Telegram is the hub of mini-app airdrop bots, powered by the TON blockchain, which attracts millions of users to mine future redeemable tokens. Notably, it has become a competitive space between airdrop projects with rival features and target audiences, most recently between Hamster Kombat and Paws.

Hamster Kombat ($HMSTR) reigned as Telegram’s top mini-app airdrop for some time. However, the project has witnessed a significant downturn in $HMSTR value, app engagement, active users and other metrics.

Notably, Hamster Kombat’s decline followed its unfavourable first airdrop event. This was a downpoint as the project had garnered much buzz on social media and followership since its inception.

Unlike Hamster Kombat, Paws, a new airdrop project launched recently on Telegram is recording a steep growth curve in all the metrics.

Analysis of the Hamster Kombat Steep Downturn

IntoTheBlock analysed the project’s daily active addresses, total addresses, adoption rates, etc. Markedly, all the metrics highlight a steady decline.

According to the analysis, Hamster Kombat records a 37% dip in new addresses and a 37% decline in active addresses on the network, over the past 7 days. Meanwhile, Zero Balance Addresses (ZBA) on the Hamster Kombat network fell by 41% in the last 7 days.

In addition, the value of $HMSTR aligns with the general decline of the other metrics. It is currently valued at $0.0022 against an all-time high of $0.01 in September 2024 (marking over 65% dip in less than 2 months).

Currently, the project faces criticism on social media, while it prepares for its next airdrop.

Paws Telegram Airdrop: Astronomical Growth

In contrast, Paws has recorded steep growth since its launch on the TON blockchain. As outlined by a popular X crypto influencer, Viktor, “PAWS is one of the fastest growing Telegram MiniApps ever, they surpassed 11M users in just 2 days & currently have 20,5M users after being live for only 8 days.“
