Did you miss out on the DOGS airdrop? Or perhaps you were too late for the Hamster airdrop or Tapswap cinema codes? Don’t worry! There’s still a promising crypto project on Telegram that might be your lucky break—Catizen ($CATI). This article will guide you through the Catizen airdrop, listing date, eligibility criteria, roadmap, and how to claim $CATI tokens.

 What is Catizen?

**Catizen** is a cat-themed mini-app game on Telegram that blends play-to-earn mechanics with the security of the **TON blockchain**. The game is set in a virtual cat café within the "MEOWverse," where players unlock different levels and credentials by acquiring various virtual cat breeds. These levels grant access to **Launchpool** and other game features.

Catizen aims to introduce Web 2.0 users to Web 3.0 through a rewarding and engaging experience. According to its website, the project has already onboarded over 12 million gamers, including more than 700,000 on-chain participants. It supports multiple blockchains, enabling smooth integration between **TON** and **Mantle**.

Since its launch on March 19, 2024, Catizen has rapidly grown in popularity. By July 30, 2024, it boasted over 26 million players.

How to Play Catizen on Telegram

To earn rewards and boost your chances of securing the Catizen airdrop, follow these steps to play the Catizen game on Telegram:

1. Download and set up **Telegram** from the App Store, or log into your existing account.

2. Search for Catizen on Telegram or click here to access the game.

3. Click on **"Play for Airdrop"** to enter the mini-app game.

4. Start merging similar virtual cats to increase your vKITTY earnings. Merging boosts productivity and allows players to level up to more advanced cat breeds.

5. Complete daily tasks with your cats to earn extra rewards.

6. Use in-game currency like **Fish** or **vKITTY** to buy new cats, and occasionally boost productivity with in-game rewards.

7. Participate in the **referral program** to earn a fraction of the rewards from your referrals’ in-game activities and airdrops.

8. Try out the **SPIN** feature, where you can spin the wheel to earn in-game rewards like **FishCoin** and **xZEN**.

 Catizen In-Game Rewards

The Catizen game features four key in-game currencies:

- **xZEN**: Earned through spins and referrals, xZEN represents a player’s social score, impacting their future airdrop earnings.

- **vKITTY**: The main in-game currency, earned by merging and upgrading cat breeds.

FishCoin**: Earned by completing daily tasks, used to purchase in-game items.

wCATI: A limited reward, distributed only to participants of the first Catizen Launchpool. wCATI holders will receive an additional share in future airdrops.

These currencies reflect the four key attributes—Love, Health, Wealth, and Social**—required to participate in the **CATI airdrop**.

 What is $CATI?

CATI is Catizen’s native governance and utility token. Holders can stake their tokens, play games, and participate in governance decisions. Unlike in-game tokens, CATI cannot be earned directly by playing the game. Instead, it is distributed through the **Catizen airdrop** based on a player’s engagement, such as in-game social behavior, daily task completion, and on-chain interactions.

The total supply of CATI is capped at 1 billion, distributed as follows:

- Advisors: 7%

- Liquidity: 5%

- Seed Investment: 8%

- Strategic Investment: 2%

- Team: 20%

- Treasury: 15%

- Ecosystem Airdrop: 43%

Catizen's non-profit foundation oversees governance, resource distribution, and daily task management. The platform plans to introduce a DAO governance model within 12 months of the **Token Generation Event (TGE).

#What is the Catizen Airdrop?

At launch, Catizen announced an airdrop event to distribute free **CATI tokens** to eligible participants, allowing them to trade, hold, or sell their holdings. Initially, 35% of the total CATI supply was earmarked for the airdrop, but this was later increased to 43% due to community support. This distribution is designed to reward loyal and active players.

How to Qualify for the Catizen Airdrop

To increase your chances of receiving CATI tokens, you must:

1. Play the game: Participation through the Telegram mini-app is the primary eligibility criterion.

2. Accumulate vKITTY: The more vKITTY you earn, the greater your airdrop rewards.

3. Level up cats: Continuously merge cats to unlock higher-level breeds, which can increase your in-game rewards and airdrop benefits.

4. Connect a wallet: Link a TON-compatible wallet to the game to avoid missing out on rewards.

5. Complete tasks: Stay active in daily tasks and social quests to maximize your vKITTY earnings and improve your airdrop eligibility.

Catizen Airdrop Listing Date

The Catizen team originally announced July 2024 for the airdrop event, but the date has been postponed. The team explained that they need more time to optimize key aspects such as securing exchanges, ensuring liquidity, and setting the listing price. They also cited external factors beyond their control as contributing to the delay.

Importantly, only retail participants will benefit from the Catizen airdrop at the TGE. Seed round investors, advisors, and team members will have to wait through a 12-month lock-up period, followed by another 12-month cliff and a four-year vesting schedule.

This structure ensures the long-term sustainability of the **CATI token**.
