Telegram's CEO: Hamster Kombat Mini-Game to Issue Tokens on TON Blockchain

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has announced that Hamster Kombat, a Telegram mini-app, will be issuing tokens on the TON blockchain. The announcement comes a few months after Hamster Kombat attracted 239 million users and surpassed 100 million monthly active users (MAU) in just 73 days. Durov's comments come amid reports that Iranian citizens are turning to Telegram-based games like Hamster Kombat to earn cryptocurrency amid the plummeting value of their national currency. The move to issue tokens on the TON blockchain could further boost the popularity of Hamster Kombat and provide users with a new way to monetize their gameplay. The TON blockchain is a decentralized blockchain platform developed by Telegram. It is designed to be scalable, secure, and user-friendly. The TON blockchain is expected to launch later this year and could play a major role in the development of the Telegram ecosystem. The issuance of tokens on the TON blockchain could also help to attract new users to Hamster Kombat and further increase its popularity. It will be interesting to see how Hamster Kombat develops in the coming months and whether it can maintain its momentum.
