Yesterday, $HMSTR from the Hamster Kombat tokenisation game was listed. This means that this token is now traded on exchanges, and recipients of airdrop from the project can sell digital assets in exchange for USDT or other suitable coins. However, to receive HMSTR on the Telegram wallet according to our detailed instructions, there must be at least 0.13 TON needed to pay for the transaction. We show you how to withdraw this cryptocurrency from the exchange to get to your airdrop.

How to get Hamster Coin

As we have already noted, you can get tokens from Hamster Kombat in two ways – on exchanges or your own separate wallet with support for the TON network. The latter are also called non-custodial, because in this case the user is responsible for the safety of their coins, rather than trusting them to an intermediary.

Examples of such wallets are the built-in Wallet in Telegram, Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet and other variants, some of which we have discussed in a separate article. .

Sending tokens to exchanges occurred without paying commissions. However, popular withdrawal platforms like Binance, OKX and Bybit could be specified last week.

Now there is only the option of the little-known EBI platform on the menu.

Of course, making a transaction and withdrawing tokens to your wallet is easier than registering on an exchange. However, newcomers to the world of crypto faced a difficulty that looked like this.

A message about insufficient balance on the Telegram wallet to receive HMSTR token

It says that in order to withdraw HMSTR, the wallet balance must have at least 0.13 TON on it, which will go to pay for conducting the transaction. At today’s Toncoin exchange rate of $6, the amount translates to 78 cents, which is a small amount.

Accordingly, the logic of actions to get aidrop HMSTR to Telegram wallet is as follows:

Buy TON cryptocurrency for USDT stablecoin on a centralised exchange – in our case Binance;
Withdraw the coins to the required wallet;
Go back to the last step in our guide on how to get HMSTR and conduct a transaction to accrue tokens.

Next, users can either send the tokens to an exchange for sale or leave them stored on the wallet in the hope of the crypto asset’s rate growth in the future.

How to withdraw money from Hamster: withdrawing TON from the exchange

Open the exchange you are using and authorise. If you do not use a trading platform, choose a suitable exchange like Binance, KuCoin or ByBit and register there, following the prompts.

Note that major exchanges require personal data verification during the so-called KYC procedure. Therefore, be prepared to show your documents and provide other suitable data. It will also take some time to confirm your account. .

Go to the spot trading tab, i.e. trades with your own funds without leverage. On the Binance exchange it is located in the upper left corner.

Look for TON in the right corner.

Buy TON. The minimum transaction amount on Binance is $5. In addition, since the transaction volume is small, you can use the purchase at the market, that is, at the current rate – not at a set rate, as it happens with limit transactions.

We press the buy button. We have purchased 0.82 TON, which is enough for the operation.

Next, we select “Wallet Overview” in the upper right corner.

Hover over the three dots next to TON and select “Withdrawal”.

Put aside the exchange and go to the Telegram wallet.

For the example, we will use the official Telegram wallet available at the link. Open it and click the “Deposit” button.

Next, choose Toncoin, which will be sent.

In response, we see our address in the TON network – copy it using the button at the bottom.

Return to the interface of the Binance exchange. Paste the copied address, after which the exchange will automatically recognise the TON network.

Specify the amount and ignore the “MEMO” line – it is not needed when sending coins to your own non-custodial wallet. Memo or note tag is required when transferring crypto to an exchange.

Alas, the exchange shows that withdrawal is available for at least 2 TON. We return to the purchase stage and increase the volume of coins. We purchase TON for another $10.

Now there are enough coins – we withdraw them. Moreover, Binance, similar to other exchanges, charges a commission for such operations.

How to send Hamster HMSTR and TON coins to the exchange

After withdrawing HMSTR, you can send them to the exchange for further sale. To do this, we press the “Send” button on the main screen of Telegram Wallet, select an external wallet and choose the token to transfer.

We will do the TON transfer as our HMSTRs are already on the exchange.

Now go back to the exchange and click on the “Deposit” button in the top right corner and then select “Deposit Cryptocurrency”.

We select the cryptocurrency TON and a similar network, after which we generate an address. In response, the exchange will show not only the address, but also the Memo – it is obligatory to specify it when transferring.

If you do not specify the Memo, the sent coins can be considered lost. So do not forget about this point. .

Copy the information into the wallet and conduct the transaction. The wallet shows that we are sending tokens to Binance.

As a result, the coins will get to the exchange, where they can be sold for USDT. However, in our case, the transaction did not take half an hour, which means that there are questions about the performance of the TON network now.

UPD: the transaction has passed after 49 minutes. Therefore, TON is now available on the Binance exchange.

Representatives of the Hamster Kombat project noted that there may be difficulties with the request of coins. Still airdrop got millions of users who overloaded the network. Therefore, if some operation does not pass, try again later.
