The network operates on the Ton Virtual Machine, with its smart contracts fully compatible with The Open Network, simplifying the migration of dapps. The system’s security is ensured by full compatibility with the original blockchain.
At launch, the network supports a wallet, bridge, and DEX. Developers are already working on projects for Hamster Network.
The network’s beta testing is conducted through the Hamster Boost program. Participants can complete “blockchain verification tasks” to earn bounties and other rewards.
Earlier in February, the Hamster Kombat team announced the start of its second season and a new airdrop.
