Popular play-to-earn telegram game Hamster Kombat is about to make a big step forward. However, with strong support from the community, the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) behind the game pulled back plans to launch a new layer 2 blockchain. The decision was made as a result of a vote of the token holders, proving how much the community trusts the idea.
Layer-2 blockchain is a technology that runs on top of another blockchain like Ethereum or Bitcoin, but it processes faster and cheaper. The platform will be based on the new TON (The Open Network) blockchain, which will allow quicker and cheaper transactions.
Scaling has been a struggle for Hamster Kombat, which is why this is an important move. Over time, the game grew and the platform required a way to scale for more players and transactions that wouldn’t slow or become more expensive as players grew. The team says that with this layer 2 solution, these problems can be solved and players will have a less struggling experience.
The team also announced that they would increase community engagement by offering a $1 million bounty pool for players who participate and support. More details will be shared in weeks coming but development on new blockchain is already underway.

Our DAO has been up and running for a couple of days now, and its first proposal — to hold a series of events for the token holders with $1 million bounty pool — successfully ended several hours ago.

This helps strengthen the power of the holder of tokens and gives more influence in the future of the project.
Many blockchain projects have decided to turn to layer-2 solutions in order to improve their networks. Hamster Kombat’s switch to a free to play business model and its new upgrade puts it in a good place to compete in a rapidly expanding Web3 gaming world. If all goes as planned with the layer-2 blockchain, then this could actually make Hamster Kombat even more successful by hopefully bringing in new players.
Hamster Kombat is now ready to move into a new phase, with the backing of its active community and very exciting opportunities for both the game, and the players themselves.
