Owning ZCAT: Rewards, Storage and Risks

Anonymous Cat (ZCAT) is a Solana meme token whose stated holder feature is rewards paid in Zcash (ZEC). You do not stake ZCAT or submit a claim to receive those distributions: eligible holders are described as receiving automatic airdrops to their wallets. The reward amount depends on token activity, so it is variable rather than a promised return.

Beyond its meme identity and this reward mechanism, ZCAT has no established practical use such as paying for a service or giving governance rights in the facts published about the project. Its name and ZEC distributions also do not make ZCAT itself a privacy token. If you are considering holding it, treat it as a speculative token, not as a way to earn fixed income or gain Zcash privacy features.

ZCAT is issued on Solana; it is not the native coin of a blockchain. You need a wallet that supports Solana tokens to hold it, and any transfers or swaps take place using Solana-compatible services. Check the token’s identity carefully before sending funds: a matching name or ticker alone does not prove that a token is the intended ZCAT.

The project description says rewards are sent directly to eligible holder wallets, but does not publish a complete eligibility threshold or a list of supported wallets. Confirm that your wallet can receive both Solana tokens and ZEC on the network used for the distribution before relying on rewards. A ZEC transfer sent to an address or network that cannot receive it may be difficult or impossible to recover. Never share your recovery phrase with a site or person claiming to activate rewards, and do not connect your wallet just to “claim” an airdrop that is described as automatic.

ZCAT has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. The reported circulating and total supply are both about 966 million, so most of the stated maximum is already in circulation. That does not tell you how concentrated ownership is, whether large holders may sell, or how much ZCAT is readily available to trade.

As of 2026-11-08, ZCAT was about $0.0131, with a reported market capitalization of about $12.6 million and 24-hour trading volume of about $2.9 million. It had fallen about 66% over the preceding seven days. Its reported all-time high was about $0.176 on 2026-09-07, and its all-time low was about $0.0117 on 2026-11-08. These are dated snapshots, not forecasts; prices and market depth can change quickly, especially for meme tokens. Check current figures and the amount you can actually trade before making a decision.

ZCAT’s stated holder-reward model includes a permanent 3% transfer tax. The project says fees from ZCAT trading and transfers are used to generate ZEC rewards, which are distributed proportionally to eligible holders. The 3% tax is a direct cost to account for when buying, selling, or transferring; the amount you receive can also be affected by trading price, liquidity, and any exchange-specific charges.

Rewards are not guaranteed or fixed. They depend on token activity, and the project does not publish a guaranteed rate or a fixed schedule in the description of the mechanism. Confirm the current token rules and what counts as eligible before buying on the assumption that you will receive ZEC. Also check whether a platform supports the relevant token and reward transfers. A displayed reward or past distribution is not evidence that future payments will match it.

Store ZCAT in a Solana-compatible wallet whose recovery phrase you control, or use a reputable custody provider after checking that it supports the exact token. Keep your recovery phrase offline and private; anyone who gets it can take your assets. For larger holdings, consider a hardware wallet, and verify the recipient address and network before every transfer. Test with a small amount if you are unsure how a wallet handles the token or ZEC distributions.

The main risks are substantial price swings, thin or changing liquidity, concentrated holdings, and the possibility that a meme token loses interest. The transfer tax reduces the amount moving between wallets and can make repeated trading costly. Reward payments may vary or stop if activity changes or the mechanism does not operate as expected. The project does not publish an audit in the facts stated here, so do not assume the contract or reward logic has been independently verified. Avoid links and unsolicited messages promising bonus ZEC, and never reveal your seed phrase to receive an airdrop.
