CATI Token Now Trading at $1! 🚀
😸 The CATI token has listed on major exchanges and is currently trading around $1!
👀 According to Catizen's creators, their game ranks first in revenue among all Telegram mini-apps, attracting over 34 million users in just six months. Of these, 2 million have connected TON wallets, with 800,000 making in-game transactions using Toncoin.
Despite user dissatisfaction and criticism regarding token distribution through airdrops, the excitement surrounding the CATI listing is palpable. 🤷
TON developers have warned that the token launch will test the blockchain's capabilities.
To manage the token distribution load, the TON Foundation has paused The Open League program for various ecosystem projects. A special token standard (TON Mintless Jetton) for Hamster Kombat has also been developed to ease blockchain pressure. 🔨
We’ll soon find out if TON can handle millions of hamsters, or if it will face challenges like with $DOGS. 🤔
