From Hamster Kombat to Katizen; When will Telegram's big airdrops take place?
Popular Telegram games are ready to offer their tokens to millions of users. In this report, we have tried to tell you everything you users should know about the airdrop of Telegram games. According to Decrypt, this year we saw the remarkable popularity of Telegram-based games, which attracted a lot of attention with the promise of in-game progress and receiving a share of future tokens. For some of the most important and popular games, the airdrop and token release time has come and the dates have been set and players are eagerly waiting to receive their share.
From the super popular clicker game Hamster Kombat, which builds a cryptocurrency exchange, to the fighting game Rocky Rabbit and other similar games, these Telegram mini-apps have created a crazy trend in the cryptocurrency industry. Now is the time for the tokens of these projects to start a new wave in the industry and market.
Will these games continue to be popular after their tokens are released? Some of them may show their value more than expected after airdrop, like Notcoin, while others may be forgotten. But for now, the items mentioned in our report are the most hyped airdrop tokens of Telegram games that are on the horizon. In the following, we will review these games in order of release date.
Rocky Rabbit
Airdrop date: September 23
Rocky Rabbit has attracted more than 25 million players who click on the screen to collect coins to train their furry fighter. The game has yet to detail how tokens will be allocated to players based on their gameplay, although the in-game “airdrop” menu mentions that players can “earn money by fighting in battle,” but the feature has yet to be activated.
However, it is clear that the token's airdrop is fast approaching: on September 23, the project will launch the RabBitcoin token with the trading symbol RBTC on the TON Network blockchain. A tweet from this project mentioned that this token “will be listed on major exchanges” and today it was announced on their Telegram channel that the Rocky Rabbit token will be listed on MEXC and BingX exchanges on September 23. Therefore, this date will probably also be the time of token airdrop to players.
Hamster Kombat
Airdrop date: September 26 (October 5)
In Hamster Combat, players, as a hamster, try to build their own cryptocurrency exchange empire by click-through-the-loop. This game has been a stunning success and has more than 300 million players and the largest Telegram channel in the world.
With that said, fans are excited for the launch and airdrop of the HMSTR token that will take place on September 26. This follows a delay in the airdrop scheduled for July as the team needed more time to prepare for the airdrop. This token will be released on the Toon Telegram network, the same blockchain where the successful launch of NatCoin took place.
The game team has shared details about the factors that go into airdrop allocation to each player, including how much passive in-game income you've earned, how many other players you've invited to the game, and more.
X Empire
Airdrop date: September/October (October/November)
X Empire, formerly known as Musk Empire, has announced that its mining phase will end on September 30. The end of the mining phase will be one of the last major steps before the airdrop, evoking a move similar to NatCoin and indicating that the token offering can't be too far away.
This Elon Musk-themed Telegram game promises a token airdrop for late September or early October. Recently, the project announced that it has started burning the in-game coins of players who haven't played for more than 30 days, to ensure that active players receive a larger share, and certainly to motivate inactive players as well.
MemeFi
Airdrop date: October 9 (October 18)
MimeFi is a clicker fighting game where players fight giant giants inspired by memes like Pepe and Doge. Unlike the other games on this list, instead of running on Telegram's Tone network, Mimfy is being built on Ethereum's scalable network called Linea.
The airdrop will take place on October 9, which is when the MEMEFI token will be listed on “several top-tier exchanges,” according to the developer team. It has not yet been decided how player token allocation will be determined, but a “public airdrop checker” option will be available to players before the event.
TapSwap
Airdrop date: third quarter of 2024 (mid-October to mid-December)
Tap Swap is another clicker game that has attracted tens of millions of players in recent months. In a recent move, the game has added a new city-building mode called Tappy Town, which allows you to upgrade and improve various buildings to unlock additional rewards.
The Token Airdrop of this project has been confirmed in TON and the TapSwap team is looking to launch in the third quarter of this year. Meanwhile, the developers have announced that they are currently shaping its Tokenomics and negotiating with top-tier exchanges.
Catizen
Airdrop Date: Unknown
When will the airdrop be? No one is quite sure yet. Pluto Studio, the developer of Catizen, originally planned to launch the token (CATI) in July, but then postponed it due to challenges related to coordinating the launch and creating a stable gaming ecosystem.
However, given the recent rush of games to set September airdrop dates, Katzen is promoting some sort of big event or announcement for September 21st. Of course, it is clear that some players of the game are clearly fed up with the delays and vague messages from the development team. Either way, we'll have to wait and hear more about the plans for this cat-themed game very soon.
