As user engagement plummets for Hamster Kombat, the leading tap-to-earn game on Telegram, the newly launched Paws Mini App, has seen a meteoric rise in popularity.
Once boasting 300 million users in August, Hamster Kombat has experienced an 86% drop in its active monthly players, falling to just 41 million as of Nov. 5.
Data from IntoTheBlock (ITB) indicates that active addresses for Hamster Kombat peaked at approximately 772,330 on Sept. 27. However, user activity has since declined by more than 36% in the past week, reflecting a broader trend of diminishing interest.
This decline is echoed in the token market, where the HMSTR token price has plummeted nearly 70% from an all-time high of $0.01 on Sept. 26, now trading around $0.0022.
Conversely, Paws has rapidly attracted users, reaching 20.5 million within its first eight days. A recent announcement from the Paws Telegram channel highlighted that over 10 million wallets have connected to the app, alongside one million followers on the project’s X account.
The changing landscape has raised concerns for Hamster Kombat, particularly following criticism from Iranian officials and unfounded rumors of bans in Uzbekistan.
Despite the challenges, the total number of addresses holding the HMSTR token has increased, hitting a 30-day high of 3.5 million holders as of Nov. 4.
In comparison, other Telegram games, such as the Dogs (DOGS) token, have also seen a decline in user activity and token value, with the AAR chart showing a low of 0.27% active users on Nov. 3.
