Hamster Kombat Hopes to Revitalize Interest with Layer-2 Network Launch on TON and Upcoming Season 2 Overhaul

  • Hamster Kombat launches a layer-2 network on TON to expand HMSTR token use and power the Hamsterverse ecosystem.

  • The new Hamster Network aims to strengthen Hamster Kombat’s position in decentralized gaming with DAO-backed strategies.

  • Despite earlier setbacks, the platform plans a major gameplay overhaul in Season 2, focusing on player-driven customization and innovation.

Hamster Kombat is set to launch a layer-2 network on The Open Network, revitalizing its gaming ecosystem amidst user challenges and market fluctuations.

Hamster Kombat is Launching its Own Blockchain Network

The upcoming blockchain, reportedly named Hamster Network, will form the foundation of the broader Hamsterverse ecosystem. Developers confirmed that work on the network is already underway.

Over the next few weeks, the team plans to present a detailed roadmap and implementation strategy to the DAO, focusing on strengthening Hamster Kombat’s position in the decentralized gaming sector.

“The vote on the second proposal has ended! The DAO community has spoken: there WILL BE Hamster L2 blockchain built on TON! We will be serving our community, the biggest web3 community in the world, with the technological foundation it asked for,” the project posted on X (formerly Twitter).

The Hamster Kombat community has previously supported high-profile initiatives, including events featuring a $1 billion prize pool for token holders. These decisions reflect growing enthusiasm for the platform’s expansion and its broader ambitions in blockchain-based gaming.

Tap-to-Earn Games On the Decline

After their initial hype in Q2 and Q3 this year, tap-to-earn games on Telegram have seen declining interest throughout the last few months. According to the latest reports, interest in such games has dropped nearly 80% between June and December 2024.

This is also visible in TON’s on-chain activity. Data shows that the number of monthly active wallets has dropped by nearly 50% since October.

Hamster Kombat was widely regarded as a breakout hit in 2024. Its NFT integration plans also drove a 400% surge in Telegram’s NFT activity in October.

However, following a failed airdrop, the platform experienced a significant drop in users and token value. Within three months, its user base declined from 300 million to 41 million, and the HMSTR token lost nearly 60% of its value.

In November, the team announced the launch of the game’s second season, which promises to revamp gameplay. Players will gain opportunities to manage virtual game studios, create custom spaces, recruit team members, and run tests—marking a major shift in game dynamics.

Yet, interest in tap-to-earn games continues to plummet because of their lack of utility and repetitive gameplay. It will be interesting to see if users discover a renewed interest in Hamster Kombat after its new L2 network launch.

Conclusion

The future of Hamster Kombat hinges on the successful launch of its layer-2 network and its ability to adapt to changing player preferences. As the platform combats declining user interest, the upcoming gameplay overhaul could either reinvigorate its community or signify a further downturn in its fortunes.
