Catizen is a GameFi project that has attracted attention for its unique gameplay and token, $CATI, and is set to reward users through a highly anticipated airdrop. However, controversy has erupted even before the project distributes its tokens.
Airdrop Controversy?
Initially, Catizen promised to distribute 43% of its total token supply to players through an airdrop. But in a surprise move, this allocation was cut to just 30%, causing outrage among players who felt scammed.
Although some players put a lot of effort into the game, the number of tokens they received was much lower than expected. Only 15% of the supply was distributed on the day of the airdrop, many players were disappointed.
The Catizen team explained that bot accounts had manipulated the airdrop system, forcing them to amend the rules. But many community members remain skeptical about the fairness of the project.
Fraud Allegations
Due to these changes and the perceived unfairness, some players have raised red flags, labeling the airdrop a scam. Although the project cited bots as the problem, the damage to the project's reputation may be irreparable.
👉 Despite the backlash, the Catizen airdrop will still go ahead on September 20, with the CATI token being listed on a number of exchanges. Whether the project can recover from this controversy remains to be seen.
