Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) is a cryptocurrency project launched in 2024 that blends clicker game mechanics with crypto exchange dynamics. It became one of the most popular tap-to-earn (T2E) games, amassing over 300 million users within its first six months.
Players take on the role of CEOs managing cryptocurrency exchanges, earning in-game currency by clicking gold coins and upgrading their platforms.
HMSTR tokens serve as the in-game currency, used for purchases, upgrades and access to exclusive events. The play-to-earn model allows users to earn tokens through gameplay, tasks and daily challenges. Each hamster character is an NFT, enabling trading and selling on marketplaces. The game also includes educational materials to help users learn cryptocurrency concepts.
