Key Takeaways

Simon’s Cat is a popular book and animated series created by Simon Tofield that features a funny cat.

The Simon’s Cat brand has grown beyond its animation roots, branching out into mobile games, merchandise, and now the crypto space with the launch of its CAT token.

The CAT token blends Simon's Cat's humor and charm with Web3, offering fans interactive and fun blockchain experiences. 

CAT is officially recognized by the Banijay Group, the company that owns the Simon’s Cat intellectual property.

The Simon's Cat Series

Simon’s Cat is a popular book and animated series created by British animator Simon Tofield that shows the funny and troublesome behavior of a fat (and often hungry) cat.

Since its debut in 2008, the series has garnered over 1.6 billion views on YouTube and more than 25 million followers across various social media platforms.

In 2024, the brand expanded into the cryptocurrency space by launching the CAT token, aiming to combine entertainment with blockchain technology and introduce Web3 opportunities to its fanbase.

What Is the Simon's Cat Token (CAT)?

Inspired by the series, the Simon’s Cat Token (CAT) token was launched in August 2024. According to their whitepaper, the CAT project represents the seamless integration of the Simon’s Cat intellectual property (IP) into the Web3 world.

The CAT project secured $6.85 million in funding through two sales: a private sale raising $2.6 million at $0.00222 per 1000 tokens and a public sale that brought in $4.25 million at $0.00278 per 1000 tokens.

CAT was initially launched on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and later made available on the Solana blockchain as well. As of December 2024, CAT’s total supply is roughly 8.1 trillion tokens, with a circulating supply of approximately 6.75 trillion.

CAT and 1000CAT: what’s the difference?

Since CAT’s token supply is high, Binance adopted 1000CAT as a separate version of the original CAT token. As the name suggests, a single 1000CAT token represents 1,000 CAT tokens. So, if CAT’s trading price is around $0.000038, 1000CAT should be trading around $0.038.

Simon’s Cat Mission

Hybrid integration

CAT combines the familiarity of Web2 with the innovation of Web3 to offer a user-friendly experience for fans at all levels of blockchain proficiency, from beginners to advanced users.

Community-driven engagement

One of the core goals of the CAT project is to provide Simon’s Cat’s large audience with exclusive events, interactive content, and unique opportunities to connect with the brand and Web3 community.

Global accessibility

Another mission of the project is to leverage popular blockchain platforms like BNB Chain and Solana to maximize trading liquidity and accessibility for fans worldwide.

Social responsibility

Staying true to Simon’s Cat’s values, CAT uses a percentage of its token supply to actively support animal welfare through strategic partnerships and charitable initiatives.
