The Open Platform, the largest developer group for the TON network, has made an undisclosed investment in PLUTO Studio.

Catizen has received support from Hashkey and Binance Labs. Ben El-Baz, managing director of HashKey Global, attributed their involvement to the rapid increase in developers on the TON blockchain and the platform’s large user base of 900 million.

Catizen operates on a multi-token economy, using both in-game virtual coins and cryptocurrency tokens. The in-game coins include vKITTY, wCATI, Fishcoin, and Zen, each serving different functions within the game.

Players can earn these coins through various activities and use them to purchase resources and manage gameplay tasks.

The game’s native cryptocurrency, CATI, is set to launch on September 20, 2024. OKX, a leading crypto exchange, has announced that it will list the CATI token on its spot market, allowing eligible customers to trade CATI against USDT. To promote the listing, OKX has launched a ‘Trade and Earn CATI’ campaign, offering a reward pool of 50,000 CATI tokens for traders.

Catizen’s gameplay revolves around players taking on the role of mayor, managing a virtual city of cats. They can construct buildings, improve infrastructure, and oversee feline citizens. The game blends city-building mechanics with crypto economics, creating an engaging experience for users.

Looking ahead, Catizen plans to integrate artificial intelligence into the game in 2025. This AI integration aims to enhance the gameplay experience by influencing narrative, gameplay, and player decisions.

AI-controlled virtual cats could have unique goals, behaviors, and decision-making abilities, making interactions more dynamic and unpredictable.
