Here is how to buy Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) in India and how to sell it again. HMSTR is the token that came out of the Hamster Kombat Telegram game, and you can trade it against INR on Mudrex. If you only want to sell Hamster Kombat coin, jump to the sell section below.
Season 1 of the game ended on September 26, 2024, when HMSTR began trading, and the token has lost most of its early value since. This guide sticks to the practical side: buying, selling, fees and wallets. For the legitimacy question, read our Hamster Kombat fact check; for forecasts, see our Hamster Kombat price prediction guide.
A buy is a Spot order paid in rupees, so the whole job is getting verified, funding your INR balance, and placing one order. Here is the tap path:
Account: Sign up on the Mudrex app, enter the OTPs sent to your phone and email, finish KYC with PAN and Aadhaar, and link a bank account in your name.
Funds: In the Mudrex app, open Add INR, key in the rupee amount, proceed to payment and complete it by UPI app or NEFT transfer.
Order: On Mudrex, search for HMSTR (Hamster Kombat) and press Buy. Pick the One-time or Recurring tab, key in the rupee amount, and continue to the review screen.
Check: Open Portfolio in the Mudrex app and look for your HMSTR balance.
HMSTR price in INR: about ₹0.0145 on Mudrex in October 2026. Check the live rate on the HMSTR page or the HMSTR/INR converter.
At about ₹0.0145 per token, ₹1,000 buys roughly 68,966 HMSTR before fees. Because one HMSTR costs a fraction of a rupee, you will always deal in thousands of tokens, so read the quantity on the order screen. HMSTR is volatile, so only buy what you can afford to lose.
How to Sell HMSTR in India
Selling is a separate flow from buying, and where it starts depends on where your tokens are. If you bought HMSTR on Mudrex, it is already in your portfolio. If your HMSTR sits in an outside TON wallet, you first deposit it into your account.
If you hold HMSTR on Mudrex: open Coins, search HMSTR, tap Sell, enter an amount or choose Sell All, review the order, and tap Sell again.
If your HMSTR is in another wallet: open the HMSTR deposit option, copy the address and the network shown, then send from your TON wallet. If the screen shows a memo or comment field, copy that too. Once the deposit lands in your portfolio, follow the sell steps above.
A sale gives you INR funds, not an instant bank credit. After the sale, the rupees wait in your INR balance. To get them into your bank, withdraw to the account you linked, and make sure it carries your name. INR withdrawals are free, but the sale carries the Spot fee, GST on that fee and 1% TDS.
Here is a worked example for selling 100,000 HMSTR at about ₹0.0145:
Line
Amount
Sale value
₹1,450.00
Base-tier Spot fee (0.45%)
₹6.53
GST on the fee (18%)
₹1.17
TDS (about 1% of the sale)
₹14.50
Approx. INR credited
₹1,427.80
Gains on a sale are taxed at 30%, so keep a record of what you paid (see the crypto tax rules). Start from our sell page.
Where to Buy and Sell HMSTR in India
HMSTR trades on several global exchanges, and OKX opened HMSTR/USDT spot trading on September 26, 2024. Those markets quote in USDT, so an Indian buyer would first need a route from rupees to USDT. On Mudrex, HMSTR trades directly against INR, so you skip that extra step. Three routes exist, and they differ in rupees, rules, and risk.
1. Buying HMSTR from a Centralized Cryptocurrency Exchange
A crypto exchange with an INR market is the simplest route. Look for an FIU-registered platform that takes rupees from your own bank account and lets you sell back to it. We covered the full buy and sell flows on Mudrex above.
Sign up using your phone number and email address.
Verify both using the OTPs sent to you.
Complete the KYC process to activate your account.
Step 2: Add Funds in INR
Open the app and tap on “Add INR.”
Enter the amount you’d like to add.
Tap on “Continue to Pay.”
Choose your preferred payment method (UPI or NEFT/RTGS).
Complete the transaction.
The added amount will reflect in your INR balance.
Step 3: Buy HMSTR
Tap on the search bar and type HMSTR.
Select the token and tap “Buy.”
Choose “One-time” for a single purchase or “Recurring” to set up a SIP.
Enter the amount you want to invest (in INR).
Tap “Continue” and complete the transaction.
The equivalent amount of HMSTR will be added to your portfolio.
How to Sell HMSTR Using Mudrex?
Selling your HMSTR tokens on Mudrex is very straightforward.
Click on the “Coins” option at the bottom of the Mudrex App.
Search for HMSTR using the search bar and click on HMSTR.
Click on the “SELL” option at the bottom left of the screen.
Enter the amount of tokens you wish to sell. You can even sell all of your HMSTR coins by choosing “Sell All.” Complete the transaction by clicking the “Sell” option again.
2. Buying HMSTR through P2P Networks
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks facilitate direct HMSTR transactions between buyers and sellers, eliminating the need for a centralized exchange. Some global platforms run peer-to-peer marketplaces, where you pay another user directly.
