The Telegram mini-app has gathered 239 million users in three months, all eager to exchange their in-game billions of coins for digital assets. Pavel Durov, one of the creators of the social network "VKontakte" and the company of the same name, and the Telegram messenger, has confirmed the upcoming launch of a new token associated with Hamster Kombat on the Telegram Open Network (TON) blockchain.
It took Hamster just 73 days to reach 100 million monthly users. Every day, 4-5 million new users join Hamster Kombat, making it the fastest-growing digital service in the world. As I mentioned a few months ago, a new wave of mini-apps is gaining momentum on Telegram, and Hamster Kombat is now leading this group. The staggering growth in popularity demonstrates the viral potential of the Telegram mini-app platform. Soon, the Hamster team will release their token on the TON platform, introducing hundreds of millions of people to the benefits of blockchain. A new era is dawning, and we are witnessing it in real time.
Earlier, the Ton Dating service for dating was launched on the TON blockchain. Since mid-June, it has been available to Telegram messenger users. During registration, the user must undergo multi-level identity verification. According to the developers' rules, only real people with confirmed data can use Ton Dating — no bots or fake profiles. During the two-month testing phase, only 3% of the profiles of those wishing to join Ton Dating passed moderation in the service.
Hamster Kombat
A mini-game in Telegram, played not only in Russia but all over the world. The task is simple: to enrich your virtual hamster character as much as possible and move it up the career ladder. Game coins are awarded for visiting the game, clicking in the game — "tapping" — on the hamster, and completing various tasks.
Virtual millions of coins can also be obtained by solving the ciphers of the day or upgrading in-game combinations of special cards. In-game currency is also paid for the player inviting their friends to Hamster Kombat via a referral link. For each new involved player, according to the principle of a financial pyramid, the creator of the referral link receives a reward.
The fact that virtual money can be exchanged for cryptocurrency, and thus earned, became known almost immediately. This was one of the reasons for the wild popularity of the game among adults and teenagers. However, a number of financial experts were skeptical of this method of earning. The exchange rate of the game coin to digital assets is unclear, and there is a high probability that the multi-billionaires in the hamster game world will not even become ordinary dollar, ruble, or euro millionaires in the real world.
Doctors also do not recommend abusing hamster tapping. Among the health consequences for players, doctors highlight inflammation of the wrist joint, sleep problems, headaches, and a disconnection from reality.
