🌽 Ton Network Crashes and the DOGS Craze: What Went Down and What’s Next With Hamster Kombat Listing

Alright, fam, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what’s been happening with TON lately. If you’ve been in the game, you’ve probably noticed that TON'S been taking a few hits. The network’s been going down more than a few times recently, and it ain’t just random bad luck—it's because of the DOGS token distribution frenzy from the tap game DOGS.

So here’s the scoop. TON, which we all know has been the backbone for a lot of our crypto moves, started getting slammed with an insane number of transactions. Why? All those DOGS tokens people earned from the tap game DOGS were being distributed like crazy. Everyone and their grandma was trying to get their hands on their tokens at the same time, and the network just couldn’t handle the heat.

I was right there, trying to claim my DOGS tokens, and let me tell you—it was like trying to get into a sold-out concert with a fake ticket. The network was lagging, transactions were failing left and right, and I was sweating bullets, thinking I might lose out on the tokens I’d worked so hard to earn.

But here’s where things get interesting. While everyone’s been focused on DOGS, there’s another heavy hitter on the way—Hamster Kombat. Mark your calendars, because the token from Hamster Kombat is set to list on the 26th of September. And if you think the DOGS craze was big, wait until this one drops.

Get Ready: How to Prepare for Hamster Kombat Listing

If you’re not already set up on OKX, now’s the time to get your act together. Here’s what you need to do:

• Sign Up on OKX: Don’t wait until the last minute. Get your account ready now so you’re not scrambling when the listing goes live.

• Get Verified: Make sure you’ve got your KYC sorted. No verification, no action—that’s the rule.

• Load Up Your Wallet: Have some funds ready to move. Whether you’re planning to buy in on day one or wait for a dip, you’ll want to be locked and loaded.

Trust me, you don’t want to be left out when Hamster Kombat hits the scene. If TON taught us anything, it’s that things can get crazy fast. But with Hamster Kombat listing on OKX on the horizon, we’ve got a chance to make some serious moves.

Wake up, it's time to farm🌽

A year in two, but nah, TVL didn’t 2x.

TON Foundation played it slick, but still missed hitting that $1B TVL target through all five seasons of the Open League. Then Durov’s arrest threw a wrench in things. So, what did they do? They dropped a liquid staking booster program to pump things up.

Now, why’s it a bit shady? It’s all a numbers game. You drop your TON into liquid staking (UPD: some folks in the comments say it doesn’t count), that’s one count for TVL. Then you take those staked tokens and pair 'em with USDT in the pool, and bam, that’s counted too. Double dipping, basically.

I’m also wondering how they’re testing the market—are people biting? They first ran the boosts for a week, then trimmed it to 48 hours. What’s the game plan? Why not stretch those boosts until Season 6 of the Open League kicks off? Feels like they're making moves you can’t bank on long-term.

Is TON really chasing that $1B mark by November, no matter what? Maybe Durov’s got some serious KPIs lined up ahead of Telegram’s IPO.
