Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has officially endorsed the popular clicker game Hamster Kombat, confirming that its token will soon be launched on The Open Network (TON) blockchain. While an exact release date or token ticker was not specified, the announcement signals a major development for the rapidly growing application.

Durov highlighted the game’s explosive growth, noting that it has attracted 239 million users in just three months. He pointed to its daily acquisition rate of four to five million new users as evidence of it being the fastest-growing digital service in the world. According to Durov, the game is the “latest Internet phenomenon” and leads a “new wave of mini apps” within the Telegram messenger, showcasing the platform’s viral potential.

He stated that the Hamster Kombat team will mint its token on TON, a move he believes will introduce the benefits of blockchain technology to hundreds of millions of people. Durov described this as the arrival of a “new era” that is unfolding in real time.

The integration will involve the Hamster Kombat team using the TON blockchain for token generation and distribution. Furthermore, TON wallets are set to be integrated directly into the gaming platform, which is expected to provide additional utility for Toncoin.
