Catizen Becomes Leading Game for Toncoin Users on Telegram

Catizen has emerged as the top game for Telegram Toncoin (TON) users, showing impressive off-chain and on-chain engagement. With over 6.5 million users off the blockchain and more than 230,000 on-chain addresses, Catizen has quickly become a favorite among Toncoin enthusiasts.

High engagement and growing community

Catizen’s user base continues to grow, with a significant presence in multiple Telegram communities across different languages. The game stands out with its high engagement levels, outperforming tap-to-earn games like YesCoin. Despite having fewer players than Hamster Kombat, the leading Telegram game, Catizen has built a strong community with competitive leaderboards ranking thousands of players.

Catizen trails Gamee in terms of off-chain users but surpasses it in on-chain engagements. The integration of Citizen tokens and the fast transaction speeds of the Toncoin blockchain enhance the gaming experience, allowing players to claim rewards and make transactions more frequently.

Innovative play-to-earn model

Catizen offers more than a simple clicker game. It features a full metaverse with playable characters and various in-game tokens, enabling players to upgrade and level up. The game boosts engagement through exclusive airdrops for specific assets. Successful Web2 games inspire this model, which focuses on farming-like activities and character upgrades.

The play-to-airdrop model, prevalent in Telegram games, contributes to Catizen’s success. Players compete for upcoming airdrops rather than already issued tokens, providing strong incentives to join the game. Although Catizen has not yet launched a native token, it promotes using TON for in-app purchases and leveling up, positioning itself as a pay-to-play game within the crypto economy.

Despite its success, Catizen faces challenges such as the presence of Sybil accounts. Players compete for 42% of the Catizen airdrop, but eliminating bots and multi-accounts remains difficult. On-chain data indicates a new Solana-based Catizen token with minimal Raydium trading activity, but this asset still needs to be integrated into the game economy. For now, valuable assets include in-game airdrops, consumables, and items.

There are signs that Catizen may adopt Toncoin as the native chain for its upcoming token, potentially trading under the CATI ticker. However, the game’s popularity could lead to confusion with copycat tokens.

Toncoin’s role in the gaming ecosystem

Toncoin, driven by its community and the native TON token, is gaining traction in the Web3 game space. Games like Catizen focus on off-chain engagement before introducing tokens. Toncoin now locks over $768 million, with significant growth in recent weeks. Despite concerns about the token’s unpredictable performance, it has maintained a value above $7 for weeks.

Catizen’s rapid rise as a top game for Toncoin users on Telegram highlights its strong engagement and innovative features. As the game grows, boosting Toncoin usage and value within the Web3 gaming ecosystem is vital.
