The click-to-earn game “Hamster Kombat” on Telegram announced that it will launch its HMSTR token on TON on September 26, with an airdrop to players on the same day. Following the explosive launch of DOGS, another hot project in the TON ecosystem is coming soon. Since its launch this spring, “Hamster Kombat” has attracted over 300 million players, with Telegram data showing over 80 million active players in the past month. In the official announcement, they claim this will be “the largest airdrop in crypto history.” Is another big event on the way?
As a highly anticipated airdrop project, many users have invested significant time and effort into it. Gate.io’s PreMint feature allows users to realize expected airdrop profits in advance and trade freely and flexibly, just like spot trading.

How to Participate in HMSTR PreMint

If you expect an HMSTR airdrop:

1. Click the link https://www.gate.io/pre-market/HMSTR and click “PreMint” to stake USDT and mint HMSTR.
2. Click the PreMint button and select “Go to Trade” to participate in HMSTR pre-market PreToken trading.
   
   If you don’t expect an HMSTR airdrop, simply search for the HMSTR/USDT trading pair. You can profit by “buying low and selling high” with HMSTR.
   

Why Participate in PreMint?

Many users face common challenges:

• Early Airdrop Holders: Users who hold early airdrop tokens from projects and want to realize profits but are forced to wait for the tokens to be listed.
• Optimistic Investors: Users who missed the airdrop but are bullish on the project tokens are eager to trade but find no market available.
  Gate.io’s recently launched PreMint feature for pre-market trading offers innovative solutions to these problems, unlocking a range of new strategies.
  PreMint is a staking and minting mechanism for pre-market trading. It allows users to stake USDT to mint PreToken.
  Unlike traditional staking, PreToken represents tokens that have not yet been listed, essentially serving as a projection of future tokens. The staked USDT acts as collateral, ensuring that once the tokens are in circulation, they will be deposited into the exchange, releasing the staked USDT. Once you have PreToken, you can trade them in the trading market.
  Key Features of PreMint

1. Early Profits: Sellers can set their ideal prices in the PreToken trading market and profit in advance without waiting for project settlement.
2. Flexible Trading: Both buyers and sellers can choose the optimal time to trade PreToken based on market conditions or wait for project settlement, allowing for more flexible trading strategies.
   Start and End Times
3. Start Time: The PreMint entry typically opens 24 hours after the project’s pre-market trading begins. Check the project’s pre-market trading announcement for specific times. The PreToken trading market opens after a certain period following the start of pre-market trading.
4. End Time: The PreMint entry closes 4 hours before the pre-market trading of the project ends. The PreToken trading market closes when the pre-market trading of the project ends.

   Roles in PreMint

   Users participating in PreMint fall into two roles: minting users (token providers) and trading users (token buyers and sellers). Minting users can also be trading users.

• Minting Users: Minting users need to prepare the actual tokens in advance for settlement within the specified period. Ensure you have enough actual tokens in your account before the settlement time. After a successful settlement, the staked USDT will be refunded. If not settled on time, the staked USDT will be forfeited.
• Trading Users: Trading users in the PreToken market can choose to sell PreToken for profit before the market closes or buy and hold PreToken until settlement. After settlement, the system will distribute the actual project tokens and penalty collateral to users holding PreToken.

  Various Strategies

• Strategy 1: Stake USDT to mint HMSTR PreToken ➡️ Sell HMSTR PreToken ➡️ Deposit actual HMSTR tokens ➡️ Redeem USDT
  Analysis: Users holding airdrops can sell in the PreToken trading market to earn profits, achieving risk-free returns and advancing their profit timeline.
• Strategy 2: Stake USDT to mint HMSTR PreToken ➡️ Hold HMSTR PreToken ➡️ Do not deposit actual HMSTR tokens ➡️ Forfeit USDT, receive actual tokens and part of the penalty collateral
  Analysis: This method is like self-minting and self-buying to arbitrage through price differences. You can also choose to sell PreToken in step two to get USDT but will not receive the penalty collateral share.
• Strategy 3: Purchase HMSTR PreToken ➡️ Wait for market settlement ➡️ Receive actual tokens and part of the penalty collateral
  Analysis: This method is suitable for users who are optimistic about the token’s post-listing price. By purchasing PreToken early, they can profit from future market trading.
  Different users can choose different strategies, and many variations of these strategies can be derived.
