According to the Catizen whitepaper, Catizen plans to convert its in-game system to a standalone CATI token. Users participating in the game will be eligible for CATI token airdrops. CATI will be used for:

 

  • Catizen launchpool

  • Game center and trading bot

  • Short video platform

  • Open task center

  • E-commerce platform

$CATI Token Distribution

The total supply of one billion CATI will be distributed as follows:

 

  • Airdrop/ecosystem: 43%

  • Catizen treasury: 20%

  • Catizen team: 20%

  • Seed round funders: 8%

  • Liquidity reserves: 4%

  • Strategic round funders: 3%

  • Advisors: 2%

Initially, 35% of CATI tokens were planned for airdrop, but this was increased to 43% to reward the community’s support.

CATI Airdrop Is Still Pending in the Air 

The Catizen team has announced a delay in the CATI token airdrop, which was originally set for July 2024. The team needs more time to optimize crucial aspects for a successful token listing. These include securing major exchange listings, ensuring sufficient liquidity, providing trading options, and determining the listing price. Compliance and market sentiment could be also important factors in their decision to delay the CATI airdrop launch date.

 

“Delaying our airdrop was a difficult decision, and we understand the community's high hopes for an earlier airdrop, the investment involved, and the emotions attached,” they wrote on Twitter. “We are doing everything we can to achieve the best possible airdrop outcome for the community, while also considering the long-term development and sustainability of the CATI token.”

 

Pluto Studio, the developer behind Catizen, stated that seed round investors, advisors, and team members will not receive tokens at the Token Generation Event (TGE). Instead, they will receive tokens after 12 months, followed by a 12-month cliff period, and then vesting over four years. This decision aims to ensure long-term value for the CATI token.
