TL;DR
-
The Telegram-based game ‘Hamster Kombat’ has pulled in over 100M users since March, helping to prove a foundational growth blueprint in web3.
Full Story
Most people don’t lend vast chunks of their money out on a daily basis — and they typically don’t use it to secure decentralized blockchains.
Which is why we’ve never seen lending and staking as features that may one day lead to crypto mass adoption.
When trying to guess at which applications will get us there, we tend to place our bets on:
-
Gaming
-
Payments
-
And/or social media
With gaming being the most obvious in our minds, because it’s the easiest category to break in to (payments and social media each have heavily established network effects that people are reluctant to leave).
Ok — now, don’t laugh — but this new Telegram-based game ‘Hamster Kombat’ helps prove that point (we said don’t laugh).
The game has already pulled in over 100M users (that’s 2x the total amount of US crypto holders) — and it only launched in March.
And yeah, it’s piggy-backing off Telegram’s 900M strong user base — and yeah, it only really started picking up users when the game makers announced they were going to run an airdrop…
But that’s a good thing!
Because it helps confirm a much used blueprint, for others to follow:
Find a crypto aligned network with a ton of users → create a product for that network → announce an airdrop to attract new users fast.
If the product is solid, a large percentage of those new users will stick around and continue to use the product.
The foundations of this approach aren’t exclusive to web3 either!
Look at Farmville:
They found a network with a ton of users (Facebook) → created a product for that network (Farmville) → marketed that product (via Facebook Ads).
Will ‘Hamster Kombat’ survive in the long run?
No idea. But the growth blueprint it uses probably will.
Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?

Live concerts have a special magic. No recording can ever capture that raw energy of the crowd and the artist performing in the moment.
Watching a sunset over the ocean is one of the most peaceful experiences in life. Nature has a way of reminding us how small but connected we all are.
Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.
The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.

The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?
