Launched in March, Catizen quickly became one of the most popular minigames on Telegram. This “Tap-to-Earn” game allows players to earn rewards by continuously tapping the screen and completing tasks to care for virtual cats. In just a few months, Catizen has attracted approximately 25 million players, including 1.5 million on-chain gamers and over 500,000 paying users globally.

With the new capital, Hong Kong-based Pluto Studio has set forth ambitious development plans:

  • Launch 18 New Minigames: They plan to release around 18 diverse genre minigames on Telegram in the coming months, integrating similar Web3 technology as used in Catizen.
  • Expand into Other Entertainment Sectors: Beginning with the development of a series of short films incorporating Web3 elements.
  • Develop a Mini E-commerce Application: This app will enable users to shop for goods and items directly within the Pluto ecosystem, enhancing user experience and community engagement.
  • Increase Hiring: Expanding their team, particularly in product management and marketing.
  • Prepare for CATI Token Airdrop: The official announcement for the airdrop timing will come later. CATI token holders will share a portion of the revenue and can stake CATI to earn other game tokens within the ecosystem.

Catizen’s business model aligns with the trending “Tap-to-Earn” games on Telegram, competing with titles like Notcoin, Hamster Kombat, PixelTap, OKX Racer, and DejenDog by HashKey.
