In total, over 2.3 million cheaters have been blocked. Specifically:
- one individual connected over 400 accounts to a single Binance address;
- another invited nearly 2,000 “friends,” detected by the game’s anti-cheat system;
- some accounts logged into the game simultaneously and clicked on the same pixel.
The project team analyzed user behavior for several months before the token launch and airdrop. They confiscated 6.8 billion tokens from dishonest players. Half will be distributed among the community, while the other half will be burned.
“Cheaters have no place in our community. They automate their sales using software to gain an advantage over regular players. We care about our users and market participants, especially long-term holders, and want to protect them,” the developers noted.
Previously, the listing of the meme token HMSTR was announced by cryptocurrency exchanges Binance, OKX, and Bybit.
Earlier, Hamster Kombat players expressed dissatisfaction with the game’s token distribution system.
