Hamster Kombat, the leading play-to-earn Web 3 game on Telegram with a claimed user base of over 250 million, faces uncertainty as internal conflicts between its investors and development team jeopardize its highly anticipated airdrop.
The dispute centers around a disagreement between the Hamster Kombat team and key investor AD.RU, which invested over $600,000 and facilitated an additional $1 million in funding.
AD.RU expects a 25% return on investment, but the Hamster Kombat team denies any involvement with the company, escalating tensions.
These conflicts, coupled with technical challenges on the Open Network (TON), have cast doubt on the airdrop’s scheduled release, leading to a significant drop in the pre-market price of Hamster Tokens.
The ongoing delays have sparked frustration among the game’s community, particularly in Nigeria, where many are heavily invested in the project.
Hamster Kombat, a Web 3 game that allows players to act as CEOs running an exchange, aims to deliver the largest airdrop in crypto history if it can overcome these hurdles.

Anton Gorshkov, the CEO of AD.RU claims his company invested over $600,000 in Hamster Kombat and helped facilitate an additional $1 million in funding.
Ad.RU expects to receive 25% of the project shares as its Return on Investment (ROI). However, the Hamster Kombat team is denying any involvement with AD.RU.
Eduard Gurinovich, the project manager at Hamster Kombat doubled down on this assertion leading to a spat between the two parties.
Hamster Kombat’s Airdrop very uncertain
The above development has added to other chains of issues affecting the long-awaited biggest airdrop in Crypto history. The internal conflict directly affects the distribution of Hamster tokens scheduled earlier for this month.
Another issue affecting the Airdrop is the technical limitations of the Open Network (TON). A combination of these two issues means that the Hamster Kombat airdrop will likely be postponed.
The above developments have also affected the price of Hamster Tokens in the Pre-market trading. The price for Hamster Tokens has dropped by more than 50% from its peak, falling from $0.26 to about $0.169 on OKX and $0.187 on Bybit.
The continuous delay of the Hamster Airdrop has not sat well with its massive community with more voices rising against the project and its delayed Airdrops.
Nigerians are heavily invested in the Hamster Kombat project as the Web 3 community in the country awaits another airdrop that would match the antecedents set by Notcoin.
