Hamster Boost Network Test

"There are 65,000 TON waiting for you and other testers." That is how the Hamster Boost description begins. This is not an ordinary tap game: the app invites you to stress test the Hamster Network blockchain, and it promises rewards from a prize pool for activity. 🐹

Let's see what is going on here, which steps you need to take and where the risks hide in stories like this.

What is actually being tested

Hamster Network is a layer 2 network built on TON. Such networks exist to take pressure off the main blockchain: transactions go faster and cost less, while final data gets recorded in the main chain.

To find out whether a network can handle heavy load, you need many people doing something at once. Participants play that role: they open the mini app and tap the hamster on schedule.

How a test runs

Every tap becomes a transaction. When thousands of people play at once, it works as a load test, and the team checks the network speed from the results. The project channel reported that the second test reached 3,000 transactions per second.

1. Open the mini app and connect a TON or Hamster Network wallet.
2. Wait for the test time announced by the team.
3. Tap the hamster during the given time window.
4. Follow the results in the project's official channel.

What about the rewards

Prizes for the tests are denominated in TON. Quest rewards are credited inside Hamster Network, so they do not land in a regular wallet at once. To withdraw them you need to follow a transfer guide.

Each participant's share depends on the number of players and the rules of a specific quest. The more people join, the less each one gets, so do not count on a large sum in advance. 💰

What tends to happen with such projects

Test networks and reward minigames live by their own rules. Terms can change, dates can slip, and withdrawal conditions can be clarified after launch.

• Quest terms change: read the announcements before taking part.
• Access can be limited: sometimes only selected players are let in at first.
• Withdrawal needs action: you may have to move tokens between networks.
• Token prices swing: a reward in tokens is not a fixed sum.

Keeping your wallet safe

Connecting a wallet to an app is always an act of trust. It is better to create a separate wallet just for such experiments and keep a small amount on it.

Never send a seed phrase to anyone, even if "support" asks for it to release a prize. No honest project needs that data. ⚠️

Who may find it interesting

Hamster Boost suits people who follow new TON technology and want to join a network test. If you want to understand how layer 2 networks work, it is a good reason to try it in practice.

Still, treat taking part as an experiment, not as a way to earn. A reward is possible, but there are no guarantees. 🧪
