Background Introduction

During Token 2049, the CEO of Telegram once again elaborated on the grand vision of the TON ecosystem to global Web3 users. Starting from the late night of the 26th, Telegram's servers around the world have been subjected to targeted attacks, indicating that the promotion of Telegram x TON has been seen by both Web2 and Web3 as having unlimited potential, making TON, born with a golden key, the target of public criticism. After a wave of promotion, the price of TON experienced a fluctuation after a surge.

However, from the perspective of retail investors, the valuation of TON is at a relatively high position, the chip structure is unclear, and the development language is different from other mainstream Web3 codes, which has increased the threshold for ecological development. Therefore, retail investors have been in a dilemma about whether to buy TON. However, while everyone's attention is still focused on the relationship between TON and Telegram, some leading projects in the industry have also experienced exponential growth along with the TON ecosystem.

Catizen

During the TON Hong Kong Summit and Token2049, Catizen, as the showcase project of TON, has become the leader in the current Gamefi Bot track of the TON ecosystem.

Catizen is the second Telegram Bot product under Pluto Studio. Pluto, as a studio focusing on the distribution of Web 3.0 mini-games, began laying out its presence in the Telegram x TON blockchain ecosystem a year ago. As an early development team and co-builder in the ecosystem, the Pluto team has received multiple supports from the TON Foundation in terms of economy and resources. In August 2023, the team launched its first Telegram Bot-based mini-game mini APP in the TON ecosystem—Tap Fantasy, a large-scale anime MMORPG game, which currently has a global user base of 730,000.

Catizen is a brand-new mini-game center platform created by Pluto Studio based on the experience of incubating the TON ecosystem GameFi project Tap Fantasy. The project team has optimized the relevant processes based on the experience of developing Tap Fantasy, giving Catizen a more complete economic model and a better community user experience. Since the beta version was launched on March 19, 2024, Catizen has quickly surpassed Tap Fantasy to become one of the most popular GameFi mini-programs in the Telegram x TON ecosystem, attracting over 1 million players, with over 80,000 on-chain users and over 1 million on-chain transactions. As of April 27, the number of Catizen players has exceeded 3 million, approaching 4 million, and the on-chain users have reached 260,000, making it one of the fastest-growing projects in the Web3.0 gaming ecosystem.

Current Situation and Future, LaunchPool Launch

According to the official announcement of Catizen, the development of the Catizen project has passed the first phase of user expansion, with 10% of players in the game becoming TON wallet users, and over 50% of users becoming paying players!

Currently, Catizen is preparing to launch the second phase - LaunchPool. Players will earn in-game points $wCATI by staking game assets. On the evening of April 27, Beijing time, Catizen updated the Launchpool function. Players can participate in mining $wCATI by staking Fish Coins or Cats, with 60% of the pool airdropped to Cat staking players and 40% to Fish Coin staking players; the total release of $wCATI for this period is 840 million.

Eligibility for Launchpool Participation

To ensure fairness, prevent witch attacks, and prevent scientists from creating multiple accounts to share loyal players' earnings, participation thresholds have been set for participating in the Launchpool mining.

• The participation threshold for the Fish Coin pool (40%) is to stake at least 1,000 Fish Coins or more. Players can earn Fish Coins through completing beginner tasks, inviting friends, and other methods.

• The participation threshold for the Cat pool (60%) is that players need to have a Cat level of at least 110 to participate, and the higher the level, the higher the point rewards.

It is worth noting that Catizen has deployed multi-chain Bots on TON and Mantle. As confirmed by the project team, the rankings of TON and Mantle will be integrated, and players from both ecosystems can participate in Launchpool mining.

Six hours after the launch of Catizen Launchpool, the number of Cat staking players reached 11,405, and the number of Fish Coin staking players reached 55,627, with a total of 435,761,788 Fish Coins staked.

Future Prospects of Catizen

According to the announcement, the third phase plan for Catizen is to transform Catizen into a Telegram gaming platform. Currently, the Catizen team has signed contracts with 18 popular WeChat mini-games and will gradually launch them on the Catizen gaming platform, utilizing the team's valuable experience in blockchain transformation and rich experience in deploying on the TON ecosystem. Therefore, Catizen will break through its own position as a Gaming Bot and move towards the third phase of its project development, the game Launchpool, empowering all loyal Catizen players and holders of its governance tokens.
