JAKARTA - One of the trends that is being hotly discussed among the crypto community is the presence of a play-to-earn-based mini app on the Telegram application, such as the Hamster Kombat game.

Hamster Kombat became a hot topic of conversation after it was claimed to be the world's largest Telegram channel, with 11.25 million subscribers and "25 million CEOs in the Hamster community." This figure is fantastic, considering that Telegram itself has about 1.5 billion global secra users.

Hamster Kombat recorded 24.8 million active users and the average user session reached 19.8 times per person. This popularity is also influenced by the mini app trend previously spearheaded by Notcoin (NOT), a viral game with a tap-to-earn mechanism in the realm of crypto mining.

Notcoin itself managed to reap 30 million users in just two months after its launch. This figure shows impressive growth in the Web3 sector. Notcoin's increasing popularity soared after the crypto asset was listed on a number of well-known crypto exchanges.

Meanwhile, Hamster Kombat follows in the footsteps of Notcoin with a user base that is no less large. Each of their uploads on Telegram is able to reach 2.3 million accounts. The second position of the Telegram channel with the highest number of subscribers is currently occupied by Telegram Tips.

So, what makes Hamster Kombat so in demand? This game offers a simulation of being the CEO of the crypto exchange. Players can increase their income in the game by buying an "enhanced card" or inviting friends to join. In addition, players are also faced with various challenges like a real-world CEO.

Interestingly, Hamster Kombat has partnered with certain blockchain networks to release game-specific tokens. The name blockchain is still a mystery, although the Hamster Kombat community has been busy guessing potential partners, such as Binance, Bybit, Toncoin (TON), and even Notcoin itself.

Until now, Hamster Kombat still uses an internal coin system. Players can "mine" these coins in the game. However, in the future, they will be converted into tokens and have the potential to be traded on crypto exchanges.

In accordance with the roadmap published by Hamster Kombat, their token is scheduled to launch in May, along with the introduction of a special card and airdrop assignment. Furthermore, in June, this game will introduce a soft currency along with a hard currency called HMSTR.

The presence of Hamster Kombat and similar games sparked discussions about the sustainability of the play-to-earn trend. Some parties question the economic sustainability aspect of this model, where the value of crypto assets and game tokens depends heavily on market demand.
