Meanwhile, in the realm of Telegram-based mobile games, Hamster Kombat and Catizen are also making waves. Hamster Kombat, a tap-to-earn game that went viral on Telegram, confirmed that its total token supply will reach 100 billion. 

Along with this announcement, it was revealed that billions of tokens will be distributed to customers of the Binance crypto exchange who participate in the Launchpool rewards campaign.

Customers in legally permitted countries (sadly, the US is excluded) will be able to stake Binance Coin (BNB) and the FDUSD stablecoin in a week-long rewards campaign to earn a share of HMSTR tokens. 

The campaign will run from September 19 to September 26, coinciding with the token launch date on The Open Network (TON).

The following day, Telegram game Catizen also confirmed similar plans. They will give away 90 million tokens (out of a total supply of 1 billion CATI) in the Binance Launchpool campaign that will run from September 16-19. 

On Saturday, Catizen also revealed airdrop allocations for players and gave them the option to send the tokens to centralized exchange accounts once the tokens were created on September 20.
