Hereâs a full list of all the exchanges currently set to list CATI, the CATI airdrop schedule, and other details on the Catizen project.
What is Catizen?
Catizen (CATI) is a tap-to-airdrop and one of Telegramâs Web3 gaming superstars. Itâs a simple idle clicker mobile game in which players level up their virtual cats to produce in-game currencies.
After playing Catizen for a couple of months, CCN discovered the game had a simple yet addictive loop: producing more powerful cats to gain even more points (KITTY) to climb the leaderboards and qualify for the airdrop.
Airdrop points were also gained through daily check-ins, purchases, activities, and other on-chain interactions. Players can also earn a premium currency called âFishcoin,â which offers a few perks.
Users can boost their scores with the âFishingâ minigame where they spend âFishcoinâ, a premium currency to get more virtual currencies. These can also be used to buy other in-game boosters. Players can use real money to purchase more Fishcoin and essentially get ahead of the competition.
Catizen has 8 million daily active users, over 39 million on-chain interactions, over 1.1 million paying users, and generated over $31 million in revenue. The game is ambitiously setting out to build upon its success with more in-game features, future airdrop seasons, and even its own gaming/media ecosystem.

Catizen (CATI) Airdrop
The CATI airdrop commenced on Sept. 14. CATI holders had between Sept. 15 and Sept. 18 to claim and withdraw/stake CATI to their chosen exchange.
After Sept.19 at approximately 10:00 UTC, users can register their deposits to the on-chain non-custodial wallet. After Sept. 20, 10:00 UTC, the CATI will be distributed to user wallets.
The Season 1 airdrop saw 150 million CATI distributed to players. According to Catizen, over 1 million users have staked 14,8 million (or roughly 10% of the CATI airdrop) on centralized exchanges.
The airdrop will be completed over 12 quarters following the exchange listings. Beginning in the second quarter, 9.9 million CATI will be distributed. This figure will increase by 10% every quarter until the 7th quarter.
Telegram Airdrops
The CATI airdrop and token listing coincides with another Telegram Web3 gaming superstar, Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), which will begin its long-awaited HMSTR airdrop on Sept. 26.
With 60 billion HMSTR tokens set to be distributed to tens of millions of players, players are waiting to see if this airdrop can go off without a hitch. The CATI airdrop received backlash after the Catizen team changed the airdrop allocation percentage just moments before the airdrop itself.
Players were peeved to find that the Binance Launchpool would take up 9% of the promised 43% airdrop allocation. It was also revealed that around half of that 34% would be used for the Season 1 airdrop, and the remaining would be then distributed across future airdrop campaigns.
Telegram airdrops are the hottest ticket in crypto at the moment, and thereâs a risk that further failures on the part of these games and their airdrop promises could leave players sour and threaten the tap-to-earn modelâs longevity.
