A cat-raising game that runs inside Telegram on TON. You merge and breed virtual cats, do daily tasks, play mini-games, and earn rewards. CATI is the game's token.

Is CATI its own blockchain?

No. CATI is a token, a TON Jetton, that rides on top of TON's network. It does not have its own consensus. It also runs in parallel on Mantle, but the main contract lives on TON.

How many CATI tokens are there?

The total supply is fixed at 1 billion CATI and the docs say it will never be increased, so it is not inflationary. Only part of that was circulating when the token launched in September 2024.

Where can I buy CATI?

It listed on major exchanges on September 20, 2024, including Binance, where it was the 59th Launchpool project. It moves a lot, so only try a small amount. (Information only, not an exchange or investment recommendation.)

📖 The Story

March 2024. A small cat game appeared inside Telegram, the chat app, rather than as a separate download. You opened it like any chat, and there was a tabby waiting to be fed. The pitch was simple enough for anyone to get: raise cats, then drag two of the same kind together to merge them into a bigger, better one. Free, tappable, and sitting right next to your group chats.

It was built by Pluto Studio, a Web3 gaming team. Its founders are usually named only as David and Pierce, with little public detail behind those names, so treat the people side as lightly documented.

The hook was the loop. Every merge made a fatter cat, every fatter cat purred out more in-game currency, and a wall of small daily tasks kept you coming back tomorrow. Word spread through Telegram itself, and the player count climbed into the millions. The project later claimed tens of millions of players in total, though that is a self-reported marketing figure, not an audited one.

September 20, 2024. The game minted a real token, CATI, and it went live on major exchanges the same day. Binance featured it as its 59th Launchpool, meaning people could farm early CATI by locking up other coins in the days before. With that, a pocket-sized cat farm had its own tradable coin.

🧩 How it works

CATI is not its own blockchain. It is a token, a Jetton (TON's token standard), riding on TON, so it borrows TON's network and security instead of running its own. The same CATI also exists in parallel on Mantle, but the main contract logic stays anchored on TON. Inside the game you juggle a few soft currencies (kitten income, boosters, event points), and CATI is the one that leaves the game to trade on exchanges.

🔁 Merge 🐱➕🐱 into a fatter cat → it purrs 😺💰 in-game coins → 📅 daily tasks bring you back to merge again — a loop that sits on ⛓️ TON, with 🪙 CATI as the one token that exits to trade.

🌗 Light & Shadow

🌕 Light

Real reach. The game pulled in millions of Telegram players, which is a genuine audience most new tokens never get near
Dead simple to start. Merging cats inside a chat asks for no wallet setup and no crypto knowledge on day one
Fixed supply. CATI is capped at 1 billion and the docs say it will never grow, so it is not minted endlessly

🌑 Shadow

Its value leans on one game staying fun. If players drift away, the token's main reason to exist drifts with them
Thin on the people side. The founders are known mostly as David and Pierce, with little verified detail behind the names
Wave-rider risk. It rode the 2024 Telegram tap-game craze, and many tokens in that wave fell hard after their launch hype faded

🧬 Evolution lineage

Catizen is not a fork or clone of any coin. It has no genealogical parent. It belongs to the 2024 wave of Telegram tap-and-play games on TON, a sibling-by-ecosystem to tokens like Notcoin (NOT) and Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), not a descendant of any of them.
