Catizen, Hamster Kombat Dominate Almost All TON Network Metrics: Bitget Report

Catizen, Hamster Kombat Dominate Almost All TON Network Metrics: Bitget Report.

A report from Bitget into The Open Network (TON) has further cemented the wild success of its play-to-earn (P2E)/play-to-airdrop (P2A) Web3 gaming rollout, revealing that Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) and Catizen (CATI) are the biggest draws for Telegram’s budding blockchain ecosystem.
Hamster Kombat Leads

Building on the P2E success of Notcoin (NOT), which “pioneered” the monetizable mini-app experience on Telegram, Catizen, and Hamster Kombat are the major drivers behind TON’s absurd growth.

As of August 2024, Hamster Kombat’s click-to-earn model attracted a whopping 200 million users, with almost 10 million subscribers to its X channel, and an additional 28.7 million on YouTube.
Just to put things into perspective and show how tantalizing airdrops have become, its users now exceed 250 million, the YouTube channel now has 37.1 million subscribers, and its X channel now has over 13 million followers. That’s just a few weeks after the report’s data was gathered.

The HMSTR token airdrop could be the biggest ever as it will distribute 60% of the token supply to players. Bitget premarket pricing data estimates that the total market cap of the token will reach $1.28 million, meaning the airdrop is worth $768 million.
Catizen Performance

Catizen’s performance has been nothing short of spectacular either. As of June 21, 2024, Bitget reported the number of players had exceeded 20 million; today, it stands at 39.4 million. This has converted into the game currently having over 3 million on-chain users, and 4.5 million daily players, more than double that of June.

According to the Catizen Telegram, the game has generated over $25 million and is the first Web3 app to reach 1 million paying users. Hamster Kombat has not yet disclosed its revenues, though judging by its user count and daily players, the game has probably raked in more than Catizen.
