Ecosystem Partners: AVSs, liquid staking protocols, and other key contributors will receive 10 million tokens. Community Members: Early advocates and contributors will share 6 million tokens. The airdrop is based on a snapshot taken on Aug. 15, 2024, with claims opening on Sept. 17, 2024.

Telegram-based games like Hamster Kombat are setting the stage for true mainstream Web3 gaming adoption. Viral clicker game Hamster Kombat is among the “first generation” of games to facilitate large-scale Web3 gaming adoption, according to Yat Siu, co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands. Siu told Cointelegraph in an interview: “With platforms like Telegram and TON [The Open Network], you have the ability to boost that [Web3 adoption] because they don’t have those restrictions. Those clear games are the demonstration of the first generations of games that will bring us mass adoption into Web3.” Hamster Kombat surpassed 300 million players at the end of July as it’s gearing up for what it claimed to be the “largest airdrop in the history of crypto.” Hamster Kombat is reportedly the third-fastest app in the world to reach 150 million users. The game might even be on its way to securing a Guinness World Record.
