Telegram mini-app Catizen is rocking the telegram world with 34 million users and topping the revenue charts just six months since its launch. Since its launch in early 2024, it has quickly gained traction in the Web3 space, attracting millions of users with its engaging gameplay and rewarding airdrop mechanism. Catizen provides an interactive gaming experience where players earn rewards through their participation and engagement within the app.
The game’s gameplay revolves around virtual cats, which players may own, nurture, and upgrade in an online “cat cafe.” Catizen allow players to gain prizes by maximizing their virtual money, VKITTY, which can then be redeemed for in-game enhancement and future CATI token airdrops.
Catizen was originally launched on Ton, but later expanded to Ethereum’s Mantle Network in June following a strategic agreement, extending the potential for player incentives.
Catizen stands out for its capacity to recruit a huge engaged user base. Over two million on-chain Catizen players actively interact in the game’s ecosystem, helping to drive tremendous income growth. The game has 800,000 paying players and an average revenue per paying user of $33.
This is a significant milestone in a space where many apps struggle to convert free users into paying customers.
This kind of performance put Catizen on the same caliber as the best mobile games, demonstrating its potential in the Web3 gaming sector. The high level of interaction is due in part to the frequency of airdrops, which have proved essential in attracting and maintaining people.
Strong partnerships, spurring growth
The game’s rapid rise to success can be underscored by its recent financial developments. Pluto Studio, the publisher of Catizen, has secured an undisclosed investment from The Open Platform, the largest developer group in the TON network. This investment signals strong confidence in Catizen’s potential and provides additional resources to support its expansion.
Additionally, the game has also partnered with one of the biggest platforms, Binance Labs. This partnership has lauded the game’s rapid growth and potential to attract billions of people to the Web3 sector.
Citizen also partnered with HashKey Group, one of the key players in blockchain infrastructure,to improve the game’s position in the TON ecosystem. This partnership has allowed Catizen to integrate more complex crypto services into the game ensuring that its players have access to regulated and safe digital assets.
Catizen’s phase 3 release
In addition to these accomplishments, Catizen is also preparing for phase 3 release this month, strengthening its position in the competitive GameFi landscape.
In a X post, the platform shared details of its future plans, community engagement and token utility scenario.
Users can look forward to the launch of a new Mini-Game Center and launchpool, providing additional incentives and engagement opportunities for CATI holders.
The platform is also expanding its ecosystem, with Pluto Vision labs contracting 18 games to create a thriving Catizen Gaming universe centered around the CATI token.
Catizen hopes that by integrating gaming with DeFi principles, the project can optimize the value capturing function of the CATI token and ensure its longevity. Following the feedback from the users, Catizen is also addressing the Catizen airdrop delay and emphasizing its commitment to long-term benefits and sustainable development for its community development.
Catizen is preparing for its Airdrop by partnering with leading exchanges, ensuring ample liquidity and establishing a fair listing price. They are also taking compliance and market sentiment into account.
