Хомяк в крипте🐹

"Hamster in the Crypt" (@crypto_hom4ikk) is a Telegram channel covering airdrop events, early-stage Web3 projects, testnets, and GameFi. The main content revolves around instructions for participating in point farming, earning roles on Discord, and potential token giveaways. The channel actively uses affiliate links, advertisements for proxy services, and referral mechanisms within most of its posts. The main risks are related to aggressive monetization, a large number of removed promotional posts, and content presented with a constant emphasis on potential profits. Content and Format The channel publishes between 5 and 20 posts per month and focuses almost entirely on early-stage crypto projects, testnets, NFT activities, and airdrop campaigns. The main format consists of a short guide with step-by-step instructions, a description of the project’s investors, and a promise of a potential airdrop or profit. The same elements are regularly repeated in the structure of the posts: a brief description of the project and the investment amount; instructions consisting of 3–6 steps; an assessment of the activity’s “potential”; recommendations to use a proxy via affiliate links; links to additional materials or the author’s own older posts. The author focuses on “early entry” into projects with low competition. The posts constantly include phrases such as “early stage,” “small number of participants,” “confirmed airdrop,” and “low competition.” The most frequently mentioned projects are in the areas of L1 blockchains, AI, Solana, GameFi, and Web3 infrastructure. Almost every post also promotes the proxy services NodeMaven or Proxy-Seller. Moreover, the advertising is embedded directly into the structure of the posts rather than presented separately. This turns even ordinary instructions for airdrop activities into a tool for promoting affiliate products. The tone is emotional and focused on motivating the audience. The author frequently emphasizes potential profits, “generous airdrops,” low competition, and the simplicity of the tasks. At the same time, there is virtually no in-depth analysis of tokenomics, project economics, or technical aspects. The channel functions more as a stream of quick activities for constant participation rather than as an analytical resource. Important! The channel regularly features recommendations to use additional accounts, proxies, and mass task completion. For beginners, this can create the false impression that such schemes are guaranteed to lead to profits, even though most of these activities do not yield predictable results. Monetization and Business Model The primary monetization model is based on affiliate links and advertising for crypto-related services. Virtually every post contains promo codes, referral links, or calls to use specific platforms. The most commonly promoted are: proxy services for mass account registration; crypto wallets and exchanges; Telegram bots; private channels; gaming and gambling projects. The channel pays special attention to promoting its own VIP channels and private communities. However, some of these posts are later deleted. The ads regularly use phrases such as “deposit recovery,” “stable income,” or “easy payouts.” There is also hidden monetization through the constant promotion of infrastructure for “account farms.” For example, almost all activities are accompanied by recommendations to use proxies, separate wallets, and additional accounts. The content’s reliance on affiliate integrations is noticeable. Some posts appear more like advertisements tailored to current market trends than an independent selection of projects. Reputation, Risks, and Key Features The channel has changed its name several times and experienced two sharp spikes in audience growth to 20,000 subscribers, after which a prolonged decline began without any attempts to rebuild the audience. Currently, the channel has approximately 6,600 subscribers with an engagement rate of about 17%. Many posts have been deleted, with promotional posts, invitations to VIP communities, or aggressive offers promising earnings disappearing most frequently. This creates the impression of an inconsistent content policy and makes it difficult to assess the actual volume of advertising. Comments are open, but audience activity is low. Most posts receive only a few comments, and advertising bots are found among the most recent comments. The channel is linked to a large network of other Telegram resources—approximately 130 related channels have been identified through contacts and overlaps. This is typical of channel networks that engage in mutual promotion and audience acquisition. Warning! Some promotional posts use emotional triggers: the fear of missing out on profits, promises of quick recovery from losses, or an emphasis on “easy money.” This approach increases the risk of subscribers making impulsive decisions. Conclusion “Hamster in the Crypto” is a typical Telegram channel focused on airdrop hunting, early Web3 activities, and mass farming of crypto projects. It’s a good fit for an audience that’s constantly on the lookout for new testnets and is willing to regularly participate in dozens of activities for the sake of potential airdrops.
