In an unexpected twist, the highly anticipated airdrop from the crypto-mining application, Hamster Kombat has sparked outrage among thousands of Nigerians.
After five months of persistent effort in tapping to earn rewards, users were eagerly awaiting the significant payouts that the coin’s promoters had promised—many even envisioning themselves as future millionaires.

However, upon the coin’s launch on Thursday, users were met with a harsh reality.
Instead of the lucrative financial rewards they had anticipated, payouts ranged from a disappointing 1 to 4 dollars, with unverified reports indicating that the highest earnings reported so far were between 7 and 17 dollars.
Frustrated users took to social media to vent their anger, with some lamenting payouts as low as ₦2.75 for their dedicated efforts.

Launched in March 2024, Hamster Kombat generated considerable buzz in the crypto space.
On Thursday afternoon, the official X account for Hamster Kombat, @hamster_kombat, announced the long-awaited launch with the message: “THE MOMENT IS HERE. $HMSTR trading has officially begun! Congratulations, and to the moon, CEOs. On-chain is on. On-chain direct claim and balance withdrawal options are open. You can now transfer your tokens anywhere!”
Rather than celebration, the announcement has fueled discontent among users, highlighting the stark contrast between expectations and the actual outcomes in the cryptocurrency world.
