Background
During Token 2049, Telegram's CEO once again explained the great vision of TON ecosystem to global Web3 users. Since late at night on the 26th, Telegram's servers around the world have been attacked one after another. It can be seen that in this wave of publicity, both Web2 and Web3 have seen the unlimited potential of Telegram x TON, making TON, which was born with a golden key, the target of public criticism. TON's coin price also fluctuated and fell back after a wave of highs.
However, from the perspective of retail investors, TON's valuation is currently at a high level, the chip structure is unclear, and the development language is different from other mainstream Web3 codes, which increases the threshold for ecological development. Therefore, retail investors have been in a state of entanglement over whether to buy TON. However, while everyone's attention is still on the origin of TON and Telegram, the performance of some leading projects in the field has also soared exponentially along with the TON ecosystem.
Catizen
It was used as a ShowCase project in TON's official presentations during the TON Hong Kong Wanxiang Conference and Token2049, and has become the leader in the current Gamefi Bot track of the TON ecosystem.
Catizen is a Telegram Bot product of Pluto Studio. Pluto, as a studio focusing on the release of Web 3.0 mini games, began to lay out in the Telegram x TON blockchain ecosystem as early as a year ago. As an early development team and co-builder in the ecosystem, the Pluto team has received multiple financial and resource support from the TON Foundation.
Since the Beta version was launched on March 19, 2024, Catizen has quickly become one of the most popular GameFi mini-programs in the Telegram x TON ecosystem, attracting more than 1 million players, more than 80,000 on-chain users, and more than 1 million on-chain transactions. As of April 27, the number of Catizen players exceeded 3 million, approaching 4 million, and the number of on-chain users reached 260,000, making it one of the fastest growing projects in the Web3.0 ecosystem game users.
Current status and future, LaunchPool is online
According to the official announcement of Catizen, the current Catizen project has passed the first stage of user expansion. 10% of the players in the game have become TON wallet users, and more than 50% of users have become paying players!
Currently, Catizen is preparing to launch the second phase - LaunchPool. Players will obtain in-game points $wCATI by staking game assets. At 9:00 pm Beijing time on April 27, Catizen updated the Launchpool function. Players can participate in the mining of $wCATI by staking fish coins or cats. 60% of the airdrop distribution of the mining pool will be allocated to cat staking players and 40% to fish coin staking players; the total release of $wCATI in this period is 840 million.
Launchpool Participation Eligibility
In order to ensure fairness and justice, prevent witch attacks and scientists from opening multiple accounts to share the profits of loyal players, a threshold for participating in Launchpool mining has been set.
The participation threshold of the Fish Coin Pool (40%) is to pledge at least 1,000 Fish Coins to participate. Players can obtain Fish Coins by completing novice tasks, inviting friends, and other methods.
The participation threshold for the cat pool (60%) is that cats must be at least level 110 to participate. The higher the level, the higher the points reward.
It is worth reminding that Catizen has currently deployed multi-chain Bots on TON and Mantle. The project party has confirmed that the rankings of TON and Mantle will be integrated, and players from both ecosystems can participate in Launchpool for mining.
Six hours after Catizen Launchpool went online, the number of cat staking players reached 11,405, the number of fish coin staking players reached 55,627, and the total number of fish coins pledged reached 435,761,788.
Catizen Future Outlook
According to the announcement, Catizen's third phase plan is to transform Catizen into a Telegram gaming platform. Currently, the Catizen team has signed contracts with 18 popular WeChat mini-games, and will use the team's valuable experience in chain reform and rich experience in TON ecosystem deployment to gradually launch them on the Catizen gaming platform; therefore, Catizen will break through its own Gaming Bot positioning in the later stage and turn to the third phase of its project development, the game Launchpool, thereby empowering all Catizen loyal players and holders of its governance tokens.
