Catizen: Leading Cat-themed Chain Game in Telegram x TON Ecosystem
In the field of blockchain games, the primary factor that attracts players is often the fun of the game. However, the long-term value and development potential of a project cannot be evaluated solely based on its entertainment value. Projects that truly achieve long-term success in the blockchain game market, without exception, rely on solid technological foundations. Although on-chain games and engines are still in the early stages, the gaming sector in the Telegram x TON ecosystem has recently attracted attention from both inside and outside the industry due to its large user base and traffic. In particular, The Open League (TOL) launched by the TON Foundation has provided an opportunity for many outstanding projects to showcase their skills, with Catizen topping the list for three consecutive seasons, attracting attention with its strong technical capabilities.
Catizen: Pioneering the Play2Airdrop Model in Cat-themed Chain Games
Catizen is a Web3.0 social entertainment platform on Telegram, aiming to create a decentralized consumer application integrating mini-games, short dramas, and e-commerce. Its core project is the cat-themed game Catizen, built in the TON ecosystem. The game combines the metaverse, GameFi, and AI technology, and introduces the revolutionary Play2Airdrop model, allowing players to earn future airdrop rewards while enjoying the game.
Since the beta version of Catizen was launched on March 19, 2024, the number of players has rapidly increased. As of now, the number of players has exceeded 22.5 million, with nearly 1.3 million on-chain users, the highest daily active player count exceeding 3.5 million, and 500,000 paying users. The latest data shows that the total number of on-chain users of Catizen has exceeded 1.25 million and has ranked first in the TON Open League for three consecutive seasons.
Solid Technological Foundation: Catizen’s Core Competitiveness
Exclusive Game Engine: Catizen Game Engine
Unlike other game projects that rely on third-party game engines, Catizen has built its exclusive game engine – Catizen Game Engine. The engine is designed for Telegram mini-programs, supporting high-performance millisecond-level multi-threaded loading, data tracking, and global distributed loading technology.
High-performance millisecond-level multi-threaded loading: Improve game performance through multi-threaded asynchronous loading, reduce main thread blocking, accelerate game startup, ensure smooth scene transitions, and provide a seamless experience for players.
Data tracking: Built-in real-time data analysis platform with multi-dimensional data mining and machine learning functions, optimize game content, improve user retention and payment conversion rates.
Global distributed loading technology: Integrated with the global content delivery network (CDN), using intelligent edge computing and regional caching to ensure fast resource allocation and low-latency downloads, providing high-quality game experience for global players.
SDK: The Cornerstone of Building the Catizen Ecosystem
Catizen’s Software Development Kit (SDK) provides developers with one-stop services, allowing H5 game developers to easily publish games on Telegram by accessing the SDK. The entire operation only requires three steps: create H5 mini-games, connect to the Catizen SDK and game engine, and publish in the Catizen game center with one click.
Pluto Studio, the Catizen team, has been involved in Web2 mini-game competitions since 2018, with rich development and distribution experience. After entering the Telegram Web3 game track, they used valuable chain improvement experience and rich deployment experience in the TON ecosystem to gradually launch more games on the Catizen game platform.
Strong Technological Barriers
Catizen’s exclusive game engine and SDK have built strong technological barriers, making it stand out in the market competition. Catizen’s multi-threaded asynchronous loading technology and global distributed loading technology effectively solve the game experience problems caused by a large number of players online simultaneously. By using content delivery networks (CDN), Catizen provides a smooth and stable game environment for global players, significantly reducing latency and improving content loading speed.
By deeply integrating various functions of Telegram, Catizen provides a seamless and unique user experience. Its SDK enables developers to quickly develop and iterate game features, improving user experience and game lifecycle. Efficient resource management and network communication protocols ensure that the game maintains smooth performance in different network environments, enhancing user experience.
Catizen’s Development Roadmap
Catizen has released a complete 12-month development roadmap, including six stages in total:
Launch Catizen games and incentivize users to create encrypted wallets through airdrops;
Launch Catizen Launchpool, allowing users to stake, mine governance tokens wCATI Score;
Release Game Center and publish more games for users, supporting staking of CATI;
Launch a short video platform to expand the female user base;
Attract projects from the TON ecosystem using the Open Task Platform;
Launch an e-commerce platform to expand CATI token application scenarios.
Conclusion
With its strong technological capabilities, Catizen is not just a game, but also a community and a movement. With a solid technological foundation and a clear development roadmap, Catizen has distinguished itself in the Telegram x TON ecosystem. In the future, Catizen is expected to continue leading the trend in the blockchain gaming field and become an important force driving the development of Web3.0.
