Hamster Kombat, an innovative Web3 gaming platform, has recorded an impressive $5.3 billion trading volume for its HMSTR token as of November 14. This notable financial achievement includes $1.3 billion in daily spot trading and $4 billion in perpetual trading.
However, behind these figures lies a worrying decrease in user engagement.
The decline in token usage and price
Despite the success in trading volume, the platform has seen a drastic drop in its monthly active users, going from 300 million in August to just 41 million in early November, a reduction of 86%. According to data from IntoTheBlock, active addresses on the network fell from more than 700,000 at the end of September to less than 20,000 by November 13.
The HMSTR token price has also reflected this negative trend, declining from a high of $0.01 on September 26 to $0.00241 on November 15. These indicators suggest a decrease in general interest on the part of users.

Resilience in the community
Despite these challenges, the Hamster Kombat community remains optimistic. According to CoinMarketCap, 73% express confidence in the token, while only 27% take a bearish stance. Additionally, the platform has a base of 11 million token holders, humorously compared by the team to “239 Yankee stadiums full of hamsters.”

During Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai, Sasha Plotvinov, co-creator of Notcoin, highlighted the importance of emotional engagement to retain users in Web3 games. At the “Telegram Mini Apps and Games” panel, Plotvinov highlighted that each gaming experience must feel unique to keep players interested.
Conclusion
Hamster Kombat faces an intriguing contrast: while its HMSTR token achieves outstanding financial figures, the platform struggles to regain the attention of its users. With a loyal community and efforts to innovate the gaming experience, the future of this Web3 platform will depend on its ability to balance financial success and user retention.
