Hamster Kombat, a Web3-based game, is working to reignite interest among its players after seeing a decline in monthly active users (MAUs).
The game, which initially gained massive attention, reached 300 million users in August but has since seen a drop, now retaining around 30 million MAUs. Despite the cooling off, a representative from the team expressed that the decline aligns with their expectations, as the game experiences natural fluctuations in interest.
Hamster Kombat’s spokesperson explained that the drop is expected during the transition between seasons, noting that the team is currently preparing for the launch of the second season. Even in this interim period, the game’s MAU number remains strong at over 30 million, indicating sustained engagement.
The team aims to reconnect with season one players while also attracting new users. Additionally, the game reported a $1.3 billion daily trading volume and $4 billion in perpetual trading volume for its HMSTR token, alongside 11 million tokenholders.
The spokesperson emphasized that the game’s large and active player base positions it to compete with other top blockchain projects and to expand into new markets in the future.
While Hamster Kombat works to expand its audience, other Telegram Mini Apps are also gaining momentum. Paws, another popular Telegram game, has seen rapid growth, currently boasting 40.7 million MAUs. Blum, a hybrid exchange app offering both centralized and decentralized exchange features, and Major, a task-based app that rewards users with cryptocurrency, are also rising in popularity, further intensifying the competition in the Telegram Mini App space.
