In a surprising twist, the highly anticipated airdrop from the crypto-mining app **Hamster Kombat**, which had gained significant traction over the past few months, has left many Nigerians frustrated and disappointed. After five months of persistent effort and tapping to accumulate rewards, users had high hopes of receiving substantial payouts, with some even fantasizing about becoming millionaires……CONTINUE READING 

However, when the coin launched on Thursday, the reality was far from what was promised. Most users reported receiving payouts between just $1 and $4, a stark contrast to the grand promises made by the app’s promoters. Unverified reports indicated the highest payout ranged between $7 and $17.

Social media platforms quickly became flooded with complaints from angry users, some of whom received as little as ₦2.75 for their months of effort. The campaign, which initially promised to transform everyday Nigerians into billionaires, has instead resulted in widespread disappointment. Many users accused **Hamster Kombat** of misleading them, turning what was meant to be a life-changing opportunity into a disheartening experience.

**Hamster Kombat** had gained attention since its launch in March 2024. On Thursday, its official X (formerly Twitter) account, **#hamster_kombat**, announced the coin’s long-awaited launch, declaring, “THE MOMENT IS HERE. $HMSTR trading has officially begun! Congratulations, and to the moon, CEOs.”

Despite the initial excitement, the reality of the meager payouts led to a flurry of negative reactions online. One user, Geoffrey Nwankpa, expressed his frustration, saying, “You gave me dust after 4 months of killing hamsters. It’s hunting season.” Another user, **Ediboi**, sarcastically posted, “I’m the CEO of dust. We’re all CEOs, yes or no?”

Even with the coin listed on **CoinMarketCap** as **HMSTR**, ranking 114th with a value of $0.008315 at the time of writing, users continued to express disappointment. The market cap was recorded at $535.3 million, with a trading volume of $448.7 million within 24 hours.

The backlash against **Hamster Kombat** mirrors similar sentiments from users of another tap-to-earn app, **Tapswap**, powered by TON Blockchain, which also failed to meet expectations, as token allocations were repeatedly postponed.
