On the other hand, the number of participants in the BNB pool for the upcoming airdrop totaled 1,309,109, with over 18 million BNB locked. The current status is a clear indication that many crypto enthusiasts and gamers are rushing into the Binance Launchpool to increase their earnings during the HMSTR airdrop. They are required to stake BNB or FDUSD to earn the HMSTR token.
Gamers in the United States are not eligible for the 3 billion HMSTR giveaway. The team behind the Hamster Kombat game has already concluded the token allocation on Telegram.
More Rewards for Hamster Kombat Gamers
Hamster Kombat Season 1 ended on September 20, and the team shared the snapshot’s result. Of the 300 million players it had gathered within the last six months, only 131 qualified for the September 26 airdrop. About 2.3 million players were tagged as cheaters because of the strategy they leveraged to farm the tokens.
Consequently, they were disqualified, and their rewards were taken from them as a punishment for their actions. The team had issued a warning to cheaters after implementing its anti-cheat strategy last week. Hence, its action hardly came as a surprise.
In the meantime, some eligible players have yet to select their preferred withdrawal method. According to Hamster Kombat, about 30.6 million people fall into this category, but they can still claim their airdrop after the deadline.
Apart from the extra earnings from Binance Launchpool, a new reward program was also introduced recently. This is for those who chose to receive their airdrop via Telegram wallet. They can get up to 300% APY on their assets.
The long-awaited listing is less than 24 hours away. At around 10 UTC on the same day, the HMSTR airdrop and on-chain claims will commence. Trading of the token on major exchanges starts at 12 UTC.
