Hamster Kombat’s Airdrop Steals the Spotlight

Both Catizen and Hamster Kombat, two well-known web3 games built on the Tron blockchain, are seeing major developments in September. While Catizen has already begun trading, Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) will start trading on centralized exchanges on September 26.

Despite this, HMSTR has already gained considerable traction in decentralized exchanges (DEXs), where its trading volume hit $91.16 million within 24 hours.

Paired with the stablecoin Tether (USDT), HMSTR became the top pool in terms of DEX trading volume. In contrast, CATI hasn’t garnered as much attention in the DEX space. Data from GeckoTerminal reveals that CATI, paired with Toncoin (TON), ranks 39th on DEX trading volume with $609,020.

Despite its strong start, users have reported issues with Hamster Kombat’s airdrop. Some were wrongfully flagged by the system for unfair play, preventing them from participating in the giveaway.
