Less than a day before its launch, the Hamster Kombat team shared an updated roadmap with new features planned that will extend into mid-2025.
As users speculated on the Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) trading price and disgruntled users threatened to boycott the viral Telegram minigame, the project's developers announced An extension of their roadmap. According to Hamster Kombat’s website, the team plans to launch non-fungible token support and a progressive web app aimed at desktop and mobile devices, including Apple’s iPhone.
The token buyback plan is more in line with HMSTR’s potential price action. The team intends to use advertising revenue to purchase supplies and redistribute tokens in future airdrop seasons.
The Hamster Kombat airdrop debacle
User perception of the HMSTR airdrop did not seem to be affected by Hamster Kombat’s expanded roadmap. The token distribution, scheduled for September 26 at noon UTC, was promised to be one of the largest airdrops in cryptocurrency history.
However, hopes that the team would live up to expectations were dashed earlier this week with the HMSTR allocations. Many users felt wronged by the coin rewards and claimed that influencers and promoters were being unfairly prioritized.
More than 300 million people played the Telegram-based game developed by The Open Network (TON). The team disqualified approximately 2.3 million users for cheating and reported that 131 million users were eligible for the airdrop.
Several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, were set to list HMSTR, which could propel the token into open markets (or not). According to the team, HMSTR is expected to outperform previous airdrops of games like Notcoin. At the time, Notcoin distributed over 80 million tokens worth $1 billion to its community and participants.

On the other hand, one of the project's co-founders is said to have launched a hard fork called Hamster Kombat. Hard forks are independent imitations of an existing protocol, usually intended to improve upon previous iterations.
