Launched in early 2024, Catizen has quickly gained popularity among Telegram users by combining tap-to-earn and play-to-earn concepts into a single app.
Gameplay Mechanics
Catizen revolves around managing a virtual cat café. Players start with a basic cat and earn vKITTY, the in-game currency, as visitors interact with the cats. The primary goal is to enhance the café by merging cats to create higher-level ones. Players can also participate in a fishing mini-game, earning extra vKITTY and Fish Coins.
Multi-Token Economy
Catizen’s economy operates on multiple tokens, each with distinct purposes: vKITTY - the primary in-game currency, wCATI - the game’s native cryptocurrency, Fishcoin - to accelerate gameplay and participate in the fishing mini-game, Zen – a rare token for unlocking special features. The $CATI token will be listed for trading on exchanges like Bybit and OKX.
Partnerships and Investments
Catizen's development is supported by organizations such as The Open Platform (TOP), HashKey, and Binance Labs. HashKey provides regulatory and technical support and notes the rapid growth of developers on the TON blockchain as a motivator for their investment. Ben El-Baz of HashKey Global highlights this increase as a signal of a thriving ecosystem.
Catizen aims to integrate artificial intelligence into its gameplay by 2025, enhancing interactions and behaviors of virtual cats, setting it apart from other blockchain-based games.
