Many believe the platform’s success mirrors the trend of popular play-to-earn tokens such as Notcoin [NOT].
Notably, its rapid success has led the team to apply for a Guinness World Record for being the first YouTube channel to surpass 10 million subscribers in a week.
Echoing similar sentiments, crypto YouTuber Ajay Kashyap said,
“Hamster Kombat breaks records.”
Cons to consider
However, not everything seems to be going smoothly as the company plans to launch on the Toncoin[TON] blockchain seems delayed.
Interestingly, players have been able to link TON wallets in the game since June 2024, despite the team announcing an official launch date for its token.
Repeating the same thing, a student counselor with the ticker @i_jandor noted,
“When will Hamster be launched? The delay is becoming clear.”
What is the link with Notcoin?
Hamster Kombat, similar to Notcoin, offers users the chance to earn coins using a Telegram mini-app, making the game as easy as opening a chat.
In a recent live session, the team behind Hamster Kombat acknowledged Notcoin’s influence on their success.
They highlighted how the use of Telegram’s strong social features has greatly boosted the game’s rapid popularity.
But despite the success of Hamster Kombat, that is NOT the case experience a declinea decrease of 18.16% in the last 24 hours.
However, AMBCrypto’s analysis of Santiment data from NOT showed an increase in social dominance, social volume and positive sentiment.
