Today we have «double» news — the long-awaited Hamster Kombat airdrop, as well as the unique TON network technology that will be used in this process. Let’s start with the latter.
Distribution of massive airdrop is a headache for any project — although for the recipients it is almost always some kind of free bonus, for the organizer it is a significant cost of commissions in the network. Such a giveaway in Ethereum, for example, is quite expensive. TON decided to take a completely different path, in fact, creating a new type of airdrop.
TON Mintless Jettons is a new technology that allows you to instantly distribute tokens to millions of TON blockchain users with minimal fees.
The idea behind Mintless Jetton is to keep the distribution table off the blockchain while allowing the user to receive tokens on their own if they provide proof of being in the table. Such tokens are fully compatible with regular tokens in TON, but the smart contract is only activated the first time the user interacts, which saves a lot of resources.
Tonkeeper already supports Mintless Jetton. But the user must have TON on their balance to apply for airdrop.
So, Hamster Kombat, a popular clicker game, yesterday conducted the largest TGE and airdrop in cryptocurrency history using this technology. In fact, this is the first large-scale “battle test” of this new promising technology. The project published its tokenomics and accrued coins in the app. This long-awaited event has been postponed and rescheduled several times. Now on the pre-market they give $1 for 100 HMSTR.
