Current deposit issues are mostly resolved. To all the unfortunate souls who struggled with those issues, as a sign of gratitude, we're giving a small bonus:

We took 10,000 big macs from our seed round and are distributing them among those affected + 10k score (for both current round and all-time)

Scores aren't just numbers. They affect incentives down the line + they're worth hunting for

Check your balances!

Happy New Year, Catapult Enjooyers

Catapult team wishes you a wonderful New Year's eve + great wins to come in the new year

We want to deliver for our users both a fun AND rewarding experience

What to expect, starting Jan:

> token graduation rollout
> new rewards system
> hyper
> new undisclosed features

Your activity on Catapult is more important than you think. Be sure it's not just real time incentives. More to come!

Points System / Get Rewarded For Every Action

We're introducing a new points system, with a complete overhaul of periodic rewards, — the update will properly incentivize your activity in the app

Points will be the criterium in the future iterations of rewards and incentives.

Get points for:

>every $1 of volume
>token creation
>referral volume (up to 45% of volume)
>mindshare

The new system will go live on Jan 6. Your scores will migrate at a 1 to 1 ratio.

1% referral share for token creation / make more on refs

We're adding an experimental feature of 1% token creation fee for referrals. We'll track how it runs and it its effect on platform growth for the next 7 days.

For you it means you're earning more on referrals: both from their volume and from the tokens their create

Invite + earn twice as much

New points / new rewards

Scores are out, points are in — a new system that incentivizes activities in a balanced way and distributes current and future rewards based on your actual contribution.

You're rewarded for:

>trading
>token creation
>referral volume
>mindshare

There are now two leaderboards distributing rewards: general activity (tracking all activity) and mindshare mining. These have separate pools and weights, so mindshare no longer drains rewards from the general pool.

General activity rewards are distributed daily, while mindshare has a weekly leaderboard.

Your points carry real value, which is why we're strict about any fraudulent or unfair activity related to points gaming.

We've conducted a thorough review of inauthentic activity in mindshare and, based on data analysis, calibrated the points for those activities. Users who engaged in inauthentic behavior received their share of rewards in USDT, but we can't allow these scores to influence future reward distribution.

We still have some fine-tuning to do for mindshare, so it's coming tomorrow with a new system that's independent of engagement and based solely on account reputation.

Daily tokens at all time high today

Are you farming volume fees, anon?

Points looking good now / FIX

Lately we've seen users experience invalid points assignment for previous activity. We've identified the issue and have recalculated the amounts so it's fair

Points are important and we'll be making sure users are rewarded according to their contribution.

The new features in the pipeline will make your time on the platform way too fun

On-chain deployment for Turbo tokens coming Jan 20

Next iteration: something you're not going to believe

Between 13:30 UTC and 15:40 UTC, the system experienced unusually high load. This caused delayed chart updates and lag when opening or closing positions.

This was our fault, not a user issue. We take full responsibility.

As a result, 1,675 users who had negative PNL during this window will receive a refund.
The refund will be credited to your Catapult balance by end of day (UTC)

Wen token migration?

The new feature that will allow you to catapult your tokens on-chain is in final stages.

We're doing extensive testing now to make sure it works properly.

Migration is coming this week.

Catapult has been audited by Hashlock / Provably Fair Charts

The app has completed an audit by Hashlock, a leading expert in smart contracts and blockchain security. Now the chart logic has been verified externally.

We remind our users that if they have basic knowledge of code, they can verify each chart themselves.

Each chart has a dedicated provably fair section with its unique identifier + we've published an in-depth explanation of the mechanic and how you can check both via the app UI and manually.

The math keeps mathing

On-Chain Migration is live / Catapult Your Micro Caps

The bridge between synthetic tokens and on-chain shitters is here. Now Catapult covers the full pipeline from $1 launch to on-chain graduation.

Here's how:

1. Collect $50k in volume
2. Wait for 15 mins
3. Trade the ultra microcap

Every creator has a shot - prepare the token idea beforehand so it can run.

The lightweight Hyper is now available. Trade on the Hyper tab or use a terminal if you need heavier tooling.

Preview of Catapult Futures - leverage + shorts. Coming next week

Some users noted withdrawal issues on Solana - it is highly likely that Relay is experiencing issues right now.

For now, use direct withdrawals, which are available for USDT on Ethereum, Arbitrum and HyperEVM

Relay deposits are temporarily down — we've disabled the feature until the issue is fixed. If you made a deposit and it has not arrived, don't worry: we'll take care of that.

Raise a support ticket on the website, in Discord or write in our Telegram community.

Deposits are back online + all issues fixed!

Best time to come back to trading

Big update coming soon btw

FUTURES ARE LIVE / WIN MORE

The long-awaited leveraged plays are here. Long and short tokens with up to 5x leverage. More volatility, more lucrative opportunities.

Currently futures are in the beta mode, with total position size of up to $300. We'll gradually increase the limit, so you can have decent exposure.

Note! Unlike regular isolated margin, we show notional size instead of margin, so whatever number you choose in the UI will be total position size (including leverage).

For all the TA traders out there: this is your moment. Check slows/fasts with lev - if you found volatility lacking, it won't be any more.

To trade futures, go to a token page and switch from spot to futures. Good luck!

Futures position size limit has been increased to $500!

We're rolling them out of beta in the next two weeks, with a way bigger limit - for now it will increase gradually

If you're not trading Catapult Futures right now, you're missing out btw just try

Irresponsible gains on futures now possible

We've rolled out two significant updates:

Notional position limit - $1,000

Leverage increased by token type: slow - 125x, fast - 40x, flash - 15x, crack and mayhem stay at 5x

Lifechange deployed
