TON’s Hamster Kombat Bans 2.3 Million Accounts, Recovers 6.8 Billion Tokens

• Hamster Kombat has banned over 2.3 million cheating accounts, impacting the TON ecosystem.
• 6.8 billion tokens were recovered from cheating accounts, half of which were redistributed to fair players.
• The crackdown aims to maintain fairness in the game and protect long-term players from cheaters.

TON’s Hamster Kombat has taken action against cheaters by banning more than 2.3 million accounts, significantly reshaping the game’s ecosystem. The crackdown led to the recovery of 6.8 billion tokens from dishonest players, a portion of which will be redistributed to honest players, while the rest will be burned. 

The game, which operates within the TON ecosystem, has been battling various forms of cheating since its inception. It focuses on maintaining fairness and rewarding genuine participants.

Many of the banned accounts were linked to suspicious activity flagged by the game’s anti-cheat system. One notable case involved a user connecting over 400 accounts through a single Binance address. Another user was found to have invited nearly 2,000 fake “friends,” all of whom were linked to suspicious behavior. 

The game developers had been monitoring unusual patterns for months leading up to this enforcement, paying close attention to accounts that exhibited coordinated actions, such as logging in simultaneously or performing identical in-game actions repeatedly.

Hamster Kombat’s anti-cheat measures were deployed to ensure fairness for all players and prevent automated systems from exploiting the game’s mechanics. Cheaters, who often use software to manipulate the system, were found selling their in-game tokens in bulk, undermining the game’s integrity. 

With 50% of the recovered tokens redistributed to loyal players and 50% scheduled to be burned, the developers aim to maintain a healthy balance within the game’s economy and protect honest participants.

This move marks an effort by Hamster Kombat to safeguard the TON ecosystem from malicious actors. The initiative not only targets cheating accounts but also demonstrates the game’s commitment to protecting long-term players and market participants.
