Mini-game Catizen for Telegram earned $16 million in in-game purchases and donated 1% of it to saving stray cats. The founder of the messenger, Pavel Durov, spoke about this.

According to him, the game attracted more than 26 million users. By using TON-based smart contracts to earn in-game rewards, Catizen introduced them to blockchain.

Durov also mentioned that the project team has created tools for other developers to easily launch games in Telegram and TON.

Catizen won the App Battle competition during the third season of The Open League. In it you need to breed cats and complete tasks to farm points.

Earlier it became known that The Open Platform company and the venture arm of the Binance crypto exchange invested undisclosed amounts in Pluto Studio, the publisher of Catizen.#BTC
