We're seeing Hamster Kombat coming this far, players are going from tapping to becoming a rich ceo on the app. Seeing they have millions of active users playing their game, you can really imagine how much hype it would go.
The hype is too much and by now, judging by the claim of over 150 million users about 2/3 months ago, they should have grown to about 250 million users unless they are lying. If this is the case, I guess the participants would be less happy because there wouldn't be enough capital to make them rich, that number is too high for liquidity to go around big.
This is even bigger as if you combine NOT and DOGS hype. Hopefully there won't be any issue with claiming, cos last time with not & dogs, Bybit experienced a huge issue. Later on users changed their deposit to Bitget since it is a reliable cex and had a lot of events surrounding it for TON and dogs.
The larger the project, the bigger the issue, if truly $Dogs and $NOT had issues as you claimed, expect more issues with $HMSTR, which is not limited to denial, technical errors, congestion etc.
Anyways the question is, how can TON blockchain take the load once it's live?
The expected volume is high, maybe it's the reason why TON is upgrading and telling people to restart their nodes. Possibly, they would be wise to think ahead, perhaps issuing it bit by bit to avoid much congestion. This way, it might take time for them to finish issuing the token but will limit issues.
