Web3 game Hamster Kombat plans to “re-engage” with its season one participants and attract new users despite a recent drop in monthly active users (MAU).&nbsp;
While the popular Telegram clicker game broke records and reached 300 million users in August, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hamster-kombat-decline-telegram-game-competition-rise-of-paws" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">the hype has since cooled</a>, leaving the game with about 30 million MAUs. Still, a spokesperson for Hamster Kombat told Cointelegraph that the drop aligns with their expectations.&nbsp;
The Hamster Kombat team said interest rises and falls but will grow again with any project. “Since our project has seasons, this is expected. We’re currently in the interlude period, preparing to launch the second season,” the spokesperson said. “Even during this mid-season phase, our MAU metric remains above 30 million, showing sustained interest.”&nbsp;
The spokesperson added that the team is “planning to re-engage” with season one participants while trying to attract new players.&nbsp;<iframe width="100%" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NoUfrYD6M7k" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

On Nov. 14, Hamster Kombat reported a $1.3 billion daily spot volume and $4 billion perpetual trading volume for its Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) token. It also <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hamster-kombat-5-billion-volume-11-million-holders" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">reported 11 million</a> tokenholders. The spokesperson told Cointelegraph:&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “We now have over 11 million tokenholders, allowing us to compete with the top blockchains. We plan to increase the number of holders and enter new markets.”
</blockquote>
The team said it has retained a “core group” of players of about 30 million, who are actively engaged even after the first airdrop. “That’s more than the entire community of many other projects even before their airdrops,” the spokesperson said.&nbsp;
Hamster Kombat expects its audience to grow further as new activities are planned for the future.

In addition, Blum, a hybrid exchange offering features of both centralized and decentralized exchanges, is emerging as a leading Mini App. Blum also includes a clicker game allowing users to earn points convertible into an airdrop token.
Another app, Major, has risen to the top of the Telegram Mini App rankings with 34.9 million MAUs. Major allows users to complete tasks and earn cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;
