🟢 The simple version
Plain English — no jargon. Start here.
Catizen is a cat-merging puzzle game on TON blockchain accessed through Telegram, where players combine cats to create higher-level cats, earning CATI tokens — it was notably one of the first TON games to launch via Binance Launchpool.
Cat merging on TON
Catizen uses a merge mechanic (combine two identical cats to get a higher-tier cat) rather than pure tapping. The game attracted millions of Telegram players and became one of the top TON ecosystem games in 2024. CATI launched via Binance Launchpool, giving BNB and FDUSD holders the ability to earn CATI before the public launch — a significant distribution advantage and legitimacy signal.
Is CATI legal in India?
Yes. CATI is a VDA. 30% tax and 1% TDS apply.

CATI and Binance Launchpool
Being selected for Binance Launchpool is a significant milestone for a new token — it means Binance vets the project and gives its users early access. For CATI, the Launchpool significantly boosted awareness and initial distribution beyond the Telegram gaming community. Catizen differentiates from pure tap-to-earn games by having a more engaging game mechanic (merge) with longer play sessions.
