Hamster Kombat has just unveiled its season 2 with the promise of being “ More than a game, ”, simultaneously launching Hamster Network, his own layer 2 blockchain on The Open Network (tone). This strategic initiative aims to transform the gaming experience into a real decentralized entertainment ecosystem, while the project seeks to win back its users after a difficult period.
Hamster Kombat transforms his game with a dedicated blockchain
On February 25, the Hamster Kombat team officially announced the launch of Hamster Network, presented as the first layer 2 blockchain dedicated to gaming on the tone ecosystem. Developed in partnership with Ton, this new infrastructure aims to provide an advanced technical solution to developers and users.
In a press release Exclusive to Cointelegraph, the team has said that this technology will allow developers to create fully decentralized applications and games that operate entirely on the blockchain. “” We are not talking about centralized games that only store certain data or NFT on-chain. We are talking about games, the whole logic of which is inscribed in intelligent contracts “The team underlined.
This layer 2 solution also offers compatibility with Solidey, a programming language widely adopted in the blockchain universe. The team deployed the network with a complete infrastructure which includes a dedicated crypto portfolio, an inter-chaînes bridge and a decentralized exchange platform (DEX).
Users benefit from a considerable advantage: anyone who already has a Ton portfolio can immediately use the same address on the Hamster network, which considerably simplifies the user experience.
From simple game to a full entertainment universe despite the challenges
Hamster Kombat season 2 is part of a wider vision called “ Hamster pours ”, a complete entertainment ecosystem articulated around the emblematic characters of the game. This strategic transformation comes at a critical moment for the project, faced with important challenges for several months.
The HMSTR token underwent significant depreciation, falling by 35% in February in a globally difficult crypto market. According to data From Coingecko, the course went from $ 0.00272 in early February to only $ 0.00176 when writing the article. This drop is in a broader trend, the token that has already lost 55% of its value since last October.
At the same time, Hamster Kombat has experienced considerable erosion from its user base. After having culminated at 300 million users at its peak, the game has only 11.5 million assets monthly according to the data from Telegram. This 86% fall is explained in particular by the monotony of the gameplay, graphics generated by IA deemed insufficient, and a controversy linked to the Airdrop of the Hmstr tokens which led to the disqualification of 2.3 million players.
Despite these setbacks, the Hamster Kombat team remains confident. She claims to have kept her “main users” and relies on the new blockchain infrastructure to re -engage them. The HMSTR token will continue to play a central role in the ecosystem, serving as Gas for transactions, as a means of participation in governance via the DAO, and a reward for active members of the community.
This new step for Hamster Kombat could mark a spectacular renewal or, on the contrary, the last act of a declining project. The future will tell us if its strategy will be enough to relaunch the dynamics of the project in an increasingly competitive crypto ecosystem.
