Catizen (CATI) Price

CATI is the governance and utility token of the Catizen ecosystem, issued primarily as a Jetton on the TON blockchain; its token generation event (TGE) began on September 20, 2024. It is a crypto asset, not equity in Catizen, a deposit certificate, or a direct claim on project profits. “Governance and utility” indicates that CATI is designed for ecosystem activities and governance-related use cases, but the token itself does not guarantee that holders will receive eligibility for any particular goods, services, or activities; specific functions are subject to the rules of the relevant activities and products.

CATI's tokenomics description positions it as an ecosystem token combined with staking, game participation, and key governance voting; participants who meet the relevant mechanism conditions may receive third-party utility tokens or in-game virtual rewards through Launchpool and Task Center. This is not a promise that rewards will be received merely by holding CATI. Whether a person can participate, which game or staking actions must be completed, who provides the rewards, and the actual outcome are all determined by the specific activity rules; third-party tokens and in-game virtual rewards are also not fixed returns on CATI.

CATI has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, and the model states that this cap will not increase further. Maximum supply is a total-supply boundary; it is not the same as the quantity freely tradable in the market at any given time. The actual tradable supply is also affected by the initial TGE release, the airdrop schedule, and the lock-ups and linear releases for each allocation category. Therefore, a fixed total supply only indicates that the cap will not rise through additional minting; it does not by itself indicate price, liquidity, or future circulating supply.

CATI is allocated as follows: 43% for airdrops and the ecosystem, 5% for liquidity, 15% for the treasury, 20% for the team, 10% for investors, and 7% for advisors. Of the airdrop and ecosystem allocation, 34% is for airdrops and 9% is for Launchpool; the airdrop portion is further divided into first-season player rewards and subsequent quarterly activity releases. Releases are not completed at the same time: at the TGE, the model releases 30.5% of the total supply, including a 15% first-season player airdrop, 9% for Launchpool, 5% for liquidity, and 1.5% for the treasury; the treasury, team, investor, and advisor categories are each released linearly over 48 months after a 12-month cliff. Subsequent airdrop portions are released according to quarterly activity arrangements, with the model targeting completion over 12 quarters after the TGE. A cliff means that releases do not follow a linear schedule during that phase; linear release is the gradual release over the subsequent period.

No. CATI does not grant project ownership, claims on profits, dividends, redemption rights, or fixed returns; holders also do not automatically own shares in a Catizen entity because they hold the token. Ecosystem activities may offer rewards, but these are outcomes allocated according to the conditions of the relevant activity, rather than fixed income attached to the token. The whitepaper also expressly warns that token value may be partly or completely lost and that its transferability or liquidity is not guaranteed in every circumstance.
