundation is working on creating new revenue streams to avoid selling the upcoming token and plans to launch ecosystem grant programs for third-party developers. These grants will be denominated in fiat currency to prevent additional selling pressure on the HMSTR token.