To buy HMSTR through P2P, create an account, verify your identity, and browse seller listings. Choose a seller, agree on terms, and initiate the trade. Complete the payment, and the platform releases the HMSTR to your wallet once the seller confirms payment.
P2P gives you flexible payment options, but you carry the counterparty risk, and your bank can flag or freeze payments from unfamiliar accounts. If you use it, pick sellers with a long, verified history and keep every payment inside the platform’s escrow. A registered INR platform has a clear bank trail, which is why it is the safer default.
PROS
CONS
Flexibility in payment methods
Higher risk of scams or fraud
Potential for better prices
Less regulatory oversight
3. Buying HMSTR through Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are blockchain-based platforms that allow users to trade cryptocurrencies directly from their wallets without relying on a central authority or intermediary. HMSTR lives on the TON blockchain, so a DEX route means a TON wallet and a TON-based DEX, not an Ethereum one like Uniswap.
Pros of buying HMSTR on a DEX
Cons of buying HMSTR on a DEX
You keep control of your own wallet
Can be complex for beginners
Trades settle on-chain, so you can check them on a block explorer
Game, App or Token? Sorting Out the Hamster Searches
Hamster Kombat the game and HMSTR the token are two different things. The game runs inside Telegram and pays out in-game coins, while HMSTR is the token that trades on exchanges. Apps called Hamster Miner are separate tap-and-collect simulators and do not mine or pay out HMSTR.
We could not find an official Hamster Kombat or Mudrex product called Easy Tradebones. We also could not verify any official trading bot, and third-party auto-clickers and farm bots have been used to spread malware, as ESET’s research and The Record report. Our legitimacy fact check has the full verification checklist.

You can buy HMSTR from ₹100, or set a SIP with daily, weekly, or monthly buys from ₹100.
HMSTR is a token on The Open Network (TON), so deposits and withdrawals use the TON network. A TON address will not work on Ethereum-style networks, so never paste an 0x address.
Compare the token contract with a trusted data site before you trade, as our legitimacy guide explains. Send a small test first, because transfers cannot be reversed.

About Hamster Kombat
Hamster Kombat is an innovative and engaging Telegram-based game that has rapidly gained popularity since its launch in March 2024. It combines gaming elements with cryptocurrency, allowing players to earn in-game currency while managing a virtual crypto exchange. The project has said that more than 300 million people have joined, though that figure is hard to verify independently.
In Hamster Kombat, players take on the role of a hamster CEO who manages a virtual cryptocurrency exchange. The primary gameplay mechanic involves tapping a digital hamster avatar to earn in-game coins. Those coins were not HMSTR tokens, but they counted toward the Season 1 airdrop that paid out HMSTR on September 26, 2024. This simple yet addictive tap-to-earn model allows players to accumulate coins that can be used for various upgrades and enhancements within the game.
Tapping to Earn: Players earn Hamster coins by tapping on their hamster avatars. Each tap contributes to the player’s overall coin balance, which can be used in the game for upgrades.
Upgrading the Exchange: As players collect coins, they can invest them in upgrading their virtual exchange. These upgrades may include adding new trading pairs, acquiring licenses, and enhancing marketing efforts, ultimately increasing passive income generation.
Key Features
Tap-to-earn: tap to collect in-game coins.
Upgrades: buy upgrades that raise passive earnings.
Daily tasks: the Daily Cipher and Daily Combo give extra coins.
Mini-games: short games that earn coins or keys.
Referrals: inviting friends earns bonus coins.
Community Engagement
Hamster Kombat has cultivated a massive player base, which the project says exceeded 300 million users within months of launch. The game’s success is attributed to its engaging gameplay and its strong community presence on platforms like Telegram and YouTube, where it has garnered millions of followers.
HMSTR has a total supply of 100 billion tokens, with 60% allocated to players through the Season 1 airdrop on September 26, 2024.
Tips to Mitigate Risks in This Investment
Research Thoroughly: Stay updated on market trends and project developments related to Hamster Kombat.
Diversify Investments: Avoid putting all your funds into one asset; consider diversifying across different cryptocurrencies.
Use Secure Wallets: Always store your tokens in reputable wallets and ensure they are linked securely to your trading platforms.
Set Realistic Expectations: HMSTR has lost most of its early value, so expect volatility rather than quick gains.
Verify Before You Send: Match the token contract and the TON network before you deposit or sell HMSTR.
Conclusion
Buying HMSTR in India is a Spot order paid in rupees, and selling it is a separate flow that ends with INR in your bank account. Buy from a funded INR balance and read the order screen first. To sell, use your portfolio, or deposit tokens from your TON wallet first, then withdraw the rupees after TDS and fees.
HMSTR trades at a fraction of a rupee and has lost most of its early value, so only trade what you can afford to lose and do your own research. When you are ready, download the Mudrex app for Android or iOS to buy or sell HMSTR in INR, and watch the Mudrex YouTube channel for more guides.
