The TON blockchain-based tap-to-earn project went live with CATI on Friday morning (September 20). It is listed on multiple centralized exchanges, including Binance, Bybit, and Bitget. The team announced deposit registrations for CATI to non-custodial wallets opened on Thursday.
The airdrop tokens were distributed to eligible users today based on their game activity. This is part of a larger allocation of 340 million CATI tokens dedicated to airdrops. According to the team, the remaining 190 million CATI will be used for quarterly airdrop campaigns.

Many Catizen Players Disgruntled With Airdrop Allocations
Interesting thing about Catizen is that they are not short-term play, what they do is actually building an ecosystem that will be sustainable & rewarding for its users over the course of many years.

Many members of the Catizen community were underwhelmed regarding their token allocations. The team had originally allocated more of the supply to the airdrop campaign. However, the allocation was reduced at the last minute, with 9% of the token supply diverted toward the Binance Launchpool instead.
Pluto Studio, the team behind Catizen, claims to have more than 39 million total users and 18 million monthly users. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov took to his messaging app in July to praise the success of Catizen. “Catizen is a mini-game on Telegram with over 26 million players. The game has already earned $16 million from in-app purchases and donated 1% of it to rescue stray cats,” he said.
Since launching a few hours ago, CATI has been ranging between $0.89 and $0.93 as it pushes toward $1, per CoinGecko. When writing this article, CATI is due to go live on Binance in less than 30 minutes. The volume spike from Binance may be the catalyst to carry it over $1 and beyond.
