Catizen: A token in the evolving Ton Ecosystem

Catizen is an innovative cat-themed game that integrates GameFi, AI, and the Metaverse, creating a highly immersive interactive experience by combining the charm of virtual pets with cutting-edge blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. Launched in March 2024, Catizen is also a Web3.0 social entertainment platform on Telegram, designed to offer a decentralized app that includes mini-games, short dramas, and e-commerce. The game quickly gained popularity, reaching over 10 million downloads within just 10 weeks and achieving 2 million daily active users and 400,000 paying users.

Catizen’s gameplay is described as a “tap to earn” model, similar to other popular games on Telegram, allowing players to earn rewards through simple screen interactions. The game features a visual style that resembles a blend of Pokémon and Hello Kitty, offering a unique and charming aesthetic. With both free and paid versions available, Catizen boasts that over 50% of its user base consists of paid users.

The project is part of the growing trend of blockchain-based games on Telegram, following the success of NOTcoin on the TON blockchain. Catizen has garnered significant attention with over 25 million users, backed by substantial funding of $6.2 million USD from notable investors, including major exchanges, Mask Network, Mirana Ventures, and other venture capital firms. The Play2Airdrop model contributes to high user retention by combining entertainment with airdrop incentives.

Catizen’s engaging concept and impressive metrics make it a promising opportunity. Key features of the platform include high-speed downloads, a data analysis platform for informed decision-making, and high performance across all components. Educational mini-games help users learn about cryptocurrency and Web3, while built-in crypto wallet integration facilitates easy management of digital assets. The incentive system, staking mechanism, social boost for mining efficiency, decentralized launchpool, and Telegram trading bot all contribute to a robust and interactive user experience. Future plans include evolving the Game Center into a broader App Centre and integrating e-commerce features. CATI is currently live on the Bitget pre-market and will soon be available for spot trading on bitget too.
