A revolutionary new game has taken the instant messaging platform Telegram by storm since its launch earlier this year. Hamster Kombat, as it is called, has already amassed an incredible 239 million sign-ups within just three months, solidifying its position as the latest internet sensation.

In this captivating game, players assume the role of the CEO of a fictional crypto exchange, experiencing real-world dynamics. By tapping on the digital hamster, users are able to mine in-game coins, which can then be strategically used to upgrade their virtual startup.

Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, expressed his astonishment at the game’s rapid growth, stating, “It took Hamster a mere 73 days to attract 100 million monthly users. Every day, 4-5 million new users join Hamster Kombat, making it the fastest-growing digital service worldwide. As I mentioned a few months ago, a wave of new mini-apps on Telegram is on the horizon, and Hamster Kombat is leading the pack. Its remarkable expansion demonstrates the viral potential of the Telegram mini-app platform.”

Hamster Kombat also intends to reward players for their participation in the game with the upcoming launch of its token, which will be built on the layer-1 protocol Toncoin (TON) later this month. This development will introduce blockchain benefits to hundreds of millions of individuals, marking the arrival of a new era.

“Hamster’s team will soon create its token on TON, bringing the advantages of blockchain technology to a vast number of people. We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in real-time,” Durov added.
