After promising the airdrop for May 20, 2025, Bombie’s BOMB token launch is getting closer following several delays. Now, some players can check their allocation, whilst others are unable to access the page.
In addition, there’s still no word on the token generation event (TGE) despite major exchange listings. It marks yet another marred airdrop rollout from Telegram’s ecosystem that has left players frustrated.
However, its sequel, CapyBomb, has already amassed over 500,000 users, which may indicate that play-to-earn (P2E) fatigue hasn’t settled in yet.
After a difficult period for Bombie players, the BOMB token airdrop is supposedly here as the team just announced that the claim page has gone live.
As per the post, players can supposedly check their BOMB allocation within the app. However, many players are reporting that the page doesn’t work, or are disappointed with the allocation they’ve received.
According to Bombie, players will be able to pre-deposit BOMB to centralized exchanges on June 12, 2025. Today, ByBit, MEXC, and KuCoin announced they would be listing the BOMB token.
On the unconfirmed TGE date, players will be able to withdraw tokens to their on-chain wallet.
There’s also a reminder that BOMB staking is now available in the Bombie sequel, CapyBomb, although this feature is currently under maintenance.
The reaction is mixed. As some players rejoice over the long-delayed airdrop, making some progress with centralized exchange listings confirmed, others view it as too little, too late – marking yet another blundered Telegram airdrop rollout.
Despite previously confirming a May 20 airdrop, the Bombie team has delivered everything except the BOMB token itself.
In the early hours today, Bombie announced on X that the snapshot had been completed and players could now claim their BOMB allocation through the Catizen App Center.
However, there was no mention of a TGE or any exchange listing details.
Inside the App Center’s airdrop section, the so-called BOMB allocation appears to be split across three games. Players are now able to claim:
Even high-level Bombie players report receiving only a few dollars’ worth of CATI, and a surprisingly small amount of BOMBIE, especially when compared to the volume they earned through regular gameplay.
Following the snapshot, Bombie pushed an in-game alert telling players that BOMBIE will no longer be generated and urging them to claim any remaining rewards.
It’s another letdown for players, marking the third major airdrop stumble in Telegram’s play-to-earn ecosystem, following similar issues with Hamster Kombat and Catizen.
Just hours after announcing the airdrop was live, the Bombie team released a full TGE roadmap, leaving many players confused and frustrated.
The newly published plan outlines a five-stage process for the BOMB token. With the snapshot now complete, the next phase is the launch of CapyBomb, a sequel to Bombie that’s now playable on Telegram.
After that comes “Stake & Earn,” tied to CapyBomb’s in-game BOMB staking feature. Players are told they’ll be able to unlock better items and possibly earn yield by staking their unreleased tokens.
Stage four implies users will be able to deposit earnings to a centralized exchange, despite the token not yet being live or available in wallets. Finally, step five reads simply: “TGE & Trade.”
The roadmap has raised serious questions: How can users deposit and earn with a token that hasn’t officially launched? And why was this roadmap published only after players claimed their fragmented rewards?
For now, players who’ve invested time, and in many cases, money, into Bombie are left with little choice but to wait and hope the token generation event actually materializes.
