Popular Telegram Game Catizen (CATI) Celebrates Six-Month Anniversary with 34M Players

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for promising projects and a knack for spotting trends, I must admit that Catizen (CATI) has piqued my interest. The sheer scale of its growth within just six months is nothing short of impressive, especially considering it’s a Tap-to-Earn game on Telegram.


Catizen (CATI), a well-liked Tap-to-Earn game on the Telegram platform, is commemorating its half-year anniversary. It’s taking this opportunity to highlight notable achievements and impressive growth over a relatively brief period.

As per a recent declaration from X (previously known as Twitter), within six months, the game has attracted a global player base of 34 million individuals. Furthermore, over 2 million users are actively participating in the blockchain version of the game.

Impressive Growth and Bot-Free Engagement

In July, it was reported that Catizen (CATI) boasted roughly 25 million real, active users. Ricky Wong, one of Pluto Studio’s co-founders and the team behind the Telegram mini-app, highlighted that this figure excluded any automated bots. At that point in time, Wong clarified that the purpose of the mini-app is to closely monitor user behavior to ensure no fake players masquerading as humans are present.

Our backend allows us to closely track the actions of both bots and researchers. For example, if a user invites 5,000 other users, we can identify when these users were invited, their average number of cat merges, average cat levels, the frequency of their on-chain interactions, and their league positions. If these 5,000 users don’t become active within a few weeks, the data appears to be fake,” he explained.

According to Catizen, these figures position it alongside leading mobile games globally. Moreover, it’s worth noting that, despite being active for just six months, it currently holds the title of the highest-grossing T2E game on Telegram.

The game boasts a massive 800,000 paying users, which bumps up its average revenue per user (ARPU) to approximately $33. Furthermore, it was disclosed that 22.4% of all Telegram Premium subscribers are Catizen players, implying that around 2.24 million of Telegram’s paying users are also Catizen gamers.

Phase III Roadmap and Future Goals

Beyond these milestones, Catizen is working towards concluding its Phase III development blueprint in September. Upon the culmination of this phase, the game’s attention will shift to Phase IV.

The token called CATI is set to debut later in September, specifically on the 20th. On that very same day, you’ll be able to trade this digital currency on platforms like Biget and Bybit.

The game’s mantra “Play for the airdrop, Heal the world” resonates with its community, reflecting a unique blend of fun and purpose. The Catizen community can look forward to continued innovation as the game progresses, alongside partnerships within the blockchain ecosystem.

Previously, Pluto has successfully established collaborations with notable entities within the cryptocurrency sector, such as Binance Labs – the investment and nurturing division of the renowned cryptocurrency trading platform Binance, and HashKey.

Just last month, Binance Labs took charge in a funding round for a game publishing company, without revealing the specific amount invested. As per the company’s statement, these funds are earmarked to foster the progress and expansion of Catizen and its associated ecosystem.

Through this partnership, HashKey can offer regulatory insights, advisory services, and technical assistance on blockchain infrastructure management for Catizen and other networked products, ensuring they comply with regulations and operate efficiently.
